If you want to make a addon out of your silent switch for nLite its pretty easy:

- Create a new folder named svcpack and place your silent installer you made with this tuto into it

- Create a new text file, rename it Entries_whatever.ini (where whatever is you can put what you like example Entries_Firefox.ini)

- Copy & Paste the following into your Entries_*.ini and fill in the details

[general]
builddate=2009/10/05
description=Description of the program goes here.
language=English
title=Program Name
version=1.0.1
website=http://www.example.com

[EditFile]
SVCPACK.INF,SetupHotfixesToRun,AddProgram

[AddProgram]
NameOfInstaller.exe

- Now you can compress the Entreis_*.ini and the svcpack folder together into a addon that nLite will be able to read and integrate

Tip: you can download a already pachaged nlite addon so you can see how its done http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?/forum/105-svcpack-addons/

If you want to add reg entries you can compress a .reg file along with your regular installer (in the 7zip sfx) and use something like this in your config.txt (assuming your reg file is named NameOfReg.Reg)

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="Installer.exe /X"
RunProgram="regedit /s NameOfReg.Reg"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

After the sfx extracts and installs your program silently it will apply the .reg file afther the program finishes installing (read the .chm included in ssmaker for many more examples like this)

Thanks a lot !!!

I'm trying...

I will come back later tell you if all is ok

Thanks

how to use a .iss in config.txt?

isn't iss is an extension for

inno setup ?

if i wasn't mistaken you need to use the Inno setup and compile the exe with it

and use /S to make it silent

[Guest]

well i didn't know about iss

so try and read this

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/print/web/40/

Edit :

seems that all you need is

to add the iss in the same folder with the setup

and add the parametr -s

I know how to use it but I do not know how to use the config.txt file to create the addon svcpack

sorry if you didn't notice i edited my last post so see it

[ricktendo]

Config.txt is only used for the sfx/exe installer its not used for making nLite see the addon, you need to create a entries.ini file

RunOnceEx config.txt example:

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

Rick in the new sfx there is a new variable called %%M it's for the Sfx name

so you can make it

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="WindowsDefender.msi /qn TRANSFORMS=NoLaunch.mst /norestart"
AutoInstall="hidcon:reg add HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx\\windefender /v Install /d %%S\\%%M /f"
GUIMode="2"
;!@InstallEnd@!

that since 1.3 Beta (Build 1095)

I'm having trouble downloading Silent Switch Maker from your SkyDrive. Gives a "Remote server or file not found" error.
