Recommended: Kels UberPack (you can manually install this) CMenu or Send2A3X (by MHz) Advanced INF (Use this instead of OSR PDF) .Net Framework 2.0 (required for FGCBA) 7-Zip (also required for FGCBA) ZuneDesktopTheme Video: Zune All Parts (111 MB) FGCBA Test (62.7 MB) Other: ZuneThemeAddOn (final addon) The reason I chose a theme is because it is what I started with and I think, so should you.

I did a search, but didn't come up with anything useful quickly, so: Is there an environment variable or method to grab the date and the currentuser name from a system which can be used in an inf based installer? The inf, after getting the date and currentuser name, will then add this information to the registry of the target system.

Once again I'm stuck on an inf problem. Does anyone know of a way to append to the %PATH% using an INF installer? I know that the path is stored in the registry at: HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment","Path" And I know it would be easy to replace the path. The question is can I append to the existing path in the registry? And, then, to really complicate matters... Would there be a way to uninstall the appended path portion ONLY on an uninstall? I'm probably asking for too much, now. :albert:

Everybody knows how to use ProfileItems to add/del shortcuts for your programs. And everybody knows the basic flags (so I will skip this part) Here is some exotic stuff you NEED and do NOT NEED to know about ProfileItems, including some new tips on how to add special types of shortcuts that do NOT go in the standard places like the All Programs group in your Start Menu.

Hi, I am trying to create a registry entry in the AddReg section that will use the currently logged in user's username. I thought I had it figured out using "HKCU,"Software\MyProgram\MyDirectory","PATH",0x0,"%53%\TargetDirectory". When I run this inf from my desktop, the entry is created as "C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\TargetDirectory", just as I want. However, when I use that line in my addon during Windows install, the entry is created as "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\TargetDirectory" - Instead of "MYUSERNAME", it is showing up as "Default User" and the application does not work. Could someone give me a hint as to how to accomplish this, I have search…

First of all a BIG thanks to this forum for the great information provided on helping me to learn the inf creation process. A special thanks to Ricktendo64 for his gift of sharing that knowledge. I am having one problem I have not been able to find a solution for - the problem of creating a shortcut for a file name or folder that contains spaces. I realize that there are 2 obvious workarounds (using the 8.3 file name or renaming the file), however neither of those options will work for me in all cases. For one, many people are turning off 8.3 file name creation (it's one of the recommended tweaks for SSD drives) and renaming the file often leads to other problems…

Hi everybody! ////////////////////////////// REQUEST #1 ///////////////////////////////////////// I'm workin' on Nero 8.3.20.0 Lite/Micro true addon (english/french). One thing missing : i plan to check reg entries about nero previous versions(v7/v8). If ONE of these reg entries is found, a message will prompt user : "A previous version of Nero has been founded on your system. Please uninstall it before continuing.".
