Thanks.

I take it that's the reason your proggie can't find my winrar installation because it's not @ C:\Program Files ??? Can the coding be changed?

rootfile

I am pretty sure it is possible. If you share your script I can take a look at it and see if I can create a removal for it. ;) Here you go, but the thing is, this has to be the last thing that is run: DirCreate("C:\Backup") FileMove(@WindowsDir & "inf\accessor.PNF", "C:\Backup", 8) FileMove(@Window...

I've searched and been unable to find an addon that deletes unneeded windows files and folders after a clean install such as Program Files\Online Services; system32\dllcache, etc. I know this stuff is a matter of personal preference so I've written an autoit script that does this because I keep find...

But if you do have a problem with download limits you can always us a download manager and specify another location on your disk to save the file. Maxthon may do this automatically. I don't know.

The reason we all use personal computers is because we can set them up according to our personal tates. That said, this addon does not promote the improper use of a ramdisk: i.e.,subsitituting a ramdrive for the Windows pagefile in an attempt to boost speed. Instead, this ramdrive addon helps increa...

ricktendo64, you're right: most of the icon libararies, including moreicons.dll count sequentially, starting with zero. But my experience is that shell32.dll--which contains most of the windows icons, like help, information, folders, drives and the like--doesn't behave that way, perhaps because it h...

rootfile

@ricktendo64 "if anybody knows ..." MOREICONS.DLL are the XP versions of the old Windows v3.1 icons. Shell32.dll contains most of the modern Windows XP system icons. But shell32.dll behaves differently from most icon libraries. For instance, in the addon I made for SIW, the information icon on shell...

On my puter, MS already has a version dao360.dll in %programfiles%Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO. I've been testing InstallRite without the older DAO. And I haven't encountered any problems yet.

rootfile

I'm sure you are right about the .dll not being hard coded. I'm just talking about a quick and dirty cut and paste job on an existing addon. You could probably move the .dll to the new path with the rest of the program files but then you'd have to test it and probably have to remove the DAO.Files fi...

rootfile

OK. Just to bring this thread to a close & help anyone else who had my dilemma, if you want to install an addon to another path other than the default program files directory, you insert; -1,"D:\XXX" in the appropriate fields under [DestinationDirs] where D:\XXX is the full path to the installation ...

rootfile

OK. So is Main.App the only place I need to put the new path (and presumablly do a search and deletion of 16422 throughout the inf file)? Thanks again.

rootfile

16422 is replaced with %MyDir%, where's the complexity?

rootfile

If I create a string called %dir% pointing to, say, D:\MyApps , and substituted it for every instance of 16422 in your inf. Would your addon still work? I tried testing it in my usual manner by right clicking on the inf and browsing for the directory containing the cabinet install files. But this ti...

@ Signet May 08, 2007. I actually think dating would be more useful in the Entries.ini file, where I've seen dates listed as 2007/01/07, 07/01/2007. etc., which defeats the utility of the hotfix/addon column sorting feature in nLite because you can't reliably sort by date because of the different fo...

Now the startup folder is a tough one, if there is only one shortcut present it might delete the folder (try 0x00000003) OK. Thanks.

rootfile

But what would be the code for deleting a shortcut in the startup folder. Or is that possible without deleting other shortcuts in the folder?

rootfile

Most any icon editor (Microangelo and Axialis are some of the better ones) will create icon libaries, usually in some proprietary file format; just change the file extension to a .dll file and in your inf layout assign the icons to the shortcuts by number, i.e. icon.dll,3--will display the third ico...

It just needs two improvements: 1) Needs to incorporate Bill James' .vbs sendto script which will allow you to send shortcuts to the "Desktop", "MyDocuments", "SendTo", "StartMenu", or "Startup" folder (I deleted MyDocuments from the script because you really don't want to send shortcuts there). 2) ...

This is for xp and Windows 2000. But as far as I know, that wouldn't affect the script unless I wanted to make it exclusively Windows 2000 and XP by removing the "Chicaco" header reference.

OK. :shock: :shock: I put in the cab file name reference. But still having trouble. I think it's because the install has a popup display at the end of installation that requires user intervention. Anyway, here's the code I'm using now. Any advice is greatly appreciated: [Version] signature = $CHICAG...

rootfile

Well looks like that addition doesn't do it either unless I'm making the cab file wrong. I've created an almost switchless installer (I just can't kill the readme display windows after sendto installs). That's why I want to directly integrate an addon. This shouldn't be that difficult.

I'll try it. Thanks.
