Agree with that , Altef4’s post had clearly an educational inclination and the tutorial section made sense. I just point its leaning is different now and his installer may have more success in the main section.

I'm very interested on this Installer and the EI Designer. Looks great! Keep up the Work, I'm hot to Test it.

Can you tell when is your IEDesinger is ready? Try it now 8 times to make an Installer out of your Source but I can't look though. Only errors??!!

designer it's just GUI interface, i don't know when it's will be finished, about errors can you tell what you do exactly, or show some screens with errors?

Ok, I've made an Installer for Metal Gear RR out of you Borderlands Example with Internal Compression, It works. At the End of Installation I've got a few Errors.
All together: "File: OnClick.wav, OnEnter.wav, Confirm.wav, Decline.wav, Confirm.wav, Decline.wav not found!" I also found no one of these files in the Example. No Clue whats wrong. The Errors comes before the Finish Window.
Questions:
1: How can I set the Internal Compression Mode? (Lzma/fast/Ultra)
2: Is there a Trick that the Slideshow "Slides" automatic? Or have I always to click though for myself?
3: What are the Best settings for the Video? Can I use Video and Slideshow or only Video, only Slideshow?

my installer used modified version of Inno Media Player by tlama, and some instructions are in this post

have moved thread from conversion tutorial to main thread, where it will get more attention it now deserves. It started as a tutorial but now is more of a script in itself.
nice work bud

Good work till now, but I find the next (or new) bug.
The Start Menu shortcut does not work correct. After Install the Game I have a no named Shortcut from the Install dir on Desktop!
In Start Menu it's, Konami -> Empty Folder-> under this-> Start Game, Uninstall Game.
Can't be correct...
I've made the exacly same like in old Version of your Installer, and there it wasn't so.
But Video works fine, auto Slideshow also.
I hope I can change the size of the Progessbar like I want, the Size from Example is TOO BIG for me.

in this update i made few changes in Installer.ini:
1: desktop icons now in [Shortcuts] section
2: added [Internal] section
3: internalSetup moved to [internal] section
4: added aotoslideinterval to [Slideshow] section (value in seconds)

do you edit your Installer.ini after update?

you can change Progressbar size and position:
in installer.ini:
[ProgressBar] section, key PBBack=Left,Top,Width,Heught (settings for standart progressbar and background image of textured progressbar, if you use textured)
[ProgressBar] section, key PBMain=Left,Top,Width,Height,Animated(0|1),Animati on interval(settings only for main image of textured progressbar, if you use textured)

p.s. almost all configs in installer.ini have this structure:
e.g.
Welcome=430,155,400,150,1,$E1E12D,$000000,EagleSan s-Regular,12,9
Welcome=left,top,width,height,font color,shadow color,font name, main font size, little font size

Yea I know, and its good.
The Problem is an another one. I've left only a few Buttons and the Windowsizes from Example.
The Problem is this:
