Light Installer Script (LIS) - DiskSpan_GUI

You can use RoundUp only after converting to MB.
RoundUp rounds the values ​​to a multiple of 64, because for example if you get 493 MB it would return 512 MB (Which would be a multiple of 64).
You can change the example script to:

+ 'GPU VRAM: ' + ConvertUnitFormat(GetGPUVRAM, In_Bytes, In_MegaBytes, 0, False) + #13#10

Attached is a solution for compatibility with Inno Setup 5.51.ee2

Thank you for helping me improve this module

You must have commented or deleted the line:

#define public GameSizeMB ????

Or you may have deleted the lines:

#define MbToBytes(int Value) \
  Local[0] = AddBackSlash(GetEnv("TEMP")) + GetDateTimeString('yyyy/mm/dd-hh:nn:ss', '.', '.') + "_tmp.ISPP", \
  Local[1] = """" + AddBackslash(SourcePath) + "Resources\Includes\Calc.exe"" " + Str(Value) + " * 1024 * 1024 > """ + Local[0] + """", \
  Exec(GetEnv("ComSpec"), "/C """ + Local[1] + """", "", 1, SW_HIDE), \
  Local[2] = FileOpen(Local[0]), FileOpen(Local[0]), \
  Local[3] = FileRead(Local[2]), FileClose(Local[2]), \
  DeleteFile(Local[0]), Local[3]

Check if this is at the beginning of your script.

For me here the shared script file is working correctly.

But if you change the installer target file which is "Setup" in:
#define OuputFile "Setup"
You must rename the Setup.dll file to the same name as the executable just changing the extension which is ".dll"

NOTES:
I found a small bug in the LIS which is the name of the "DECOMPRESSORS" folder must be "DECOMPRESSOR" (without the "S") so that the decompressors added to the folder are inserted in Setup.exe (You cannot use it together with the DSG_InternalDLL option ).
So rename your folders to "DECOMPRESSOR" if you need to use the resource, or change name in DSG_Module.iss to "DECOMPRESSORS".

Record a video showing what happens...
Show the folder with Setup.exe so I can see its contents.

See the attached video that everything works here for me.

I cant find setup.dll in your script. DO i need first use compressor for create this file?

yes first compress your installed game

[demon964]

When i run setup (DIsk spn gui used) after 20-30 % cant unpack files. I think fitgirl added maximum 2gb ram usage for this error. its same problem. Can you add maximum 2gb usage to this script?

[demon964]

i need create additional new data file or component file with diskspan and install to Documents folder. How i can do this ?

solution: {userdocs} & {commondocs}

[demon964]

1)how include and exclude folders, not files?



2) i selected "custom destination to unpack files" for data2.bin to documents folder. When i start uninstall.exe, uninstaller not deleting data2.bin extracted files (documents folder)

1) The folder must be within the selected folder where the game is installed.
then you can use type:

Bin\*
Texture\*

2) Try using the generate file list option in the DiskSpan GUI. In developer mode select "Create Single List" in the combobox corresponding to "Uninstall files list:" and save.
When compressing, an additional ini file will be generated within setup.dll that will contain information about the files stored in each data#.bin file.

In the LIS installer remove ";" from the beginning of the line below to use the uninstall list option before compile setup.exe.

#define CreateUninstallList

P.S: If the game has a very large number of files, it may take a while to generate the list after compression, and also the uninstallation will go file by file and will take longer.

[QUOTE=Cesar82;505171]1) The folder must be within the selected folder where the game is installed.

Bin\*
Texture\*

Thanks worked now. It's not a major issue, but even when I add folder exclude list to the first `data.bin` file , it still creates an empty folder after installation.




Can you add maximum 2gb ram usage function from this script? https://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=103201

I don't have the time or the energy for that. Ask the script developer.
