BeatDrop Installer doesn't let me to do that. #18

Closed OfficialIncubo closed 8 months ago

OfficialIncubo commented 8 months ago

I am making an installer using InstallForge and it built correctly, but when I started to install, it gives me an error: Captură de ecran 2023-10-26 130533 I have tried all of the compression algorithms and still didn't work also tried by changing the path too. Can somebody explain me how can I ditch this error?

InstallForge Version 1.4.4.22

I have had great success with Inno Setup.

These days I avoid using an installer and make a stand-alone, portable folder with all the files required and create a zip file that can be extracted anywhere.

OfficialIncubo commented 8 months ago

I have tried this application 2 days ago. Inno Setup is a setup creator for advanced users imo. It only has a wizard and scripted install creator and it looks more way advanced. 👀

leadedge commented 8 months ago

Yes there's a lot in it, but you don't need all the features. But it sounds like it might not be for you.

The simple method of putting things in folders and zip the result might be an easy way.

OfficialIncubo commented 8 months ago

So, Can I release BeatDrop as a .zip file, but without installer too?

OfficialIncubo commented 8 months ago

I forgot to say, Maxim Volskiy made a BeatDrop installer using NSIS. Maybe I can try an another method with the install creator that I have shared.

OfficialIncubo commented 8 months ago

@leadedge, hmmmm.... It looks like the installer broke up due to some symbols:

BeatDrop Resources\presets\Incubo's Picks\Daft Sex - $o £ong.milk BeatDrop Resources\presets\Incubo's Picks\PowerMilk + Ech0 - Вown to the trip b.milk

Symbols that broke the installer are marked with BOLD.

So the installer did work as usual. What do you think? I'll close when you respond.

leadedge commented 8 months ago

$ and £ characters look problematic, otherwise I don't know why. I suggest renaming the presets and if that doesn't work leave them out.

I already renamed some presets and worked than intended. No more problems.

@OfficialIncubo Didn't want to open a new issue necessarily, but I encountered this same error when trying to use the Installer for v1.3.2.

What Windows OS do you have? Sadly the installer support for Windows XP and older OS have been removed due to incompatibility.

Loopback Capture was introduced starting from Windows Vista/7, whenever Windows XP was the oldest OS ever (if you want to prefer nostalgia).

Check the issue related to unsupported app for Windows XP: https://github.com/OfficialIncubo/BeatDrop-Music-Visualizer/issues/24

Actually it's Windows 11 (Home), pretty much up to date too. I'll check out the other issue too, just in case it provides any insight.

Well. Mine did work great, but what error did it get on the installer? I tested the installer carefully and clear, then no errors got in this installer.

teleksterling commented 3 months ago

It was the same as your screenshot at the top - could not read setup package. It came up after going through all the options (file path, etc). Perhaps it was a bad download? I'll test again when I have the opportunity and report back.
