Cannot extract installer with setup data version 5.6.2

Question

Cannot extract installer with setup data version 5.6.2

AJenbo opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

Hi, I work on DevilutionX. We recently released a port for Android. Some users are unable to play the full version after buying Diablo from GOG since they do not have access to a computer.
So I was hoping that Innoextract would be a solution for them, but it appears that the version is a bit to old to handle the installer. We have tested the latest Windows and Linux version of Innoextract which seams to work fine.

What is the forcast for a future update to this nice app :)

P.s. it looks like it requires version 1.8 of Innoextract

The current 3.2.0 release unfortunately crashes when trying to extract the files.

Great project! I have an update in progress, but the Android ecosystem is moving so quickly that I'm struggling to keep up! I don't want to commit to a timeline as this is dependent on my spare time, but hopefully it will be in the first half of 2022.

I can very much sympathies with that sentiment :) Let us know if we can help you some how.

@AJenbo As mentioned before, I'm working on an update for InnoExtract 1.8+. I intend to support the majority of the newer features that Daniel has implemented upstream eventually, particularly those around games from GOG, but it would help to know what I should be prioritising in order to give you enough to work with.

As I don't own a copy of Diablo from GOG, can you provide me with the following from either a Linux or Windows machine:

How is it distributed by GOG. Is it a single .exe, or does it have multiple files?
The output of innoextract -l <installer.exe>
The output of innoextract -i <installer.exe>
The output of innoextract --list-languages <installer.exe>

Thanks!

It's a single exe file. I'll try and get you the additional info.

Here we go

.\innoextract.exe -v
innoextract 1.9
Extracts installers created by Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 6.0.5

.\innoextract.exe -l '.\setup_diablo_1.09_hellfire_v2_(30038).exe'

Done.

(cut down to just the relevant files since it's pretty long)

@AJenbo Just to let you know that I haven't forgotten about this. I've had to rethink a significant area in order to support newer versions of Android, but I'm on track to have a beta version with support for this Inno version shortly. I'll keep you posted.

Anders Jenbo · Answer 7 · Mon May 29 2023 22:57:12 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thanks that is really good to hear, we are about to make a new update to the app so that will probably bring more people requesting this :D

I've published v4.0.0-beta1. I'm anticipating another few betas, but I'm keen to get some early feedback to see if you can now extract "setup_diablo_1.09_hellfire_v2_(30038).exe" and whether it's outputting the files you expect.

Anders Jenbo · Answer 9 · Thu Jun 01 2023 02:35:07 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It worked 🎉

Anders Jenbo · Answer 10 · Thu Jun 01 2023 04:25:03 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I had two users test it, they both report that it can successfully extract all the needed files, and also confirmed that it will report a crash at the end. I would say that is good enough to solve the issue users are having. So despite the few remaining issues I would suggest pushing it as a beta on Google Play as well.

Currently people have to download and side load a PC emulator, install Ubuntu, then type some command to do this if they do not have access to a computer :( So ANY solution that can be installed from Google Play is a step up in usability.

Excellent, thanks for your help.

It's already on its way to Google Play - just pending approval etc.

Alan Woolley · Answer 12 · Sat Jun 03 2023 01:15:24 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

This is now generally available as v4.0.0, currently rolling out on the Play Store. I will be closing this issue. Many thanks for your help @AJenbo.

thank you this is huge :)
