Rick this is awesome keep up the excellent work and I hope to see more do you have a Donate button..... :thumbsup_anim: I have been using this method for a while now when you sent this to me months ago. I see you are using Vista now how are you adding the addons / programs during Vista install?

Thank YOU......

[ricktendo]

Well I use Vista and XP (Spanish because I have a spanish UpdatePack now)

I add addons to Vista with WPI and I also add some with GImageX (zipped programs with shortcuts that don't have any reg entries sendto style)

As for the Donate button, PayPal does not work in my country. Have to use Xoom but that costs 6 bucks depending on amount :S

[Raoul]

hey rick i want to learn how to make this one but i dont want to download it one by one

can u upload the video to youtube

Sorry I only have a 256 kbps connection and 7zipping it and uploading via FTP is fastest for me...7-zip reduces the video by allot

BTW you dont have to download all the sections to start viewing, they are cut. You can watch part 2 without the need to dl part 1

If somebody wants to upload them to their YouTube account feel free I wont mind

[Guest]

hi rick i want help me when i add reg to config dont good work on RunOnceEx?why.rar

[ricktendo]

I think you have to make it CAPITOL "S"

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="Windows_Live_Mail.msi /qn /norestart"
AutoInstall="hidcon:reg add HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx\\WindowsLive /v Install /d %%S\\WindowsLiveMail.exe /f"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

When i use This config dont write in registry "S"

Edited November 28, 2008 by mona

[ricktendo]

mona, it needs to be BIG (%%S) not small (%%s)

[Guest]

OK I USING BIG %%S BUT NOT WORKED

[ricktendo]

dont forget, you have to run the test exe with -ai

Its working for me...wherever I run it, it will add that path to the 7zip sfx into the registry

[Guest]

i using excute with parametrs -ai but not worked

Edited November 28, 2008 by mona

[ricktendo]

Same config.txt I just changed the S to s and I reproduce the error

BTW dont execute it from a place that has spaces in the path, if you do the install will fail...this is not a problem when it is launched in the SVCPACK folder because there is no spaces in the path to X:\I386\SVCPACK
