2.i need you to tell me what's the best compression ratio for internal installation i now use this

Compression=lzma2/ultra64
;ExtraDiskSpaceRequired={#ExtraNeedSize}
LZMADictionarySize=65536
CompressionThreads=3
LZMANumFastBytes=273
SolidCompression=yes
LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes

is this the best of it?

3. after game installed if i run the dvd again it doesn't detect that the game is installed meaning that the play button is not active why is that? the game i try to install doesn't have key in registry by default so i create a simple key for it have a look on it

[Registry]
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\THQ\DoW2 CR"; ValueName: UninstallString; ValueData: {uninstallexe}; ValueType: string; Flags: UninsDeleteKey;

is that right? or i have to do something else?

that's all for now

thanks for advise

1. It could be encode error

2. yes, lzma2/ultra 64 is the strongest compression for internal setups

3. Because INNO has it's own regkeys so it will detect that game is not installed, that's normal.

And like i stated in tutorial, DO NOT play with Subkey.

In every case, subkey will look like this:

Code:
Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\{code:GetAppPublisher}\{code:GetAppName}"...

ok new question i will use external compressor but i still need the command line for compress a folder that contains a lot of sub-folders
so what to write ? cause if i wrote the path for it followed by \. it compress the contents but not the folders -files only- i need to know what code to write so it compress not just the files in the main game folder but also the folders in it which surly contains data
here is what i did

arc a -ep -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "%choice1%\*" -x"%choice1%\GameAssets"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail

this will exclude GameAssets folder and should compress every thing else but it only compress the other files in the main folder but not the other folders

thanks for advise

You have to separate bin files for each folder. You cant compress 2 folder and it's contents i believe.

you'll use -r, -x, -n values between lc8 and ''choice1 in my TDU2 conversion.

If you used BAMSE's, the one i gave in tutorial thread, you'll use them instead -w.

So, both of bat files are different. I suggest to start from BAMSE's, so make thing easier as beginning.

Code:

For test, with fake files:
