Version 0.8.6
Bugfix: Calculate file size for installation

Some problems with calculating all subdirectory sizes.

Version 0.8.7
- Bitmap: Completely changed to be more compatible (internal use of BMP)
- New additional program 'CheckAdmin.exe'(...\InstProgs\): Check for administrator rights

PS: EasySetup seems to work with Win Vista (short test on a Vista PC)

Hi Thorsten,

a small problem. I have a 120 MB installation which, when run, works flawlessly. However, prior to the installation, it reports that only 19.2 MB of disk space is required!

This isn't a problem for me except that, because this package replaces a 100 MB installation on my customer's machines, many non-computer savvy customers are refusing to delete the original files and run the new installation because they think there's a problem.

Any chance you might have a quick look at your code?

Thanks.

Which version of EasySetup do you use?
This problem should be fixed since version 0.8.6.

Ah yes, I used 0.8.5 to create the install!

Updating now...

(Unfortunately, the particular install takes over an hour to create!)

Thanks.



**EDIT



Doh!

My aplogies for being an arse!

Use the ZIP-format for big programs! JCalG1 compress very slowly, but unpacks quick and the archive is smaller.

I can't use the zip format because the install is password protected through a user defined task running a small program of mine.

I don't mind the time it takes to create the install as I only have to recreate the package very infrequently anyhow.

I don't know EasySetup well but iirc it uses PureZIP in ZIP mode, and PureZIP supports passwords.

I'm not sure if EasySetup supports zip passwords, but they are not secure enough for my purposes anyhow.

EasySetup supports no passwords yet, but it should be possible, because I use PureZip.

Update
New language added: Swedish (Thanks to 'Mahmoud Nasser')

Version 0.8.9
Bugfix: Problems with path of 'EasySetup.ini' (new shortcuts without working directory)
Usertasks: parameter for external programs possible

Version 0.9.0
New path variables: %Emergency% , %Aurora%

Nice one!



How do you pass such a parameter Thorsten? I've had a look through the help manual but can't find anything.

Thanks.

Add it to the selected file: "Test.exe /Q"
(All after '.exe ' will be cut as parameters)
