FMXInno Chronicles: Installer Source Code Index / Repository

[Fak Eid]

After working on Steam Limitless, this idea clicked my mind and ever since I've been working on it and always wanted to share. It's just I'm soo excited to share this piece of work with you all, well most of the code is reused from Steam Limitless. So, here is the stable version of my Epic Games Installer.

Please test it and feel free to report them back to me. Works best on 1080p 125% scale

Right now, you can have:
- Unlimited Redists
- DSG or Custom Tools support for extraction
- Promised Updates will be posted here in future

What's New:
- Different type of Files Verification
- Different type of Installation progress Bar and section.
- Custom created Font
- Custom created style file for all resolution support
- Custom Slideshow and Generic WebView file added

PS: Humble request to please not remove the watermark and link to my YT channel. This is going to be the final update of the installer. All updates included. Bug fixes will only happen if reported in future.

Mirrors Edge Game Menu Installer
An installer in the style of the Mirror's Edge game menu. This is just an example of the possibilities. Do not use it for its intended purpose.

- Enable or disable the use of DSG depending on your choice (Thanks to @Cesar82 for making it DSG compatible)
- You can have as many AppExes (currently 4) and Data files
- You can have upto 50 Redist, 50 Additional Component and 50 Languages files each. Limited because I don't want anyone to abuse the resources but if you want to increase the capacity more, check here
- No need to make any changes to the script at all. The Installer.ini file inside the 'Game' folder supports everything, even Data, Redist, Component and Languages
- Play Page to directly play your game by selecting AppExe from installer
- Watch Game Trailer during installation.
- More Installer Upgrades

Benefits of the installer:
- Separate .iss to read the installer script.
- Code Optimized rendering of SidePanel component and Tab
- Code Optimized rendering of Redist, Component and Language creation
- Code Optimized for Shortcut Creation
- Code Optimized for Data, Component and Language file decompression
- Code Optimized for Post Install Redist Installation
- Script is independent of changes in number of max Data, Redist or additional component count. You can have as many as UI can support
- Better Error Handling
- Fixed a bug where missing Data File still proceeded with Installation.
- Variant of style.bin for FCheckbox (Thanks to @AgentV)

Check out the Automate folder for:
- MD5 verification of your files
- Automatically creating the .iss for importing list of Tools
- Automatically creating the .iss for extracting required tools during decompression

What is DSG (DiskSpan) compatibility?
The infamous DiskSpan compressor has been made compatible with this installer. Whether or not your compression was done using DSG, you can still extract your Data Files by:
Copying the Setup.dll in the Unpack > Decomp_DSG Folder

In case you don't know the compression method, open your Data#.bin with FreeArc and go to "INFO" > "Solid Blocks" tab to know exactly the name of the methods used.
Within the "Setup DLL" tab of the DSG, access the "Maker" sub-tab and paste the methods one on each line. Example:

xtool:mzlib+srep+lolz
xtool:bk2
xtool:mkraken:core_2.9.2

You can uncheck the split and diskspan checkboxes at the bottom of the window and click Create to create the Setup.dll file.
More Info DiskSpan GUI

PS: User also has an option to choose if they want to extract using their tools or DSG. In case they opt to choose their tools, they can put their files inside Unpack > Decomp_Custom > Tools.
And run, Automate > Create Tools List.bat and Create Tools Init.bat

This installer will have more upgrade if these pending requests are fulfilled.

Hi. Can you add function for search game folder and regedit. If game already installed, delete files

You can check from this project

I reported an issue here of why search folder can't be implemented. The reason, I had to go with this approach, both in Steam as well as Epic Games.

If you want to put it inside the subfolder, you can edit the text in directory box as well.

Regedit is working, I verified.
If the game is already installed then the user will only have the option to play which is standard UI in Steam. I can put a button to uninstall, but the question is where?

[demon964]

you can add droplist like this for uninstall game






also have problem with windows 7 low end PC. When i run setup (DIsk spn gui used) after 20-30 % cant unpack files. I think fitgirl added maximum 2gb ram usage. its same problem

I'll try, maybe I can put it at the finish page, instead of that disabled download info button. Will keep you posted.

These installer really are CPU intensive so I recommend using W10 or above for installation. I cannot guarantee that I'd implement 2GB RAM support for low end PCs, but if I get some time, I'd like to learn how to do it. Would implement it in my next project then.

Beautiful, cozy, with rounded edges, it will not offend you.
- doesn't it just look like a Googol installer?
- no, it seemed to you.

Hey guys, im not so familiar with the checking thing that some installers have, like for example in fitgirl repacks, she give the options to check if some of the files were installed properly, and there is another thing that checks the hash/sha1 or something like that, i don't really have any knowledge about that "checking" stuff, can anyone guide me about this and also how do i add this feature to the installer, im still using Vesta installer.

Also one more thing, i just need to know how to make .nfo files like all the scenes, what software of what do they use to create it. Thanks to all in advanced!

I will help you with checking the hash sum of the files if you already have a project started. it is possible to create an nfo file with this program (I did not use it)

Thanks audiofeel, right now my main focus is on building my own type of installer (design wise) using the Vesta installer as the base, since that is the simplest coding i can understand and well put together. And adding some features i like from other installers, I will only focus on repacking after i finish coding the installer, it takes me a day to just code a single button xD

Sorry because earlier i wasn't clear enough, what i wanted to know about the "checking" thing, that checks if all files are present or missing or bad, like the one from Steam Limitless installer, there's a tab where it checks if all the files needed is present. which part of the code is responsible? thanks

As for the NFO creator, the one you shared works great, then after more curiosity i found another NFO creator here: https://nfo-creator.informer.com/3.5/
both of them works good!

This is what my installer looks like now, this is vesta installer but i just designed it differently (the game and info is all decoys, i haven't repack anything yet).
