I have few points for you to consider checking out

1) at "scan directory automatically"

you could have it scan a parent dir first in a suggestive way:

Read programfiles ?? [Read]

the parent dir that was selected from the drop down menu is scanned..listing all child folders Directories in names

then you simply choose one to process .. without the need to browse ..but optional

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

short cuts, dll, ocx are automatically suggested in options active\none active to select...[default anyhow]

adding all *.exe found to a suggestive path, by default-) start menu\group (the name from the child dir in from the previous step is used by default)

the group name in start menu are easily changeable .. to anything else (but for the automatic aspect of addon building it only makes sense to get the name of the parent dir at first (and present it as the default name)...

you can add a few basic Groups for the start menu groups for fast selection

=Multimedia

=Desktop

=Utilities

=Security

=Office

=System

=Internet

=Other

for the other locations for shortcuts the same applies all *.exe are suggested with some select-boxes to activate\deactivate [deactivated by default]

same thing for [register dll\ocx] having all *.dll *.ocx auto suggested but not selected by default...

most of the parameters should be pre suggested for default parameters.

same for entries ini

date: "...." (by system date\time)

language: "English" (by Default)

version: "1.0" (by Default)

of course you make the "auto suggest" an optional feature in each tab or global in the general window

the tool is looking Good

thanks

rs90,

just a note to say THANKS for a great tool.

:thumbsup_anim:

Good idea, I also suggest making these groups configurable via an ini file so we can add our own custom ones.

Also you could get some great ideas from this tool - INF Assistant:

Edited February 15, 200916 yr by jfcarbel

the "scan from:" can be from another location so it can be something other then system DIRID's ... ???

and more:

scan from:{ [%DIRID%] or ["Browse" ..to none DIRID] } { [..Mozilla Firefox..]<->[add destination box] or [browse-Select] }

Hi wallace1,

thank you for your translation.

@all

i have installed a Wiki in english for english Users: http://rs90.german-winlite.de/en/index.php/Main_Page

It is yet not complete in english, i must translate ...

That's a very good idea. I would make some changes if you want.

I'll report you some problem that I encountered when generating the inf file. Syntax problem generally.

Here are the problems when I check the inf file using FGCBA :

- Unrecognized command in the UnregisterDLL section :

[UnRegister.DLL]
16422\Nero\Nero 9\Nero Burning ROM\.\regsvr32.exe /u /s NeroStarter.dll

but like that it works well :

[UnRegister.DLL]
REGSVR32 /u /s %16422%\Nero\Nero 9\Nero Burning ROM\NeroStarter.dll

- There are empty spaces between the copyfiles section names that generate an error when checking the inf file with FGCBA :

[install]

OptionDesc = %AppName%

Tip = %Beschreibung%

Modes =0,1,2,3

RegisterDlls=Nero9.2.6.register

RegisterDlls=Create.EmptyDirectorys

CopyFiles=RootOrdner1.Copy, UnterOrdner1.Copy, UnterOrdner2.Copy,........

but like that it works well :

CopyFiles=RootOrdner1.Copy,UnterOrdner1.Copy,UnterOrdner2.Copy,........

- These commands also generate errors with FGCBA :

[Create.EmptyDirectorys]
11,,cmd.exe,,,"/q /c md ""%16422%\Nero"""
11,,cmd.exe,,,"/q /c md ""%16422%\Nero\Nero 9"""

But perhaps FGCBA is limited with order management, exceptions and errors. It's a very useful tool yet

That's all

Support will be here (English) or at "German-WinLite.de" (only German)

I would be happy about any Feedback and Suggestions

PS: I speak not good english, sorry

I tried your tool (v1.0.4.2) recently with 1 simple addon task and have some feedback and suggestions:

1) In the shortcuts tab, can you translate the Destination menu in English?

I have set the Main Language in your tool to English but still show German Menu.

2) 'Inf Addon Maker.exe' throw up an error message if .Net 2 framework is not installed. It can't be started.

Can you allow your program to start properly even without .Net 2 framework installed?

As far as I know, it is use for .reg conversion to inf format only. You could give user a warning if user tries to convert registry

by placing some warning message in Add Regkey's tab when Net 2 framework is not installed.

3) The created nlited addon (.7z) has the following flaw:

-Entries.ini (As I know, it requires filename like Entries_progname.ini)

-Entries.ini are in Unicode BOM format (using notepad2 to open). It can't be read/parse properly in HFSLIP. (I dun know if it works in nlite/RMVi)

-But if Entries.ini are in UTF-8, it works on HFSLIP,RMVi and nlite (Have tested this myself)

-Can you create Entries_progname.ini in UTF-8 format instead?

If you have difficulty in translating German to English, maybe let us know so we can help.

Kind regards

Thanks for the reply. This is my feedback and suggestion for the inf syntax. Quiet a list, hope you won't mind...
