It is possible to change name only of .bin files and left setup as a setup.exe?
I mean:
setup.exe
data1.bin
data2.bin
etc...
No it's not possible.
Both .exe and .bin output file names are based on OutputBaseFilename.

I want to extract a ZIP File with the .exe inside.
I want to execute the .exe inside the Zip to extract the Zip File.
Already tried it by executing: ZipDLL::extractall "$EXEDIR" "$DESTINATION"
I think that does not work, cause the .exe is stored in the TEMP Folder when opened, so it cannot find the.Zip file
So how do I extract that Zip when executing the .exe from inside the Zip?
Thanks for answers!
Your question does not make a lot of sense, you should just put the files inside the installer and not have a zip file at all.
Even if it made sense, it is not possible because where a exe is executed from when you double click it inside a zip file depends on the zip program you are using and there is no way of getting the path of the zip it was extracted from.
If for some reason you want to be able to update the files inside the zip file without rebuilding the installer you can use a cab file instead. The CabX plug-in supports extracting from cab files appended to the installer exe.
How to change names, extensions and locations of setup-*.bin (Inno Setup internal compression archive file)
Default archive location: {src}
Location where I want: {src}\Data (Data is a folder.)
There are many way to change the output folder and base file name here are a few:
In inno setup
[Setup]
OutputDir={userdocs}\Data({userdocs}means my document,change this if you want another folder)
To change Output Base File name that is setup-*.bin in your case
[Setup]
OutputBaseFilename=setup(change setup to any name)
To change the size of setup-*.binyou can use
[Setup]
DiskSpanning=true
DiskSliceSize=2000000000(as your preference).
{src} is nothing but a directory constants which mean
"The directory in which the Setup files are located".
PS: If you want to create script for inno setup you can use ISTool instead then use the script in inno setup.
Thanks if you like my answer then accepted it.
By the setup-*.bin, I assume you refer to output files resulting from disk spanning. I do not know what "Inno Setup internal compression archive file" is.
Default location for Inno Setup output files is not {src} (it wouldn't make sense) but subfolder "Output" under the directory containing the script."
You can change this using OutputDir directive.
Quoting Inno Setup documentation:
Specifies the "output" directory for the script, which is where the Setup Compiler will place the resulting SETUP.* files. By default, it creates a directory named "Output" under the directory containing the script for this.
I downloaded an iso which contains the files
setup.exe
setup-1.bin
setup-2.bin
It fails to install by executing the setup.exe so I analyzed it with innoextract, which opens just setup-1.bin but not setup-2.bin. Can I manually decompress the .bin files or modify the setup.exe? If yes, how can I do that?
I think the second bin file is just corrupted, so i'm unable to extract it.
That is the reason why Inno Setup cannot continue in installation.
I think this is an answer - you simply need to download the installer again.
The Sublime2 build files are located at \Sublime Text2\Packages\ folder, but I cannot figure out where Sublime3 put those files. Can anyone give me some help?
Language.sublime-build files (and everything else that used to be under the Packages/Language hierarchy) are now included in the zipped Language.sublime-package files found in Sublime Text Build 3XXX/Packages/. I haven't found an obvious way to edit these files in a cross-platform-consistent manner, so the easiest thing is to unzip the .sublime-package file into a folder named for that language, then move the folder to the Sublime Text Build 3XXX/Data/Packages/ folder. As I understand it, any file in Data/Packages/Language will overrule whatever is contained in the corresponding Packages/Language.sublime-package file.
EDIT
For Windows installations (not unzipped portable installs) use the C:\Users\YourNameHere\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages folder. The Users subdirectory in this folder is where all your user-specific preferences, keymaps, build systems, etc. go, similar to the Packages\User directory in ST2. So, if you want to unzip and modify the Python.sublime-package file, for example, unzip it into AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Python and you'll be all set, as I described above.
CLARIFICATION
The Packages directory is the one opened when selecting Preferences → Browse Packages…:
Linux: ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages or ~/.config/sublime-text/Packages
OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages or ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text/Packages
Windows Regular Install: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages or C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text\Packages
Windows Portable Install: InstallationFolder\Sublime Text 3\Data\Packages InstallationFolder\Sublime Text\Data\Packages
The exact path depends on version and whether or not you upgraded from Sublime Text 3.
Also, instead of manually unzipping .sublime-package files, just use the excellent PackageResourceViewer utility. It does exactly what I described above without the hassle.
On OS X, ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/User works for me.
Just in case someone runs into the same prob on a Mac and can't find the file:
I was trying to find this on a new Mac to edit my compass.sublime-build file, but couldn't find the folder. To look in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/... you have to press and hold the Option key to see the folders in bold, since it's all hidden folders.
Hope that helps someone.
Bit of a crazy workaround, but if you create a new build system, then when you save the file, you have access to the relevant folder. Before saving, you can drag unwanted files to the rubbish bin, and ones you want to read can be dragged to the file system icon in the launcher and placed somewhere where they can then be opened.
I did a search for sublime-build and heres what I got:
So for Windows, the directory for Sublime Text 3 is:
C:\Users\horse\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User
and the Python build for Sublime 2 for example is located here:
C:\Users\horse\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\Python
On Linux, this is the folder you which contains .sublime-build files that you created under Tools > New build System.
/home/<username>/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User
If you are using Ubuntu then you can find your previously build files in
/home/your_user_name/.config/sublime-text/Packages/User
.config is a hidden directory, make sure you press control + h so that you can view all the hidden files and folders
I am writting a NSIS-script for installs of the programs and put into folder. The folder is zipped via NSIS. I want, that someone clicks once the zip-file and it will be unzipped and executed the NSIS-script into folder. But how?
Update: I explain again. NSIS has the compiler for NSIS script and Installer based on ZIP! Firstly, I write a NSIS script to install some programs in a folder. Executing the NSIS script is working! I dont want to send the folder, but I want to send only one file. So I am using the Installer based on ZIP to zip the folder. But if I click the zipped file, it will be unzipped on desktop without executing the NSIS script into folder. So I have to click the NSIS script into folder. That I dont want! I want to click only on zipped file and it will be unzipped and executed automatically the NSIS script. Clearly?
.zip files cannot execute code.
NOTE: The ZIP2EXE NSIS tool uses makensis internally, it is just a helper application that creates simple installers.
Your question is confusing, but I believe that what you want to do is create a self extracting archive that contains multiple files and run and NSIS installer contained in that archive it is unpacked.
You can do this with 7zip.
It's easiest to do this with a dos batch file. Open notepad and create "selfinstall.bat"
Add the following;
(
ECHO ;!#Install#!UTF-8!
ECHO Title="My Installer"
ECHO BeginPrompt="Do you want to run the installer?"
ECHO ExecuteFile="Setup.exe"
ECHO ;!#InstallEnd#!
) > temp.$$$
This sets up the information that the self extracter needs such as it's title (My Installer) and the name of the executable to run (Setup.exe)
Then, add the lines to create your zip file
7z a -r files.7z myfolder
where myfolder is the name of the folder that has all the files.
Now, add the installer - Make sure that the installer (Setup.exe) is in the root of the .7z file
7z a files.7z Setup.exe
Then, copy the self extracter and the 7z to a single executable file
copy /b 7z.sfx + temp.$$$ + files.7z "Install.exe"
Then delete your temp files
del files.7z
del temp.$$$
I adapted this from a script I saw here; http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=18845
For more information on the .SFX modules see here; http://7zsfx.info/en/
There's also a sourceforge project for a GUI to accomplish this; http://sourceforge.net/projects/sfx-maker/
