is this tool write the full INF file

or merg the four file in one inf

This tool just creates the necessary sections to add to your inf file. It will also create the cab file for those files.

I am working on an update for my Firefox Addon Maker that uses an hta as the gui. As soon as completed with it, I will start on this and add some features. To include creating the inf for you.

[Guest]

hi Jonney boy

i tried it

it made the inf in one sec <<< to fast and that is great

here is the feed back it seems it creates it with uninstall commands and all stuff

in

[KillProcess]

TASKKILL /F /IM %win_comp%.exe

TSKILL %win_comp%

%win_comp% is set to the exe file but when i used the string i named it to the program name

so i suggest you make a different string for the exe file

second

the destination dir

you need to make it asks for the program dir i guess

that all what i think it needs in this build

i checked it and found no other problems seems to be in

[Jonnyboy]

[KillProcess]

TASKKILL /F /IM %win_comp%.exe

TSKILL %win_comp%

%win_comp% is set to the exe file but when i used the string i named it to the program name

no problem, i can change that.

the destination dir

you need to make it asks for the program dir i guess

The program asks for you to add a folder or a file to include in the addon, not program dir or destination dir. They will be placed exactly where there were found. In the future, I may be able to change the destination folder.

This is so you can add multiple folder and\or files. There is no limit to the number of folders or files that can be added. You do not need to add subfolders, they will be included.

For example, the program is installed in %programfiles%, but also creates a user settings folder in %appdata% and adds a file to system32. Just add the 2 folders and then the file and the inf is created. Then, edit the String Variables. Then, create addon and your done.

Thanks for the feedback

I am adding DIRID's for 16422, 16410, 16412, 16419, 10 and 11. The script will be able to parse the path and substitute the DIRID's properly.

If there are other DIRID's that you would like added, please let me know. If I can add them , I will.

found and fixed - as soon as i get Vista support working, I will post the update.

Thanks

***EDIT***

I need a little help with using vbscript and InternetExplorer.Application. If you can assist me, I would appreciate it. This is the only way to browse to a file in Vista and XP. There are other ways, but it requires you registering a dll prior to running the script and I do not want to do that.

***EDIT***

Well, for now I will register the dll and then unregister the dll. Unless, I can find a better way of doing it.

I'm sorry but to be able to create the addon, it is not possible to create using batch files. If it is a language issue, I am willing to add your language to the script.

Ok, first this "%win_comp%,8,47" will create a shortcut in "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools", if you want "Start/All Programs/Restorator 2007" your profileitems would look like

[ProfileItems Name.AddShortcut]
Name =%win_comp%,8,23
CmdLine =16422,%prog_dir%,%prog_exe%
WorkingDir =16422,%prog_dir%
SubDir=%prog_dir%

Second, I forget to add the code back in for deldirs and Delfiles. It will be in the update that I post today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Jonnyboy.

Thanx for the exellent work.

It's a great script and VERY useful.

I have a favor to ask: can you make a tutorial how to write hta scripts?

Thanx again.

I have a favor to ask: can you make a tutorial how to write hta scripts?

That would be harder than it sounds.

First, an hta is a combination of html and either vbscript or javascript. So, you have to know how to use one of those scripting languages and html.

Second, if you have followed the progress of the INF Assistant and the Firefox Addon Maker, you can see that I am still learning both vbscript and html.

Third, I still need to write tutorials for both of the afore mentioned hta's.

Fourth, I haven't completed the afore mentioned hta's. There are still more features being added to both.

Aside from these, I thank you and maybe at a later date, I can try to write a tutorial on hta's.
