ricktendo Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 OK seems there may be a problem with me removing SSL, I thought if you had them installed there would be no problem (added them back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Updated SFX and installer. There is no longer need to repack the installer (but you still have the option,) you can now use SERIALNUMBER and other commands to change the default installer behavior. Also added /nsr switch a.k.a. /noSilentReboot to stop reboot during silent install (just in case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaJeEb303 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) hey rick.., d0nt know why, but your sfx maker is n0t creating a w0rking setup f0r me, i just properly foll0wed the steps and inserted the serial number in the bootstrap.lua and hide the serial input dialog of setup by replacing the 0 with 1, and created the final setup, but when i run this setup, nothing happens but the following path is opened: C:\Windows\System32\Setup., i d0nt know whats wr0ng with this, the pr0cedure is simple and i'm pretty sure that i'm not d0ing anything wr0ng..plx heLp...!! :help: Edited January 25, 2014 by NaJeEb303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktendo Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 What version of 7zip did you use to re-compress and what format? (LZMA/LZMA2)You could try adding .exe to the setup command in config.txt RunProgram="setup.exe /T \"%%T\\install\" /S \"%%T\" /v "AutoInstall="setup.exe /T \"%%T\\install\" /S \"%%T\" /s /nsr /v " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think whats going on is the sfx cannot find setup (executable) so its launching the \setup folder in system32 (PATH). Adding .EXE will force it to ONLY look for the executable and it will error if not found. Make sure you are compressing the files and not the folder with the files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
