Glad you all like it!

updated to v0.12 Changelog: v0.12 -added script to allow "On-the-Fly" file renaming for duplicate files when not using Rename All Files -fixed bug with multiple folders not copying properly

Glad it helped! That is exactly the purpose for the little script.

thanks - it's a work in progress

Inf Assistant v0.23 Updated 6 Dec 08 Features: This is an hta script that will create a "True" addon It can locate an unlimited number of folders and an unlimited number of individual files, as needed It can add an unlimited number of ProfileItmes(shortcuts) It works in temp folder and puts completed addon in your current location It renames every file to comply with 8.3 or can rename only the filename and leave the first 3 characters of the extension It parses the filepath and and inserts most of the DIRID's (16423, 16389, 16410, 16412, 16418, 16416, 16405, 16417, 16384, 16400, 16390, 16403, 16411, 16393, 16392, 16432, 16391, 16386, 16395, 16424, 16419, 16409, 16415, 16408, 16407, 16406, 16422, 16404, 16421, 16425, 16420, 17, 24). Options: Can edit the String Variables Can copy inf to clipboard and edit as you like, then complete the addon on your own. Can add your registry settings Can add a pre-built uninstaller, that will uninstall completely Notes: This is a work in progress. I intend to add the ability to rename all files as you like, or 8.3 and keep the existing extension so long as meets 8.3. I intend to add the ability to insert additional String Variables and integrate them into the inf I hope to be able to allow edit of the the inf on the fly and continue with addon I hope to add a timer and status bar along the bottom of hta I hope the add the ability to resize elements when resizing main page I am open to suggestions for further features Compatibility: Tested in Windows XP and Vista Not tested in 64-bit systems Obstacles: Will not process any folder that you do not have permission to Read, will cause error MD5: 42F7AD8202196DF7D606F9D09D103C82 Size: 378 KB

Requirements Ayakawa's SSE2 versions requires M$ Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) I think Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package will do the trick.

I have been working alot, lately. Much more than usual. I have not had any time to work on this. As far as I can tell, v0.48 works properly and is posted a few posts back. But, I am unhappy with so many options in the batch file. I need a few solid hours to complete it using an HTA as the front-end, instead of using a batch file. The HTA will make the process smoother and easier to understand, but it will require IE to be installed. For now, with my current work load, I can not say when I will have it completed. Sooner rather than later, I hope.

links fixed thanks N1K

I had to try several times before I got a non-negative number. I kept saying WTF, this can't be right!

I'm cross-eyed looking at version 0.48. If you have the time, put it through it's paces and let me know how it works. I think that I have the bugs worked out. Also, if you have experience creating hta's and have a little free time please PM me. Thanks to all for the assistance

Glad you had the backups. Glad your back online.

The script gets the extensions from both the profile and the extensions folder. Please send me the logs and I'll look at them.

Some very nice backgrounds in this theme. BTW How do you enable dreamscenes?

yes. some the progs don't run. But, that is not a problem with the addon. Just playing around with Server 08, I don't know if I will stay with it or not.

Thanks Nice little 1 line message bar on silent installer.

Can this be installed in Server 2008? I have tried, but failure after file copy process. (data invalid) *EDIT* if i comment out the ProfileItems WPI, then it installs without a hitch. Thanks

thanks reaper

update posted -added additional check for hidden files\foldes -added WGA 1.7.0069.3 -added OGA 1.7.0069.3

Looking at the logs, it doesn't appear that the VM you were running had an internet connection. If you had, wget would have given me some sort of log. In your logs, wget gives back nothing, usually meaning failure. It would be near impossible that all web sites are down. I would guess that there was no internet connection. As to the question posed, copying personal files takes less than a second. I include a pause in the script, just so that you know that it happened and was not missed. Copying non-personal files can take much longer depending on how many extensions you have installed. On another note, I have completed the update. I am waiting for some information on WPI addons before I post the update. It will include an option to create a WPI ready addon. ***EDIT*** Since most people configure their wpi folder differently, it does not make sense to add that option. At least for now.

I have found that both "0" and "2" are valid values for the key above and I will make post an update tonight or tomorrow. Thanks

I agree, that that section is a bit vague. I will add further instructions. But, at the top of the popup window, it tells where to navigate to. For each popup, if you enter an incorrect path, the script will notify you and ask you to do it again, showing where the correct path might be. I already check for this, change if necessary and with permission , then restore when completed. There are 2 files in the bin folder that accomplish this task. In my previous post I stated that my script already checks this and why it may have failed on your system. Please send me the logs if the value in the key specified is "0" It will be completely uninstalled, the uninstall inf is not updated when you upgrade to another version. That uninstaller will also be available. The firefox "helper.exe" does not remove any reg entries. The 2.0.0.x version only deletes the files that it installed, nothing else. The 3.0.x version deletes the files that it installed and removes the profiles. Yes, they can be uninstalled. The will also be disabled on first run. It can be unnstalled in the normal manner. Don't worry about too many questions. If you have more, ask away.

I'm not sure that I understand what it is that you want. You just want to know how to set firefox as default? Or you want to know the reg settings that set firefox as default?

There is already a script to test and for and change that setting. Could you send me the logs, so that I can see why that failed for you. Thank you **EDIT** The script only checks this key of the value "0", "0" equals files are hidden HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\HiddenI have seen and was aware of the usage of "2" for this value. It is my understanding that a value of "2" was caused by a worm, WORM_VIRKEL.B. and OnLineGames.5339@net This is the reason that I did not include the "2" in the check and you probably have a value of "2" in this key. This does not mean that you have been infected by this worm. Because, I have also read in many, many tutorials that you should change that same value to "2", instead of using "0" or "1". I am a novice at these reg tweaks, therefore I may be wrong. But, I don't think that I will change the script to test for the value "2" in this key. I have been unable to locate the correct values of this key as published by M$. I can, of course, be persuaded to change the script, if I could locate the correct values for this key.
