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.

A simple example for those who require multilingualism in the installer, with support for up to 6 different languages. The basic installer consists of three pages, based on the Battle.
Custom radiobutton - FRadiantCheck

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

The design has been slightly changed, the pages are made on the FTABCONTROL. Custom switches.

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).

@CrownRepack
A great result and a delight for perfectionists. When you have the "Check Files" button or verification page ready, please send me the installation script. Discussing what needs to be added and other details will take up a lot of space and time.

If this is the original design, looks very good. In Steam Limitless, if you want to know what part of code is responsible for Verify Files button, just search with 'Verify' keyword.

The procedure for verification is called 'VerifyHashMultiCallback' in Script > Procedures.iss. I put this as other .iss outside the script so that I can reuse them in other repacks that I'd be working on future, like Epic Games.

This file is imported under [Files] section, which is editable in notepad and populated using certain commands in cmd prompt, if you want to skip third party app.
Source: "Game\Hash_setup.md5"; DestDir: "{tmp}"; Flags: dontcopy;
To automatically populate this file, you can use MD5 Verification.bat in Automate folder. It automatically verifies the file

If you want to know anything else from my installers, let me know. Happy to help!

Thank you, yes im more of a perfectionist myself (Willem Dafoe meme reference lol)

yes you're right it will take time and space, it will take me months to finally finish coding this installer as i only do it after i get home from work, and sometimes never. So once im done i will be back here to seek for help about the Check Files feature.
