DaRk MaDnEsS · Post by **DaRk MaDnEsS** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 2:13 am

Hello

i wanted to distribute my tool and see what the people want

this tool is the same as banners one but it's a little bit different since this one is full written by cmd

i will start working on it again at the end of this week if you got any bugs i'm ready to fix it

Windows Live Essential Addon Maker V 3.5.3

Some picture of the program on 32 Bit

Start

Select Program

Some picture of the program on 64 Bit

Start

Select Program

Note:

+if you are using 64 bit then the addon would be 64 bit and it may not work fine on 32 bit
+Extract Mode only works on Modified Uninstaller
+Do not Use it one a working machine (i will make a standalone maker soon )
+For using Original Uninstaller you should use the Windows Live Installer Downloader not the offline mode as it will make a real big addon

i hope more will be come

Ver 3.5.3

if not reinstall the suite using the Web installer

and also support for Runonce installer switch
i'm planning also to better use 7zip installer for better config.txt commands
wanna hear your ideas

not sure if this would be possible.. but... support for messenger plus and integrating custom skins and making that skin the default skin for messenger?

and maybe somehow incorporate these two as well

For the Upcoming version 3.6
this will be the latest version before Wave 4 hits on March
this version will have a few fixes for some error in some strings (Nothin serious)
also if you have the full 138 MB the addon maker will work differently
using only exe file + Commands
like this

Code: Select all

/q /NOToolbarCEIP /NOhomepage /Nolaunch /nosearch /AppSelect:Installer,Messenger,Mail,PhotoGallery

and for the Msg Plus
there will be a new addon that have a tutorial on how to add a skin etc .. to it
as making an addon maker of it will require tooo much hard work than it's needed
it will only have a file you add to it
if any one wants any further needs post it in here the version should be ready in a week
or less if i had the time i will be free starting from the next Saturday
so until that i will hear your ideas
thx and i hope you enjoy my tool

In my case, the tool will drop after start "Coninue" just off without warning.
Window closes immediately, sometimes also the folder WLEAM deleted.

The log looks like this:

Code: Select all

 "22.05.2010 - 23:32:59,87 - Start Logging" 
23:32:59,87 - [First Section] Collecting Windows Info
23:32:59,89 - Cache.ini Found in E:\Applications\Common Files\Windows Live\.cache
23:32:59,89 - Processor Architecture x86

I have installed via web-installer.
(Messenger, Writer, Silver Light)

Have I done something wrong or is this a bug?

In itself, the tool would be a beautiful thing, thanks.

what os are you using the cmd shouldn't halt in any way ?

Windows XP Professional x86 SP3 EN-US.
Other information is still of relevance?

I think in "Program Select" I see the 3 lines, then it's closed.
Can I stop the window somehow?

well first extract the exe

you will get a folder and an exe inside it

copy the path to this folder

then in run type cmd

then type cmd /d and then right click and choose paste

then press enter

then type setup.cmd and then try this should stop the windows close

if there is any error tell me and exactly tell me on what step it ends

BrokenZerØ · Post by **BrokenZerØ** » Mon May 24, 2010 6:39 pm

Um, I was irritated easily.

- I'm sure you mean with the exe SETUP.CMD?
- When typing the folder path I came back to the previous boot path.
- I had good luck at times at the end of setup.cmd written a "getch" command, brought nothing.

- Then I simply typed the path to the cmd times, and he stopped at:

Code: Select all

                           ************
                             Page 2:
                           ************

                          Loading Info
'E:\XBOOT\system32\findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command
,
operable program or batch file.

E:\CONTRO~1\ADMINI~1\Desktop\WLEAM3.5>

Mhh, I am afraid it is on my Windows version, as some have pulled out with Nlite.
Or is there still hope?

I also think many programmers make the mistake of relying on Windows - Board funds.

EDIT: I remember. I had removed the entire CMD Tools with Nlite.
Can I download somewhere new? I find it nowhere.

I thank you first for 3.5.1.

Now I get to point the error message:

Code: Select all

(...\...\) findstr.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

The message I know somewhere ...
But I know now not just a how to fix it.

I think the exe needs perhaps some additional DLLs.
I am looking for an architecture description of findstr.exe.

EDIT: Ah, I think I have the solution.
The file is from a Win7 installation.
The file version information, it told me.

WinXP needs the file with version: 5.1.2600.0

In your program you could build a query system which is used.
Accordingly, then click the respective link exe, done.

ok try now

it will ignore the findstr if not exist that should fix the problem

Um, still the same error.
Strangely ...

You like trying to see with the 5.1 version please?
I think that it will be...

So yes my proposal to integrate the system-specific files.
Has the advantage that anyone can use it, regardless of system and board-Tools.

As I said, the trouble-free use of board resources can never be guaranteed.
Then inherent in the whole cause an additional error source.
(How well could now find me ..)

But still way it works already times, what is a good way.
Therefore, the point release of my "modification".

So just a tip on my part.
The whole thing is still a good job.

If you like I can continue to test it for you.
I'm waiting for 3.5.4

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm trying all the methods provided by this tool and every time I'm coming up with a 158 MB file of the Switchless DaRkMaDnEsS-WLMess.exe.

What about you guys do you have the same file size.

P.S. I'm adding only windows live messenger nothing else.

Thanks.

use Modified Uninstaller

the reason for the size that you installed the program from the full installer

the one with 140 mb size

if you installed it with the custum it wouldn't make it that big

nop

you need to choose modified installer and it will ask you if you want to tweak it

then run A-Patch on it

Hi
I've just tried the addon maker on the latest version of messenger 2011 on a x64 Seven ultimate OS : I've an error message telling there's an incompatibility with 64bits OS; so can't continue addon making with 3.5.3 version.
Thx for your job.

DaRk MaDnEsS · Post by **DaRk MaDnEsS** » Tue Oct 12, 2010 10:53 am

well it should work on 64 bit

but it won't work with Messenger 2011

i need to work on v 4 that works on 2011 edition but sadly i don't have time

so this version is for the v14 etc edition's only won't work on any other than that

drzpapi1985 · Post by **drzpapi1985** » Sun Jan 23, 2011 9:20 pm

its not working, it stays choose your programs from the list but i only see continue and end. if i press continue it just takes me to another page etc.
Does anyone have just the live messenger 2011 silent installer?

Vista · Post by **Vista** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 1:31 pm

does this work for Windows XP ??, does Live wave v4 works >?
