InnoSetup MultiArc Addon

[deus-ex]

If there is an issue with my OS, I can't handle it and don't know the reason.

Maybe your download was incomplete or corrupted? You should try to redownload highlight-setup-4.0-x64.exe (9.421.308 Bytes) and verify its MD5-hash with the following command-line:

Code: Select all

c:\windows\system32\certutil.exe -hashfile highlight-setup-4.0-x64.exe MD5

My result:

Code: Select all

MD5 hash of highlight-setup-4.0-x64.exe:
22c89498752da0b92dcdef682de59d98
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

I don't say that password may be found for any installer. But there are some cases when it is available, e.g. when an installer is distributed password-protected and password is available for customers.

The reason why publishers password-protect their installer, most along with encryption, is to shield it from bots parsing the content and potentially trigger false malware alerts to antivirus sites. A case where the publisher would make the installer password public is not only rare, it is also counterproductive to the protection idea in the first place. A common customer does not require the password anyways, running a password-protected installer will install the content without user interaction regarding the password.


Now that we know that InnoUnp can extract any of the problematic Inno-Installers, and so does MultiArc with BatchUnpack set to '0', which makes the process obviously quite slow, is there anything you can do to improve the situation?

Now that we know that InnoUnp can extract any of the problematic Inno-Installers, and so does MultiArc with BatchUnpack set to '0', which makes the process obviously quite slow, is there anything you can do to improve the situation?

Sorry, but it has to be Extract with BatchUnpack=0, ExtractWithPath and BatchUnpack=0 doesn't work with this problematic installers.

[deus-ex]

Ah yes, now that you mention it. Thanks for the reminder.

[TychoBarfy]

ExtractWithPath and either BatchUnpack=0 OR 1 doesn't work with this problematic installers.

Setting Debug=1 shows Errorlevel returned: 0 in log no matter what kind of operations I do
in such kind of file. (in root or a directory level deeper, viewing, extracting what is generating
0 byte files if BatchUnpack=1)

Extracting, viewing works but slow, using Extract and BatchUnpack=0 (doesn't work with BatchUnpack=1).

[deus-ex]

Actually, you can't go wrong. By either setting 'BatchUnpack' to '0' or deleting this entry from the configuration entirely, MultiArc requires the key 'Extract=' to be defined. This means with 'BatchUnpack=0' MultiArc uses ONLY the value of the key 'Extract=', NOT the value of 'ExtractWithPath=', which could be safely removed from the configuration in such cases.

This also means, when 'BatchUnpack' is set to '1' the key 'Extract=' is not required and can be removed from the configuration, as the entry 'ExtractWithPath=' is always required/used instead.

Quote from MultiArc help-file:

Code: Select all

BatchUnpack: Treat "Extract single file" requests as "Extract with path" commands. Requires the archiver addon key ExtractWithPath to be configured. (default = 0).

[TychoBarfy]

Ah, thanks for this hint. So I must not comment ExtractWithPath.

[MVV]

Yes, batch unpacking only works with ExtractWithPath, as long as non-batch unpacking only uses Extract. Perhaps ExtractWithPath is not the best name for this command...

BTW I've noticed that TC closes and re-opens archive for retrieving contents and for extracting/deleting files, and it causes MultiArc to query listing once again, but querying listing is a pretty long operation in case of large archives. Maybe I will add caching listings for some recent archives (user can open multiple archives at once so more than one listing should be cached)...

[deus-ex]

Perhaps ExtractWithPath is not the best name for this command...

Agreed, the key name is quite misleading. Maybe ExtractWithListfile suits the meaning/purpose better? You could rename it for the next release, while allowing ExtractWithPath as a valid substitute to not break existing MultiArc add-ons.

[MVV]

This name is not good also because both Extract and ExtractWithPath support filelists. Perhaps something like ExtractBatched would be better.

[deus-ex]

Ah, yes, you're right. How about ExtractBatchUnpack, which creates a direct connection to the key BatchUnpack? Or maybe ExtractBatchRun, which also sounds logical and repeats the 'Batch' theme.

[TychoBarfy]

ExtractWithBatch or ExtractByBatch or ExtractInBatch or ExtractBatchMode ?

[MVV]

Please set Debug=1 in Multiarc.ini's InnoSetup addon and reproduce the bug, then show what is in addon's debug log file MultiArc.InnoSetup.log. My log contains mentioned error 649, but what does yours?

[TychoBarfy]

Settings:
BatchUnpack=1
Debug=1

Ctrl+PageDown on IZArc_4.4.exe
Going into {app} dir.
Pointing on {app}\Donate.url an clicking on View.
Nothing to view, because file sice is zero.

According to log, there were no error. Can you try to repeat with a non-empty file?

Hi MVV, I guess you mean, with a normal Inno Setup file, that doesn't produce 0-byte-files
when unpacking with BatchUnpack=1?

Same result in log but without zero files. Could it be, that the debugger returns no error,
because files are extracted, but does not check if there are any data in the files?
In other words, it doesn't compare file contents >= 0 before against contents after unpacking.
