do you use yener90 CI/CIU or your own script?

[huavancuong098]

yes, I use them, add 1 problem when CI is used in the installation process runs too fast image unlike the yener90. I do not understand why this is so, is there a way to make late than never!

about your icon problem, i think that when you change your icon, windows explorer just no refresh thumbs in folder with script(if setup.exe have any icon, not standart) try to change icon, compile, and restart system, if problem will be solved, then you will know where is problem ,and try to change icon name and compile script, if will be error during compilation, then icon file is used in script.

Inno Setup Tutorial : Splash Video with InnoMediaPlayer Library

Ok guys...hope to be helpful

There was a little bug in previous version of Inno MediaPlayer library that prevents taking ownership of video frame by mouse click...

so I asked the @TLama ( author of Inno MediaPlayer library ) for splash video sample and then he/she noticed of underlying DLL bug and revised Inno MediaPlayer DLL and sample script...then credits goes to TLama...

so for some of you guys that want to have a video file as the SPLASH screen of your Inno Setup projects , without any need to external codec like CodecPack to be installed on user system ( it only needs DirectX to be installed , nothing more ) , follow this tutorial :

01 : Encode your favorite splash video with .WMV extension...doesnt matter which encoding tool...
02 : Download the attachment here...extract it & open the .iss script with UNICODE version of Inno Setup...this is mandatory , because Inno MediaPlayer library ONLY works with unicode version of Inno Setup...
03 : Script is very straightforward...you only need to change video file name or extension...YES ! it supports other video formats ( Based on DirectShow Technology ) , but in my personal touch , I strongly suggest you to use WMV for not having any specific trouble...but final decision is taken by you not me
04 : Also you can change VideoForm.Caption And MsgBox to explain your branding
05 : Both script & DLL library are revised recently to fully support video skip ability...Thanks to @TLama.
06 : If you want to embed this code into your personal script , you only need to handle code segments in " procedure InitializeWizard; " & " procedure DeinitializeSetup; " VERY carefully...

Goodluck guys & hope you enjoy it !

I also came across this kind of problem which is not really a problem at all.

your system is now used to the icon, that's all.

copy and paste icon, open icon using any graphic program like windows photo viewer to verify whether icon has changed or not, or just check file size using properties.



or restart pc to refresh icons.

Hello Razor, do you know if it's possible to use MM compression with srep?

[Razor12911]

sure, that is if arc.ini is set correctly.

I've seen it before, just search for mm in arc.ini and you'll find it. Freearc has many compression libraries

[danswano]

I did the exact search term and didn't find any :/
Can you point me?

[Razor12911]

hmm, maybe I saw mmzip. gimme the program and maybe I can figure out how it works.

It's made by the same freearc dev by the way.
