Cool :thumbsup:

Added WinRAR 3.70 beta addon maker

Updated

Thanks for the handy tool. Some ideas/requests for a future version...match installed "Integration" settings. Specific requests are:

1) Match installed file associations. (I have 7zip installed also, and prefer for it to be associated with .7z files...aka winrar NOT associated.) This tool automatically associates winrar with all supported file types.

2) Match installed shell integration. (More specifically, I prefer "Cascaded context menus". Default is non-cascaded.)

Thanks again.

LOL who do you think I am Rickdini :lol:

Sorry m8 but im not that good. This addon builder is simpler than it appears, its just a CMD file with a bunch of INF files for different theme settings and stuff.

@Rickdini : Well, regardless of your perspective, I still consider your add-on maker impressive. It's beyond my skill level.

I'll figure out my solution with some registry comparisons then. (Unless you have a better recommendation?)

Thanks anyway.

Yea but its not for the faint of heart, you might need some addon making skills...

Install the WinRAR Addon "AS-IS" then run InstallWatch

Now open WinRAR and change the settings to the way you like it and run InstallWatch again to see the changes made to the registry.

Export the InstallWatch Reg changes

Use Reg2Inf to convert the InstallWatch RegFile to INF then expand and edit/delete the IN_ file of the addon to add/edit or remove Reg-lines.

Does this tool can be apply to winrar 3.71?

I try to apply with winrar 3.71 but got error

!-error(s):

-L2 file not found : zipnew.dat <zipnew.dat>

! error(s).

!!!!-Critical error(s) detected,process aborted

The error also occur when I apply to winrar 3.70. what does it mean?

Maybe you are using a different language, any case will update the addon later today. I have a new INF file

Different language? I used English. Nevermind, I just wait the new version. Thanks Rick.

Updated... Will work on 3.7x only

Hi Ricks. I still having the same problem with this new winrar addon maker.

Give me a list of files you have in your WinRAR folder, this is what mine has.

Formats (Dir)
Default.SFX
Descript.ion
File_Id.diz
License.txt
Order.htm
Rar.exe
Rar.txt
RarExt64.dll
RarExt.dll
RarExtLoader.exe
RarFiles.lst
rarnew.dat
rarreg.key
ReadMe.txt
TechNote.txt
Uninstall.exe
Uninstall.lst
UnRAR.exe
UnrarSrc.txt
WhatsNew.txt
WinCon.SFX
WinRAR.chm
WinRAR.exe
Zip.SFX
zipnew.dat

The list are the same only zipnew.dat nor there. looks weird.

Edited November 11, 200717 yr by yadzil

where does this zipnew.dat come from? I check both v3.70 and v3.71 original setup file doesn't have this file? does winrar really need this file?

zipnew.dat and rarnew.dat are both used/copied when you right click and choose New -> WinRAR Archive and WinRAR Zip Arhive so yes these are standard and nessesary.

Rick i have the same problem, no zipnew.dat file

Hey what version r u using ??? I'm using 3.71

cool add on tho

Yep 3.71, I just reinstalled it and I confirm with my installer I get those 2 files

but why not in my installation file or folder?

Did you by any chance disable or remove zip functionality with nLite?

to fix the rarnew/zipnew problem, go to winrar settings and make sure its the default rar/zip program. you may need to uncheck and recheck those boxes.
