It works great. I've tried it on a H2O setup from 2005.

 

To use the R2RINNO.DLL helper functions, you have to first include it in the [Files] section with the "dontcopy" flag and its DestDir={tmp}
After that in the code section you have to declare the function prototype like this:

Code:

function GetVST2Dir64(lpszDirPath: string): Integer;
extern 'GetDirVST2x64@files:R2RINNO.DLL stdcall setuponly';

This makes a DLL function available to the Code section. The setup then figures out where to find it and how to call it in the next line. The stdcall is a low level detail. I can explain it to you if you want. Leave it as it is for any other functions you use from R2RINNO.DLL. It is different for different DLLs, you can find it from IDA etc.
Now you need this value in a Select Plugin Install Location page. You must make a custom page for that like this:

Code:

; Declare the variables
var
  lpszBuf: String,
  VST2DirPage: TDirInputWizardPage;

; Here you declare your page
procedure InitializeWizard;
begin
  ; Create Page code. Refer Inno Setup docs
  SetLength(lpszBuf, 260);
  GetVST2Dir64(lpszBuf);
  SetLength(lpszBuf, Pos(#0, lpszBuf) - 1);
  ; The string can be empty, this function isn't failsafe
  VST2DirPage.Values[0] := lpszBuf;
  ; Thus the select dir page gets a value
end;

Now this value i.e. VST2DirPage.Values[0] can be retrieved into the files section. Refer Inno's docs (scripted constants).

 

now I'm actually having trouble with me pants.
good thread though...
I mean this one, not the one's in me pants.

 

Tried to unpack "ircamLAB TS v2.1.1 CE". Changed 8.1.5 to 6.0.2 and InnoExtractor can open it then but if i try to unpack it ask to a Decrypt Installer password. Please V.R. stop reading this forum! NOW!!!

 

Ye, that's wat VR did before. They encrypted their installers.
Only thing you can unpack here is the Inno script stub and some files used by the installer itself.
Your only option is to install it into a Sandbox.

 

you can unpack original setup from official site. this is install_script.iss after unpacking:

it's enough if you want to understand what exactly doing setup file during an installation.
you can replace original exe/dll files with cracked (just copy them from program folder after installationof cracked version) if you want to compile setup file with cracked version (if the installer by Team V.R not working/working with errors for you).

if want to know how you can make setup file with skins/music/transparency/etc you don't need any special files for installation. in this case all you need - add-ons for inno setup compilers, a little effort to study the syntax of the inno setup script and 2-3 tutorials with examples of using add-ons in the inno setup installation files.

 

I have some V.R installers without password. Maybe they should stop reading this forum after all.
My problem is when I don't want to install the whole package, but need to extract just one or two particular cracked files.
Maybe Team R2R could crack their Inno Setup installer password?

 

that's why these installers are protected.

 

Against what?

 

del

 

Now with TBProAudio bundle 2020.8.3 CE InnoSetup 6.0.0 in HeX editor. Can't extract. changed to 6.0.2 and 5.6.1.
It would be really cool if we can select what we wan't from a bundle! :/

 

Yes, they are still playing hard to get. But @r4e will solve it, as a piece of cake.
