This stopped happening when I unchecked use exe icon

Nice program. It kind of sucks that I have to disable my anti virus to use it though. Is there any way you could pack it differently or something?

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Sat Apr 10, 2010 5:42 pm

@Requi3m : That's because the UPX compression. I'll see what can be done about that. About the icon problem, it depends of how big is teh installer you are creating. It can't just stop, with no error message.

Can I help with getting the dutch translation in it?

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Mon Apr 12, 2010 4:04 pm

@sandertju : Sure ! Just register to my forum, i will make you a member of Translation Team and after you can post your translation there

sandertju · Post by **sandertju** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 10:42 am

Well, I've just exceeded the amount of regristration. That's because the verification image is freaking unreadable

.

Can you read that or is that just Firefox?

Tryed about 15 times to get a READABLE code, but didn't get one..

If you want to laugh, go your game

.

Also I have a question/idea, could you make an option to put registry files in the installer? Or is that inpossible to do?:)

It froze on that part with no error message. The installer wasn't that big. It was the installer for either the vc++ 2005 or 2008 runtimes. I don't remember which. Maybe I was doing something wrong?

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Sun Apr 18, 2010 5:24 am

@sandertju :

definitely unreadable. I check captcha settings.
EDIT : Fixed that one. Way more readable now

@requi3m : Run SFXMaker with the "/debug" switch and post the log it will generate.

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Sun Jul 11, 2010 5:40 pm

hi jsp,

I'm actually working on 1.2 Final right now. I will update everything that is updatable plus some improvments and fixes. I cannot give you a certaind date, but i hope it will be soon released.

Later Edit : Actually, is 1.2.1 Final

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Fri Jul 16, 2010 5:51 pm

Just a quick note

1.2.1 Final will be the last version that will be written in AutoIT. I'm planning to translate the entire code to Delphi code, because of the advantages of an OOP language.

Apps are like people. Each app is better at some things than others. I use SFXMaker for some installers and WinRar for others. Each app has it's strong points and should be used according to your needs. Sometimes I build the installer with WinRar and use SFXMaker to create the Addon. Like I said, you go with what works best for you. There's 50 different ways to make a switchless/Addon. I have an entire toolkit of about a dozen different apps I use to pack these things up. There are no rules set in stone......

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Sun Nov 07, 2010 12:12 pm

Soooooo ...

I know that i've been late with the development. The final version is almost ready, i've been working on it since i released the current version. But due to the fact that i was too lazy, i was unable to finalize it.

For future, i don't know what will happen. I'm learning C++ now and maybe i will try to implement SFXMaker in C++, because it is a much more faster environment. However, no promises !

Updated to final version !

Waiting feedback, PMs and messages

You put a wide smile on my face

Anyway, receiving feedback is important, i felt like i'm working on an application that no one was using, or at least almost no one.

Thanks for your kind message

In some cases, no news is good news. This has been working great for me. Thanks for the time you spent on this. I'll report back if I have any issues.

The download is still the beta file. The Softpedia link is 404.

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Thu Feb 02, 2012 2:24 pm

Just go to www.isoft-online.com and go to download page. There are the links for RC1.

I don't know what happened to Softpedia link.

Hello,

I wonder if you can help me, I know this is most likely not the right the place to ask and I am sorry.

I am trying to make an Office 2003 nLite addon and so far I have failed miserably. I have my own administrative point created and I tried with the second tab "Directory" , chose the directory with the files and setup exe. I am using "TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" as a switch for the setup, and then tick "Create nLite Addon", Create. It integrates fine, but fails to install.

Please tell me what to do next!

Many thanks

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Fri Feb 10, 2012 2:47 am

Hi,

I never made an Office installer with SFXMaker, but there are users who successfully created it. There's a nice tutorial on YouTube created by ssx4life for this. Take a look :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSMJLnRjn94

Hope it helps !

kolp · Post by **kolp** » Wed Feb 15, 2012 6:43 am

iuli_kyle, thanks for your response!

my problem is successfully creating the nlite addon, the switchless is fine.

iuli_kyle · Post by **iuli_kyle** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 10:27 am

What is your problem, more exactly ?

I mean, is the addon created? Does nLite integrates it successfully ?

If i remember right, nLite is copying the switchless installer to SVCPACK folder and adds the entries to svcpack.inf. I don't know for sure, but i think Office cannot install corectly during T-13 (when svcpack.inf entries are executed) during Windows Setup.

You should install it after Windows is installed (via GuiRunOnce section, for example) or you can use WPI.

I have a bug repost - your latest (also I tried previous builds) aren't compatible with addons / installers made with SFX 1.5.

I was having issues with two .7z installers made by ricktendo, and as you can see here for example, I cannot use your app to add th arguments needed to make those installers run silently (the same for .net 4.5 from here or visual runtimes from here).

Please investigate this issue. Hope you won't mind, but I'll also send this via mail, as I consider it an important bug. Thanks.
