I have a problem and I need your help..I want to find a differente way to put a transparent splash screen or the correction of my code. The code here works... but there is a problem, some people get an error at the end of the installation.
This is how look the error at the end of the installation
I check another lines in my code and I found that the problem was the code of the splash screen, if I delete it the installer works perfect, I see that what I need is a procedure DeinitializeSetup(); but I don't know how tu put it in the splash screen section, I get this kind of error if I delete the procedure DeinitializeSetup(); in another codes, like skin, logo, etc.. the files that goes to temp folder of windows... then what I need is the procedure DeinitializeSetup(); in the splash screen code to solve this... :( here is the dll file for anyone to test IsUtilsHb.dll
then...please if anybody know a different way to put a transparent splash screen... ill be grateful.. or better.. to fix this code section :)
[setup]
AppName=Slash PNG
AppVerName=1.0
DefaultDirName={pf}\program
[Languages]
Name: "spanish"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\Spanish.isl"
[Files]
Source: IsUtilsHb.dll; DestDir: {app}; Flags: dontcopy
Source: SplashScreen.png; DestDir: {app}; Flags: dontcopy
[Code]
function SplashScreen(hWnd: Integer; pathPng: String; nSleep: Integer): Integer;
external 'SplashScreen#files:IsUtilsHb.dll stdcall';
procedure InitializeWizard();
var
SplashFileName: string;
begin
SplashFileName := ExpandConstant('{tmp}\SplashScreen.png');
ExtractTemporaryFile('SplashScreen.png');
SplashScreen(StrToInt(ExpandConstant('{hwnd}')), SplashFileName, 5000);
end;
After looking all around the internet, I got this solution:
This is the DLL am using:
isgsg.dll
[setup]
AppName=Slash PNG
AppVerName=1.0
DefaultDirName={pf}\program
[Languages]
Name: "spanish"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\Spanish.isl"
Source: "Splash.png"; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: ignoreversion dontcopy nocompression
Source: isgsg.dll; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: ignoreversion dontcopy nocompression
[Code]
procedure ShowSplashScreen(p1:HWND;p2:string;p3,p4,p5,p6,p7:integer;p8:boolean;p9:Cardinal;p10:integer); external 'ShowSplashScreen#files:isgsg.dll stdcall delayload';
procedure InitializeWizard();
begin
ExtractTemporaryFile('Splash.png');
ShowSplashScreen(WizardForm.Handle,ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Splash.png'),1000,3000,1000,0,255,True,$FFFFFF,10);
end;
Just added:
ShowSplashScreen(WizardForm.Handle,ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Splash.png'),1000,3000,1000,0,255,True,$FFFFFF,10);
Interpretation:
ShowSplashScreen(WizardForm.Handle,ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Splash.png'),1000(appear time),3000(show time),1000(disappear time),0(like a intermittent reload time),255(transparency 0..255),True,$FFFFFF (transparency color if not png transp),10);
like a intermittent reload time = use 9999999 and you see like a thunder image

I try to make a setup wizard with InnoSetup software to deploy easily my program but I encounter currently a problem with my script.
I am used to make basic setup wizard but now I have to implement a new functionality whose :
I want to check if a file exist on the computer to not overwrite it.
I made like this (in the [files] section):
[Files]
Source: "{#MyAppExeFile}"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion
Source: "{#MyAppSrcFolder}*"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs
Source: "{#MyAppSrcFolder}FileFolder\testFile.py"; DestDir: "D:\Users\{username}\myFolderTest\"; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs;Check: needInstallFile(ExpandConstant('{username}'))
And i added this following [code] section:
[code]
function needInstallFile(user : string) : Boolean;
begin
if IsTaskSelected('initFile') then begin
if FileExists('D:\Users\' + user + '\myFolderTest\testFile.py') then begin
MsgBox('The file already exist', mbInformation, MB_OK);
Result:=False;
exit;
end else begin
Result:=True;
exit;
end;
end;
end;
When i compile my code, it's work but if the file already exist, i have three popup (and not just one like i would want to have). I DON'T understand despite my researches on Internet.
If you have a lead to help me, I'm interested because i'm stuck.
Thank you in advance for your help.
PS : Sorry for my English, i am unfortunatly a french guy.

I am trying to use the idea from Inno Setup - How to hide certain filenames while installing? (FilenameLabel)
The only sure solution is to avoid installing the files, you do not want to show, using the [Files] section. Install them using a code instead. Use the ExtractTemporaryFile and FileCopy functions
But the files that I want to hide are using in the [Run] Section:
[Files]
Source: "_Redist\DXWebSetup.exe"; DestDir: "{tmp}"; Flags: deleteafterinstall
[Run]
Filename: "{tmp}\DXWebSetup.exe"; Components: DirectX; StatusMsg: "Installing DirectX..."; \
BeforeInstall: StartWaitingForDirectXWindow; AfterInstall: StopWaitingForDirectXWindow
How to hide (while installing, in filenamelabel) using [Files] section, ExtractTemporaryFile and FileCopy functions?
The easiest is to give up on the standard [Files] and [Run] sections and code everything on your own in the CurStepChanged event fuction:
[Files]
Source: "dxwebsetup.exe"; Flags: dontcopy
[Code]
procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
var
ProgressPage: TOutputProgressWizardPage;
ResultCode: Integer;
begin
if CurStep = ssInstall then { or maybe ssPostInstall }
begin
if IsComponentSelected('DirectX') then
begin
ProgressPage := CreateOutputProgressPage('Installing prerequsities', '');
ProgressPage.SetText('Installing DirectX...', '');
ProgressPage.Show;
try
ExtractTemporaryFile('dxwebsetup.exe');
StartWaitingForDirectXWindow;
Exec(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\dxwebsetup.exe'), '', '', SW_SHOW,
ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);
finally
StopWaitingForDirectXWindow;
ProgressPage.Hide;
end;
end;
end;
end;
This even gives you a chance to check for results of the sub-installer. And you can e.g. prevent the installation from continuing, when the sub-installer fails or is cancelled.
Then it's easier to use the PrepareToInstall instead of the CurStepChanged.
Another option is to display a custom label, while extracting the sub-installer.
See Inno Setup - How to create a personalized FilenameLabel with the names I want?
I'm trying to add VCL styles (Inno Setup 5.5.6 (a)) for my installer. Style load correctly during the installation, but when I try to uninstall I get an error
Runtime Error(at-1:0): Cannot Import dll:VclStylesInno.dll.
And I can not uninstall my program.
Does anyone know what I can do?
Thanks for the help
#define VCLStylesSkinPath "{localappdata}\VCLStylesSkin"
[Files]
;Install
Source: "VclStylesinno.dll"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: dontcopy
Source: "Styles\Auric.vsf"; DestDir: "{app}"; Flags: dontcopy
;Uninstall

[Code]
{ Import the LoadVCLStyle function from VclStylesInno.DLL }
procedure LoadVCLStyle(VClStyleFile: String);
external 'LoadVCLStyleA#files:VclStylesInno.dll stdcall setuponly';
procedure LoadVCLStyle_UnInstall(VClStyleFile: String);
external 'LoadVCLStyleA#VclStylesInno.dll stdcall uninstallonly';
{ Import the UnLoadVCLStyles function from VclStylesInno.DLL }
procedure UnLoadVCLStyles;
external 'UnLoadVCLStyles#files:VclStylesInno.dll stdcall setuponly';
procedure UnLoadVCLStyles_UnInstall;
external 'UnLoadVCLStyles#VclStylesInno.dll stdcall uninstallonly';
function InitializeUninstall: Boolean;
begin
Result := True;
LoadVCLStyle_UnInstall(ExpandConstant('Styles\Auric.vsf'));
end;
procedure DeinitializeUninstall();
begin
UnLoadVCLStyles_UnInstall;
end;
You are not specifying a path to the uninstall copy of the VclStylesInno.dll.
This is the correct way:
procedure LoadVCLStyle_UnInstall(VClStyleFile: String);
external 'LoadVCLStyleA#{#VCLStylesSkinPath}\VclStylesInno.dll stdcall uninstallonly';
Next time, just follow the official instructions for uninstalling the VCL Styles for Inno Setup.
For more details and maybe even a better solution than the official one, see also Load external DLL for uninstall process in Inno Setup.
Under the task section I have
[Tasks]
Name: "desktopicon"; Description: "{cm:CreateDesktopIcon}"; \
GroupDescription: "{cm:AdditionalIcons}"; Flags: unchecked
Name: "installFolder"; Description: "Install project folder."; \
GroupDescription:" folder";
and in the Files section is this particular folder
Source: "C:\\Output\LEA\*.*"; DestDir: {code:GetDataDir}; \
Flags: createallsubdirs recursesubdirs ignoreversion;
My aim is to test the for the checked button and then have a window to ask for the directory to install the folder to.
if WizardForm.TasksList.Checked[3] then
GetDataDir;
Can this be done without the need to create pages or the one page to get the directory?
Also, is this a good way to handle extra files that are optional and will be installed to a different location than the default {app} location?
The confusing part for me thus far is when it's all compiled, the GetDataDir is being called before the page to select Tasks. So I choose my directory and then I'm asked whether I want to install it or not. I don't know how to go about getting the GetDataDir to occur afterwards.
The wizard model in Inno Setup means you should always create the wizard pages, but you can skip the ones that don't need to be shown.
This can be done in the ShouldSkipPage() event function by calling IsTaskSelected():
function ShouldSkipPage(PageID: Integer): Boolean;
begin
if (PageID = InstallFolderPage.ID) and not IsTaskSelected('installFolder') then
Result := True
else
Result := False
end;
In this case, with only a single check, it can be shortened to:
function ShouldSkipPage(PageID: Integer): Boolean;
begin
Result := (PageID = InstallFolderPage.ID) and not IsTaskSelected('installFolder')
end;
As TLama said, you don't need to do anything special in the {code:...} functions, just return the appropriate value directly.
You simply need to add '; Tasks: installFolder' at the end of your Source... line, then it won't be called unless the task as been selected.
Source: "C:\\Output\LEA\*.*"; DestDir: {code:GetDataDir}; Flags: createallsubdirs recursesubdirs ignoreversion; Tasks: installFolder
My program installs fine in my computer, which has ISSkin installed. I tried then to install my program in a different computer that has not got ISSkin installed and I get this message upon installation : "Runtime error (at -1:0): Cannot import dll:c:\Folder00\ISSkin.dll".
I searched on the net but nothing so far. I have the following code in my INNO:
[Files]
Source: "c:\Folder00\ISSkin.dll"; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy; Attribs: hidden system
[Code]
procedure LoadSkin(lpszPath: String; lpszIniFileName: String); external 'LoadSkin#c:\Folder00\ISSkin.dll cdecl';
procedure UnloadSkin();
external 'UnloadSkin#c:\Folder00\ISSkin.dll cdecl'
Im am using a *.cjstyles skin for the innosetup. I changed from STDCALL to CDECL but to no avail. Has anyone had this problem and how it can be solved?
You're extracting the dll to temporary files but trying to load it from some 'c:\folder00\', which most probably won't exist in the target computer.
Follow the example on the product page and you'll be fine. Relevant pieces from the linked example:
[Files]
Source: ISSkin.dll; DestDir: {app}; Flags: dontcopy
Source: Office2007.cjstyles; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy
[Code]
procedure LoadSkin(lpszPath: String; lpszIniFileName: String); external 'LoadSkin#files:isskin.dll stdcall';
function InitializeSetup(): Boolean;
begin
ExtractTemporaryFile('Office2007.cjstyles');
LoadSkin(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Office2007.cjstyles'), '');
Result := True;
end;
