CMenu v2.6
Released 23 August, 2006

CMenu is a handy, context menu extension. Adds a branch to your context menu called More Options.

• Uses PEiD, which is able to recognize installer types, if available in it's the database. Identify Installer uses this information, and is able to popup a window to show parameters associated with that installer. Identify Installer can unpack, admin, record, silent installations, if available. And also create a template AutoIt Script, to suit.
• Includes CMenu Editor. This allows further customizing.
• Files can Execute With Parameters, optional working directory, and allowing for different window states.
• Create a Directory List. Preset options are available, as well as a custom options.
• Create an AutoIt Archive Script, that can be included into your main scripts. This allows AutoIt to act like an archiver.
• Includes PEiD as a separate item also, which allows the user to enhanced, portable executable identification.
• Filenames and paths can be easily sent to the windows clipboard, by using Path To ClipBoard.
• Allows for the user to download and add Resource Hacker or Stud PE. These will be detected, if placed in the correct folder, and will be added to the context menu.
• MyUninstaller is included in CMenu.
• Force Delete is included in CMenu. Use this only, as required. When deleting multiple files, do not do anything, until the operation is complete. A msgbox will popup and will allow, not to proceed. Use at own risk.
• AutoItMacroGenerator is included to handle recording of AutoIt install scripts.
• Reg2Au3 quickly converts Regedit4 type registry files to AutoIt3 syntax.
• Ini2Au3 quickly converts Ini files into AutoIt syntax.
• Constants Generator retrieves the constants declarations that your AutoIt script only needs.
• 7-Zip2Sfx for easily converting 7z archives to self extracting archives.

Identify Installer supercedes USSF for installer identification.


A little project, that I have been working on. Try it out, and see if it is useful for you. Any feedback on any bugs or compliments would be appreciated.

Enjoy

Edit:
Updated the download link.
Added link to CMenu homepage for more detailed information

Also consider SendToA3X which is like CMenu except it uses the builtin SendTo rather then a 3rd party shell extension.

Thanks totoymola,

I may have a new version, in a few days time, with helpfile improvements on using the editor. Maybe the copy to clipboard request. etc etc.

MHz, Great program m8 i know you are still developing it but would there be any way you could change your installer to one that would be possible to install silently

cmenu.exe /silent works

Correct. That is as silent, as it gets.
/? can be used, for help.

Thank for the reply on the silent switch i had tried USSF but it didn't identify it

WOW great program! Extremely useful; love it!

I've been running both of them together on three different computers. No problems. You sure that's where the conflict lies?

Or is it possible that they are conflicting, but not throwing up any errors?

A verbal warning of any conflict, will not be shown, unless it coded, to do so. Changes in the context menu, while using both, is enough notice for a possible conflict.
When a shell problem does happen, it will be Dr.Watson running in the background, doing a crashdump.
When you have 3 healthy systems, it maybe fine, but if some problem, lowers the defenses of your system, that is when any other problems, tend to surface.

The best way to answer this logically? Why have 2 DLLs to do the same task?

These are pictures of CMenu only. With the exact, same task:

 copymove.PNG ( 862bytes ) Number of downloads: 61


 Browse.PNG ( 12.81K ) Number of downloads: 62


This is a builtin feature of the DLL, that CMenu uses.

CMenu does the other DLLs task plus many more. The other DLL is 25% larger, then the CMExt.dll ???
I think my recommendation is a good one. I did not say you could not have both, but do strongly recommend not to.

Updated to version 1.4.
Please see 1st post for information and download link.

perfect!!! that"s what I was definately looking for!!!

Thank you for your hard work!!!

Your welcome

Amazing app, thanks a punch.


(edit: it seems to overwrite any old stuff, lost my "Edit" and "Open with..." options,
Maybe I need to take a closer look on this thread and what it does., hehe)

thats great
expand and makecab is useful too

MHz, can I make a feature request? Can you add the InnoUnpack feature for Inno Setups? I hate doing it thu commandline.

I can see a purpose to add this. I will work on the addition of Innounp.exe. I will consider further additions as well.

Cool. I'll be waiting for your future release.

Here is an inno script i use for repacking the innounp.exe, it adds unpacker to the context menu

Nice work MHz, just a bit of an update, with the latest release of Inno new switches have been added and info available in the ISetup.hlp file if you wanted to update your Inno_Setup.txt

Thanks for the script. I may add innounp directly to Identify Installer. That will innounp, with no Dos box.


Priceless information. I will update. Will be added and noted for Inno Setup 5.1.4 and above.
Also empty /COMPONENTS= is not default components now, instead no components. That could be nasty change, to installations.

Thanks benners.

MHz would you consider changing the installer to an Inno setup?, I would like the option of not installing certain commands, i.e AutoIt and would prefer to do this at the installation stage with the components switch instead of having to delete files\folders and reg entries after the fact.

I also am in the process of cleaning my context menu up and adding the to your Cmenu and would like the option of including these changes into each new build you create.

Thanks
