I didn't understand the version of XTool you used.

As you have already compressed the game, the same compressor/decompressor (or similar) must be used to decompress the game.
Maybe you can use Light Installer Script 1.0.0.7 and define the compressors you used in COMPRESSOR_GUI.exe.
You may need to replace the XTool exes with the one you used for compression (testing only).
If you can recompress the game you can use the latest "Light Installer Script v1.0.0.8".

I'll try it out, thanks

Does anyone know any way to send a text from one Inno Setup executable to another?
Similar to the SendMessage function.

Is there any way to use WM_COPYDATA with SendMessage in Inno Setup?
It is not possible to configure WindowProc without pointers in innoSetup (It is not possible to type for TCopyDataStruct).

I've a problem. How to fix this?

Example:

Code:

Load.ini

[Form]
; Language
cache1=En_us
; Position: X
cache2=$DeskWidth$ - 95%
; Position: Y
cache3=$DeskHeight$ - 90%
; Form Width
cache4=450
; Form Height
cache5=450
; Form Border
cache6=no
 
cache7, cache8, ...

Code:

Test.iss

{Code]
#define public i
#define public FCacheMax 26
#dim public FCache[5]

#sub CheckFCache
  #define FCache[i] ReadIni(AddBackSlash(SourcePath)	+ "load.ini", "Form", StringChange("cacheInt","Int", Str(i)), "")
#endsub
#if ReadIni(AddBackSlash(SourcePath)	+ "load.ini", "Form", "cache1", "") != ""
  #redim FCache[Int(FCacheMax)]
  #for {i = 1; ReadIni(AddBackSlash(SourcePath)	+ "load.ini", "Form", StringChange("cacheInt","Int", Str(i)), "") !=""; i++} CheckFCache
#endif

function InitializeSetup(): Boolean;
begin
  MsgBox('{#FCache[1]}', mbConfirmation, MB_OK);
end;

Cesar82 · #**1445** 18-03-2021, 03:58

Change the lines:

Code:

#define public FCache[i] ReadIni(...
...

#redim public FCache[Int(FCacheMax)]

Thanks @Cesar82, it works.

I know there's an if/else but is there an if/else for ifdef?

Example:

Code:

#define example

#ifdef example
     ExtractTemporaryFile('def.txt')
#else
     ExtractTemporaryFile('notdef.txt')
#endif

Would that work?

KaktoR · #**1448** 28-03-2021, 00:54

Yes there is

Yes. For ISPP there is more than one way to use ELSE like:

Code:

#define example 5

#if defined(example)
  #if Example == 5
     ExtractTemporaryFile('def5.txt')
  #elif Example == 4
      ExtractTemporaryFile('def4.txt')
  #elif Example == 3
     ExtractTemporaryFile('def3.txt')
  #elif Example == 2
      ExtractTemporaryFile('def2.txt')
  #elif Example == 1
      ExtractTemporaryFile('def1.txt')
  #else
      ExtractTemporaryFile('def.txt')
  #endif
#else
     ExtractTemporaryFile('notdef.txt')
#endif

P.S: elif = else if

Hello everyone, I am trying to add a progress bar to a script.

Code:

  Progress:= TNewProgressBar.Create(WizardForm);
  with Progress do 
  begin
  Parent := WizardForm;
  SetBounds(10, 150, 200, 0);
  Max:=1000;
  end;

Code:

function ProgressCallback(OveralPct,CurrentPct: integer;CurrentFile,TimeStr1,TimeStr2,TimeStr3:PAnsiChar): longword;
begin
  if OveralPct <=1000 then Progress.Position := OveralPct;
  Result := ISDoneCancel;
end;

Code:

if CurPageID = wpInstalling then
  begin
  ExtractTemporaryFile('unarc.dll')
  Progress.Show;
  DesktopIconCheckBox.Enabled := false;
  WizardForm.DirEdit.Hide;
  WizardForm.DirBrowseButton.Hide;
  ISDoneCancel:= 0
  ISDoneError := true;
  if ISDoneInit(ExpandConstant('{src}\records.inf'), $F777, 0, 0, 0, MainForm.Handle, 512, @ProgressCallback) then begin
    ChangeLanguage('English')
    begin
      repeat
        if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{src}\*.arc'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, '', '', ExpandConstant('{app}'), false) then break;
        ISDoneError := false;
      until true;
        ISDoneStop;
      end; 
    end;
  end;

These above code snippets all are the code for the progress bar

I'm not entirely sure why the progress bar isn't showing up during installation.

I click "Install" to trigger wpInstalling.
THe directory box and the browse button disappear and the desktop icon checkbox is frozen. However, the progress bar does not appear.

Why could this be? Thanks!

Maybe it's because you set Parent = WizardForm.
If you are a native installer, the parent should be the wpInstalling page.

If you are an installer that uses the native interface, try setting the ProgressBar Parent to:

Code:

Parent: = WizardForm.ProgressGauge.Parent;
or 
Parent: = WizardForm.InstallingPage;

because you didn't give height value SetBounds(10, 150, 200, 40);//(l,t,w,h)

Is there any way I can use ExtractTemporaryFile with the * wildcard?

Currently I have this:

Code:

[Files]
Source: Include\*; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy

However, how can I extract all of the files included above to {tmp} without manually specifiying everything (since I'm trying to desing the code so that anything in the Include folder will be extracted to {tmp})?

[Files]
Source: {#Resources}; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy

[Code]
function InitializeSetup:boolean;
begin
  #define FHandle
  #define FRst
  #define Mask Resources
  #sub ProcessFiles
  #define FileName FindGetFileName(FHandle)
  ExtractTemporaryFile('{#FileName}');
  #endsub
  #for {FHandle = FRst = FindFirst(Mask, 0); FRst; FRst = FindNext(FHandle)} ProcessFiles
  Result:=True;
end;

For not so old versions of Inno Setup you can use:

Code:

[Files]
Source: Include\*; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy

[ code]
function InitializeSetup(): Boolean;
begin
  ExtractTemporaryFiles('{tmp}\*.*');
  Result := True;
end;

If you use @files: in the path of any of the DLL functions they will be extracted automatically before the InitializeSetup function.
So I recommend you change to {tmp} in the DLL functions, or specify a destination other than {tmp} for them using the dontcopy flag.

Code:

function ISArcExtract(CurComponent: Cardinal; PctOfTotal:double; InName, OutPath, ExtractedPath: AnsiString; DeleteInFile: Boolean; Password, CfgFile, WorkPath: AnsiString; ExtractPCF: boolean ):boolean; external '[email protected]files:ISDone.dll stdcall delayload';

change to:

function ISArcExtract(CurComponent: Cardinal; PctOfTotal:double; InName, OutPath, ExtractedPath: AnsiString; DeleteInFile: Boolean; Password, CfgFile, WorkPath: AnsiString; ExtractPCF: boolean ):boolean; external '[email protected]{tmp}\ISDone.dll stdcall delayload';
