INNO TROUBLESHOOT - Questions Here

[kj911]

Questions from calculated installed game size info added via INNO setup appsize info: Use raw bytes count on installed all files or use phsycal disk storage count calculated via OS??? (Note: The disk size reservation is related to the sector size. Example: 512byte, 4096byter, 32kB, etc...)

Example:

~160k files, and size in bytes (without uninstaller): 19 034 361 518 byte
OS calculated Disk Space size (NTFS, WinXP): 19 340 095 488 byte

Size difference its ~300MB!

That's more precisely the cluster size.

Hello, how do I display the installer at the bottom of the screen? instead of being in the middle?

Unarc.dll error code: -12
Error: file ...\Music_2.csb failed CRC check
compression: xtool:mreflate + any other method
things tried: disable AV, install MVC++, increase page file, install on different drive
-----
using different pre-compressor like xt_lzo (or none at all) solves the issue

The task killing code (green line, from use Xtool) its works from newer OS than Win XP??

procedure CancelButtonClick(CurPageID: Integer; var Cancel, Confirm: Boolean);
....
ISDoneError:=True;

Exec('taskkill.exe', '/f /im XT.exe','', SW_HIDE, ewNoWait, ResultCode);
DelTree(ExpandConstant('{app}'), True, True, True);
AllCancel2;

It does.

Is it possible to import an external variable, for example the name of the software package that is defined within a ".ini" config file, for use in an Inno Setup message (namely SetupAppTitle, line 31)?

In essence I'm attempting "SetupAppTitle" to read (for example) "{#Game_Name} Setup", but can't quite figure out if this is possible. I'm currently just manually overwriting the value in question but it is a tad tedious.

There are GetIniInt and GetIniString functions.

Hi guys. I'm using Inno Script Studio + Inno Setup (both updated) to compress little games. For example "Cult of the Lamb" (1.14GB).

I have tested the installation on my pc (ryzen with 16 threads and 16GB of ram), but a friend of mine is getting an error "out of memory" on his pc with 32GB of ram.

These are the parameters that I'm using:

Compression=lzma2/ultra64
DiskSpanning=yes
DiskSliceSize=max
LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes
LZMADictionarySize=1048576
LZMANumFastBytes=273

someone knows which one of those parameters is causing "out of memory" error in installation? Thanks to everyone that is going to help me.

Checking from the task manager, the setup in installation is using 1029MB of ram at max and works fine on my pc.

Edit: solved using -> LZMADictionarySize=524288

Use this:

LZMADictionarySize=10500

Hi guys, I have questions about features of this version

1: what's the [speed button] is and what is its use?

Speed Button (see image) of the New SpeedButton class is a button with the option of including a context menu, but for this you must also use TPopupMenu and TMenuItem.

Is there a list of T<> identifiers in Inno Setup 6?

I am trying to load an animated gif but I'm finding it hard. TBitmapImage is incorrect, I found references online to needing to use TGifImage or TImage but they don't appear to exist in inno.

Here's what I have so far (I understand that it isn't correct):

  ExtractTemporaryFile('LOGOIMAGE.GIF');
  LogoImage := TGifImage.Create(WizardForm);
  with LogoImage do
  begin
    Name := 'LogoImage';
    Parent := WizardForm;
    SetBounds(ScaleX(10), ScaleY(10), ScaleX(300), ScaleY(60));
    //Gif.LoadFromFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\LOGOIMAGE.GIF'));
  end;

Thanks!

I think there is no native way in Inno Setup to show animated gif images.

Would that mean I would need to include a library such as botva2?
