ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[Jiva newstone]

Just drag and drop the fg's archieve in the FREEARCWM.exe
It shows the what method fitgirl uses !

[WOliveira]

Can you use these methods in Ultra Arc?

[fatalerror1]

any clue how to solve this??


Just trying to make from this a small basic setup that i can use for anything with just changing name, HDDreqs, exe and redists without any graphical shanenigans but that supports Arc packed files+records ini

[KaktoR]

You did made a mistake with {cm:FinishLabel} i guess.

Which language you using for setup?

[fatalerror1]

i did nothing with it, aka leaved what was there ... so probably just english ... but maybe i commented out something i shouldnt

[KaktoR]

If you don't get it fixed, send me your files then.

[fatalerror1]

here (just the files i changed) ... didnt found whats the problem , seems like i has problems reading #Name from the ini or something

try Unicode Innosetup ;-)

Some observations (Kaktor will pobably gives you proper answers)
1) the basic design looks fugly https://imgur.com/a/X9Lif
... you might wanna create some fine looking "blank" one or tr to mess with the code a bit more
2) While installing it gets some "proc errors" https://i.imgur.com/yc2l1Oi.png but it installs when you click ok and on finish page gets same "proc error"
3) some weird stuff happening when you click install https://imgur.com/a/11HFb

uninstall works flawlessly

[KaktoR]

Proc errors because:

1) the script was not made to disable images in Settings.ini (Background, Background2, Banner and Icon).

What you could do: Just crate 1x1 px black bitmap images.

Also in script don't disable images (WizardImageFile=, WizardSmallImageFile=).

If you want a non-image minimalistic installer, you could try out this: http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=99549

2) if you want to use UltraARC, just enable it by removing ; . Do not replace it with enabled DiskSpan define. In this case, DiskSpan is enabled too alongside with UltraARC, which gives you proc errors too (because there is no #define DiskSpan, so all #ifdef DiskSpan will be compiled too).

3) Weird stuff is a bug in script, will fix it soon.

[fatalerror1]

thx for info , will try to mess with it later on (might probably wait for fix for point 3) and will let you know

as for the minimalistic one thats a bit way too minimalistic ..

What i need is simple design where i can exchange project ćompileation really fast and do bunch of installers after each other with just small changes to the script aka just the Name, installDir, HDDsize,exe,icon + redists but also optionally if i want some basic graphics (like the small and big wizardimages) and optionally some kind of readme before install

Just an example for what i want it for :
... i have certain project but for each customer (there are like 50 slightly modified version) there are slight changes and small customizations which requires just small changes to the installer script , but design needs to be completely neutral installer look.

But also have couple highly customized versions which are planned to have readme in installer and images.

to be honest enough would be even just the standard innoDesign but with arc support
but i still think this script is basically what i need , i just need to figure out the basic changes to it for my needs ;-)

not sure if i follow , tried this with fe1's test script
How should this section look when i want to use UltraARC packed files???

#define UltraARC
;#define DiskSpan

gives same proc error even with all pictures enabled
and if i use

#define UltraARC
#define DiskSpan

i get this error https://i.imgur.com/E4jd6KW.png

[pakrat2k2]

^^ cant have BOTH #define Ultraarc & #Define DiskSpan left open like that, choose one & put ; infront of other.

[prudislav]

yeah i know , i guess just i got confused by Kaktor's wording .... will check properly tomorrow if i can solve the proc errors (still get them even if i fix stuff KaktoR said are wrong with fe1's script)

as for ASIS i still have the proc error problem same as prusilav in #163 (used all the pictures, in setting only ultraarc , but still nothing)
