INNO TROUBLESHOOT - Questions Here

[L33THAK0R]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if Inno Setup supports checksum parts/segments/other-name-here? A lot of my conversions have selective/optional .bins and I usually only supply the checksums for the "main" files, but was wondering if I could have multiple smaller checksum files for each component then splice these together to verify selected parts.

bat file - copy main.md5+selective.md5 new.md5

Damn, any idea where should i start to learn basic inno setup functions and stuff?

The name seems to have slipped my mind - can anyone help?

I know and have public versions there is "ISUtils.dll" (by Peterf1999) and also "Memo Console for Inno Setup" (Console.dll) (by BLACKFIRE69).
It has other libraries like cmdout.dll (by Ele) but I don't know if it's public.
I've also attached here an example using version without libraries.

RIGHT??

Yes, it wasn't a public Lib. I only use it on my personal projects. If anyone finds it useful, here it is.
Tested with: Inno 5.5.1.ee2(unicode) Enhanced and Inno 6.2.0(unicode).

Note: There're two separate libraries here. One is for Inno and the other is for Delphi.

@Ele, thanks your plugin works great in my tests. I tried the dll by BLACKFIRE69 however I could not get it to work.

Is there a way to stop my memo from echoing the same thing twice?

Currently I have it set to echo the file currently being extracted however this means it echoes the same file over and over again until it moves onto the next file.

Here's the current code:

function ProgressCallback(OveralPct, CurrentPct: Integer; CurrentFile, TimeStr1, TimeStr2, TimeStr3: PAnsiChar): LongWord;
var
  CurTick: DWORD;
begin
    Memo.Lines.Add('Unpacking: ' + CurrentFile);

I thought maybe I could make a temporary string variable and comparing it with the current file and if so, skip echoing the current file, I am interested if anyone has any thoughts on this.

Yes it it possible the way you thought on it. I remember this was the case in all your repacks and I wondered why you made it this way

However, I think there is a more easier way to do this. I guess one of our experts will answer you on this

if not Memo.Lines.IndexOf('Unpacking: ' + CurrentFile) > -1 then
Memo.Lines.Add('Unpacking: ' + CurrentFile);

Another option is to use it this way.
I don't know if the filenames are partially cut off or not.
Let's say you have 2 files with same names in somewhat similar paths then the second file will also be displayed.

Example:
1) Data1.bin destination {app}\bin
FileName = Bin32\File1.txt
FileName = Bin32\File2.txt
2) Data2.bin destination {app}\
FileName = Bin\Bin32\File1.txt
FileName = Bin\File3.txt

In this case there are similar names as long as it is not the same name as the previous line, it will be added.

if (Memo.Lines.Count = 0) or (CompareText(Memo.Lines.Strings[Memo.Lines.Count - 1], 'Unpacking: ' + CurrentFile) <> 0) then
  Memo.Lines.Add('Unpacking: ' + CurrentFile);

Idk if it works with Delphi XE 10 I guess. But my problem is the ISCmdInit doesn't support the latest version of Delphi XE because I'm using FMX.

Is there an inno library that support blake3 hashings? ISHash does MD5 but not Blake3.

[KaktoR]

Something like this?
https://github.com/namazso/OpenHashTab

Edit: Scratch it, it's just a shellext installer...

Maybe ask peterf if he got some spare time to add it into ishash

I didn't expect it before. the newest version of Inno Setup 6 was no longer code of Application.ProcessMessanges; Is there any similar this code?
