Need help repack my games, im new to this

[GybEMHPj4XAp3Cu]

Hello I'm completely new to this and it's been 2 days i'm trying to understand but I don't really understand,or where to start if I need to compress the game first or make the installer first ? this is really confusing and what to edit to make it an final ISO file with the setup.exe + Data1b-01.bin and Data1b-02.bin,Records.ini, autoruns.ini ?

I managed to figure out how DiskSpan GUI worked with method of compressions etc, and i'm getting twos file Data1b-01.bin and Data1b-02.bin in Conversion_Output folder.

But now for the installer I installed inno setup and got an installer from here which is compatible with DSG but where do I put Data1b-01.bin and Data1b-02.bin and setup.dll to make the setup.exe Final, if I tried to compile I get an error lol?

I think when you using DSG the you can copy or move the Setup.exe file next to data-?.bin file in the Conversion_Output folder like this

And where do I add the setup.exe to make a final ISO with DSG for BD 50 or BD 100 and compress it after, because I only see Setup.dll,data1a-01.bin,data2a-01.bin, autoruns.ini & Records.ini in my ISO, where is the setup.exe?

And I don't understand this in the code source of the installers.
#define GameExe "XFRGB\BIN64\XFRGRIDBERD_Launcher.exe"
Do I need to define my game location in %programfiles% which my game is already installed on my pc? or it's where the game gonna get installed ,I suposse it's where the game gonna get installed..

And for the installer, I can't compile it with inno setup? why? I cannot compile any installer???

In Inno Setup version 6.4 and higher there is no MainForm anymore. that's where you get the error.

How do I remove the setup.dll + records.ini from my final ISO file ?

Also why's the installer does not drop the .exe game on the desktop when the game is installed and how do I add the icon in control panel because I don't see any why but I see the icon from the label setup.icon lol?

There's no .exe of the game too, this is weird.

You cannot remove the Setup.dll and Records.ini files.
Setup.dll contains the files needed by the installer to unpack your game, and Records.ini contains the compressed file information needed to unpack it.

You can include these files, but to do so you must use the DSG tools by clicking on the TOOLS button and then on the "Setup DLL" tab.
You must unpack Setup.dll and place all the unpacked contents of Setup.dll and Records.ini in a folder named "Setup_DLL" next to the installer script and recompile the script.

You must correctly configure the path to the game executable at the beginning of the script, in: #define GameExe
The game executable is probably inside the "StandOff_Data" folder or in another subfolder of the game.
or there was some capture of the game executable before you compressed the original game folder.
To create icons, remove // on begin of the 3 lines inside [Icons] section os script and recompile.

Which one is correct the #1 or #2 ? can you show me a picture how it's suposse to look like ,because the installer part is confusing.

After selecting the game executable in developper mode and save to get into DSG ,I'm trying to select the game directory ,and the OK button get gray out ,any idea why?

[GybEMHPj4XAp3Cu]

I removed the // in fronts of the 3 lines [icons] it's not compiling ,wtf?

The game executable is probably inside the "StandOff_Data" folder or in another subfolder of the game.
answer: There was no executable because I can only choose only one, the executable or the game folder ,I can't select both lol..

Setup.dll contains the files needed by the installer to unpack your game, and Records.ini contains the compressed file information needed to unpack it.
answer:Codex legitimate packs doesn't have setup.dll+Records.ini , what he might be using? freearc?
