Thanks for sharing. Usually, I just test out my addon on HFSlip & nlite on VM. (but mainly on HFSlip only). I have taken some effort to test on RMVi sometime back. Once it works, I also tested same addon on nlite & HFSlip. But tesing in various scenario on different slipstreamer is too time-consuming for me. Hence only basic testing is done. My main slipstreamer is HFSlip as it can be run fully unattended, saving me lots of precious time. Frankly, T35 stage is installing device/network. I do not see how my addon can affect this stage. Googling T35 hang problem reveals conflict with some device. Not suggesting there is device conflict at your end but just for info as I'm clueless with this kind of problem too. EDIT Look at Resolution item 2. It might helps.

Thanks for the lead. Here are some capability and /limitation I tested on XP. Shortcuts Map 2.3 For Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 Shortcuts Map will help you to manage hotkeys assigned to shortcuts on the desktop or in the Start menu hierarchy. With the straightforward user interface, you can easily to change a hotkey or find an unused hotkey. List only hotkey from the Start Menu & desktop location. Other keys within application are not listed. Can print the list. I found one here. Shortcut Key Explorer v1.02 Supported OS: Win95 to win8 Detect only hotkey on the start menu & desktop. Cannot print the list. Standalone app. Ethervane ActiveHotkeys 1.3.1 Build 16 Windows 95, XP, Vista, 7 or later (32-bit versions only) ActiveHotkeys detects what global keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) are currently registered on the computer by various applications. This helps you determine which hotkeys are in use, and which are still available. However, it does not indicate which program uses that hotkey. (Due to OS limitation) Will list every hotkey that are currently in use, not just the hotkey on Start Menu/desktop shortcut. However, it does not list which program are use in Start Menu or Desktop. Dev still very active with this software. Originally from donationcoder.com and still active there. Probably the most comprehensive software among the three. Suggest to use a combination of 2 softwares. (Shortcut Key Explorer v1.02 + Ethervane ActiveHotkeys) Cheers

Just wonder if anyone know which freeware tool can list all the hotkey that are already in use by the Operating System. Eg. I have an application that I wish to set a hotkey such as Win+W within the application setting. I would like to know whether this hotkey is in conflict with any pre-registered hotkey that are already taken up. I probably could test it out one by one (I know some program does throw up a warning if there is a conflict) but it would be better to know in advance if such utility exists which can generate a list of pre-registered hotkey used by the system.

An easy to use 7-Zip toolbar and filetype theme manager. Many users of the excellent file archiver 7-Zip criticized its nostalgic appearance. That's exactly where 7-Zip Theme Manager (7zTM) comes in and offers the tools to change the appearance of the archiver. 7-Zip Theme Manager will also help you replace the standard icon which 7-Zip uses for SFX-archives (self-extracting archives) via a button in the main menu, so that it will be used for all future archives. Here are some key features of "7-Zip Theme Manager": Stylish: · Toolbar Themes - change the look of the toolbar of 7-Zip · Filetype Themes - change the look of archived files, for instance in Explorer · 90 Toolbar Themes and 22 Filetype Themes integrated (wow!) · changing the SFX-icon (self-extracting archive) is now possible Handy: · automatic or manual search of the 7-Zip installation folder · convenient activation of the Themes with just a click · Themes previews integrated directly into the program · multi-lingual user interface · online update for up to date Themes and features · possibility to create your own Themes · supports 7-Zip 32-Bit and 64-Bit Requirements: · 7-Zip 4.65 or above (I tested with my own v9.22 beta True addon) · Administrative rights Access from All User's Start Menu: 7-zip Theme Manager Uninstallable from Add/Remove Panel Languages: German, English, Italian 7ZipThemeManager21_addon.cab Size: 9.12 Mb (9,560,168 bytes) MD5: 3022F8CB5D41ED993F44CE68F60494F6 Note: This addon is not suitable with 7-Zip 9.23 alpha.

[DefaultInstall] is use for normal installation when user right-click on the inf and select "Install". See your default registry entry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell\Install\command and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\inffile\shell\Install\command Then from my inf, advpack.dll is initiated as [DefaultInstall] is using setupapi.dll which does does not support certain directives. For my inf, using advpack.dll can let me use the following below directives that setupapi.dll doesn't support. BeginPrompt EndPrompt RunPreSetupCommands RunPostSetupCommands SmartReboot DelDirs Cleanup=1 CheckAdminRights One thing advpack.dll that I know of is that it doesn't support RegisterDlls. RegisterDlls is supported thru setupapi.dll (for normal installation) and [Optional Components] (for Setup). To register some dll files via Advpack.dll, I normally use RunPreSetupCommands and/or RunPostSetupCommands. RunPreSetupCommands/RunPostSetupCommands is useful if you wish to run a batch command. However note that path with space generally requires you to triple quote the whole string in inf as cmd does not interpret correctly file path with space. This generally does not happen with syntax that are use in by the registry. The registry will interpret correctly file path with space correctly w/o quoting the whole string. Having said that, you still need to quote it if file path is a command that takes some command parameter(s). Usually regtoinf converter will that care of these when you convert .reg to .inf I have googled some links that you can read further... hope it is useful for learning inf. Class=class-name info, some info here: http://www.osronline...format_2fzm.htm INF DefaultInstall Section : http://www.osronline...format_33ea.htm Advanced INF: http://www.mdgx.com/INF_web/ INF Directives : http://msdn.microsof...v=VS.85%29.aspx You can also check how inf parse certain characters in inf via batch command. Test_RunPreSetupCommands.inf template as follow: [Version] Signature=$Windows NT$ [DefaultInstall] RegisterDLLs=Start.Register [Start.Register] 11,,rundll32.exe,,,"advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %1%\%infname%.inf,Install" [Install] RunPreSetupCommands=TESTBatchString [TESTBatchString] ; view how cmd parse " % ! ^ characters in inf ... cmd /c """Echo Basically any strings with space need to triple quote"""&& Echo. && pause cmd /c """Echo This is to generate a literal ^"" dblquote on console box """&& Echo. && pause cmd /c """Echo Output 1 syntax %%""" && Echo. && pause && ::output as % cmd /c """Echo Output 2 syntax %%%%""" && Echo. && pause && ::output is %% cmd /c """Echo Output 3 syntax %%systemroot%%""" && Echo. && pause && ::output as C:\WINDOWS cmd /c """Echo Output 4 syntax ^%%systemroot^%%""" && Echo. && pause && ::output as %systemroot% cmd /c """Echo Output 5 Exclamation mark syntax !""" && Echo. && pause && ::output as ! cmd /c """Echo Output 6 caret syntax ^^""" && Echo. && pause && ::output as ^ cmd /c """Echo Output 7 single quote syntax '""" && Echo. && pause && ::output as ' [Strings] infname=Test_RunPreSetupCommands It appears I know a lot. Actually not so. There are a few challenges that I still do not know such as -creating services solely using inf (w/o pre/post setup command via sc.exe). If anyone has sample ddon for services, let me know. -Installing printer software drivers such that it appears in "Printers and Faxes" menu. Perhaps dopdf? So far no one has create an inf addon for printer-driver type. -hardware device installation. Obviously this is a whole new world of inf when it comes to device driver. Too complex to learn...giveup. Let share inf knowledge whenever we can INF is useful if you are fedup with svcpack installation that doesn't install exactly the way you want it. Perhaps it launches the program or a website after installation, creating unwanted shortcut, etc. While generally can by further process via some script, it takes up additional disk space. I have no regrets learning inf. It solves a lot of unattended installation headache that /whatever-switch generally comes with.

Homepage (This addon is 32 bit only) OpenWith Enhanced is a small freeware application which replaces the standard Windows 'Open With...' window with an improved comprehensive yet intuitive dialog box. Instead of just presenting the original Windows plain list of installed applications, requiring you to guess the best choice for opening a given file - OpenWith Enhanced extends this list with some of the most popular applications selected by past users to successfully open that specific file type, based on a constantly-updated online database. Applications that have already been installed onto your computer are marked accordingly, so you will know immediately which ones you have access to. If you choose a non-installed application however, you will be redirected to the appropriate program's official website that contains all the relevant downloading and purchasing information. So each time you stumble upon an unknown file type and wonder what program could possibly open it, or you are looking for a better application to deal with the files you are already familiar with - all you have to do is simply right-click into the Open With... menu and choose. In addition, OpenWith Enhanced includes several extra handy options: •Change the icon associated with each file type •Remove or disable for a current user any given file association (especially handy on WindowsVista / Windows7 OS, where such options aren't available through standard UI) •Clear the Open With... menu from any unneeded applications •Autofill file type description for new associations with the most popular ones •It works natively on both x86 and x64 versions of Windows and respects UAC settings And of course, it does what the Open With... dialog should do; allow you to easily open your different files with different applications! (This addon comes with 5 languages support but only English lang file is copied.) Supported languages are Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian & English. You need to edit the inf to change to your preferred language. To change lang to e.g Spanish, uncomment in [PF1.Copy] section by removing ; character ; Spanish.mo then add ; character to English.mo and change in [strings] section Lang=Spanish The Inf for English is as follows: [PF1.Copy] OpenWith.dll,,,1 ; Spanish.mo ; To include only your lang file, just remove ; at the begining of your lang file ; Russian.mo ; Dutch.mo ; Brazilian Portuguese.mo ; German.mo English.mo [strings] Lang=English ;Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, English OpenWith_Enhanced_1.05_inf_addon.cab Size: 151.69 Kb (155,335 bytes) MD5: 155F5653EBA405BCD03765073D22EFE7

Hi all, updated to 4.10 beta 5 ==== @oguz, I repack 1 time for you : svcpack method Will host for 7 days or earlier. Pls modify slightly at your end the [Del.i386] section in future if you wish to convert to svcpack. For some unknown reason, the sfx does not execute from temp dir, so I have to del from current dir after normal installation. It is not really necessary to modify [Del.i386] if slipstream from svcpack.inf However if you normal install, then it is better to modify as it can't remove the extracted files after installation.

Thanks. You can easily DIY by converting to silent installer with WINRAR. The winrar sfx installer should contains only 3 files: 2 cabs files + winrar4.inf Use the below comment file ;The comment below contains fully silent SFX script commands Setup=rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection winrar4.inf,Install,3 TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1
