profdracula Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Hi, sometime ago, I got inspired by the Installer of the game: VietCong II. So, I have coded a custom installer for apps. Its not complete yet- some more features that I would add are; Region-able main window and buttons, masked about window, masked images as progressbar, support for installation using multiple CDs etc. The release I am posting here, is just a preview: its not fully functional yet. One more thing; I have coded a ShellTreeView like TShellTreeView of Delphi, but it might be buggy sometimes. Your suggestions, bug-reports and feedback are of immense importance. So plz let me know of your ideas and findings.Prof. DrAcULA }:-)pd_Installer.rar Edited February 17, 2009 by profdracula Link to comment
mudlord Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Looks quite nice....Is there a possibility for RAR/ACE/7-zip support instead of ZLIB?Not to mention, could the assets stay in the main executable, instead of a seperate DLL? Link to comment
0xFF Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 That's very nice project, you should keep working on it, it's good to exercise with Delphi too. Link to comment
profdracula Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Thx 4 the feedback guys! Hi mudlord, (could the assets stay in the main executable, instead of a seperate DLL): well the basic idea for coding this installer was to have a executable (EXE) which will handle all the graphic/non-graphic operations of installer, and all the graphix or the window color schemes will be available in a separate DLL, which will be different for every new installation, so that you don't have to code the same executable again, only you'll design the new interface/color-schemes/graphix and create a new dll of that. and, Rot1, this installer is coded in pure Win32Asm (masm32), only the functionality of a Delphi-component is imitated. Keeps the ideas coming Edited February 24, 2009 by profdracula Link to comment
mudlord Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Oh okay, sounds fair....Reminds me of the installers Class/Razor1911/Myth used to do in the old days.... Link to comment
