  1. Only good at INF addons not those switchless ones that use CMD files and RunOnceEx EDIT: Found one but you may need to register http://www.doitrightconsulting.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=120
  2. Time for a new Tutorial. At first there are new versions of all the stuff that's needed. Secondly are there much improvements and is there an easier way to make a 7-Zip Installer now. Third: I think most people don't know this all. Tutorial: 1. Download the right 7zSD (always linked to latest version). Extract and place the 7zsd.sfx in a new folder. 2. Go to here and download the 7za***.zip (where *** is the version number) from the latest 7-Zip command line version. Extract and place only the 7za.exe in the same folder as 7zSD. 3. Download UPX here. Extract and place only the upx.exe in the folder where 7zSD and 7za are placed. 4. Make a subdirectory with the name Bin and copy all installation files to. 5. If you want, you can change the icon of the installer by replacing the icon in 7zsd.sfx using ResHacker as described here. 6. You can also change the version info of the executable using ResHacker. Go to the folder Version Info in ResHacker by opening 7zsd.sfx and rename the values of "CompanyName" and "FileDescription". 7. Create a Config.txt in the same folder as 7zSD, 7za and UPX. Open it and set: Replace program.exe with the name of your installer (including the extension). Replace -switch with the desired switch(es) to be used. Many switches of different programs can be found here. For a full silent 7-Zip install you add: It's not needed any more to add StartX.exe, msistub.exe or other supplementary tools. Then "waiting" is enabled by default for 'RunProgram=', unless 'nowait:' parameter is used. Also reg-files aren't needed any more. They can be configured in the Config.txt. For a Register Entry (If you use a lot of Register Entries it's smart to use the parameter SetEnvironment to save time): Keep this in mind: you MUST use DOUBLE backslashes (\\) wherever you normally use backslashes (\) (e.g. in paths or dialog texts). Similarly, if the Value contains double quotes ("), you MUST precede them with a backslash (\"). Now, your Config.txt looks like this: You can add, edit and remove lines if you want. * All available configuration parameters and other helpful information can be found here (site is just translated from Russian to English). 8. Save Config.txt with UTF-8 encoding by selecting "UTF-8" from the dropdown menu in the "Save As..." dialog in Notepad. 9. Make a Create.cmd in the same folder as the Config.txt and past the following: upx --ultra-brute 7zsd.sfx cd Bin ..\7za a -mx=9 "..\Program.7z" * cd .. copy /b 7zsd.sfx + Config.txt + Program.7z Program_Name.exe del Program.7z 10. Rename Program_Name to your own program name and run your Create.cmd. 11. Congratulations: you have guaranteed the littlest 7-Zip Installer as possible. Tool: Utility that can extract 7z archive and config file (Config.txt) as well as SFX module (7zsd.sfx) from 7z SFX archive. It has the name 7z SFX Archive Splitter (from the 7z SFX creator) and you can download it here (always linked to latest version). EnJoy.

  4. Well non intrusively you can use IconPackager (but it ain't free) you can add custom icons for custom extensions like .vkp and .mbn (txt is already in there)

    YAY! Finally Off Topic: Wolf can make the dl and other buttons look Vista'ish not Mac'ish plz P.S. OffTopic still broken (except when you preview your post.) Maybe if you try to delete it and add it again.
  6. What is your list of gadgets so I can try to replicate it, and also are you using the modded wlsrvc.dll to fix Weather? Also what does the error box say.

    Yo welcome
  12. Steve FGCBA will give those errors because it has not been updated with any new INF commands/flag tricks, I have asked the creator to add these. http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=62730#62730
  13. Happy birthday man, don't go out and get drunk now.
  14. Well then Note.inf should be automatically compressed... nLite does not use that.
  15. Look his problem and your problem are different, when I say you don't have a clue is because I do and I see nothing in this addon that would break RunOnce so check your other addons because it aint this one EDIT: and not compressing Note.inf should not be an issue either, its only done to save space
  16. bober you don't know what you're talking about and Steve you are using the RVM integrator correct? Only thing I see wrong is that the Note.inf is not pre-compressed or that there is no [i386_compress] section in the Entries_*.ini
  17. And how in the world would it do that?
  18. File Not Found... This is 2005, its old
  19. Basically any file in CopyFiles listed with the @ symbol will get copied to the DefaultDestDir
  20. More Info (look for CoyFiles and a "Single" file)Here is another addon that uses this same method http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1943
