was wondering if you would like right click to this. I don't like the drag to desk or whatever and have had the right click for awhile. I just added .msi to it. Anyway's since I couldn't use the previous Installer I created an Inno Installer with the reg settings and see if someone was interested

Indentify Installer does what USSF does and more. Instant results with rightclick.
USSF was a nice inspiration.

yes.gif It has been out classed now. yes.gif
1boredguy
the switch finder said, "this is a selfextracting RAR archive. The RAR comment contains the setup script."

so i look at the commend. and all it says is:

;The comment below contains SFX script commands
Setup=setup.exe
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1



can someone tell me what this means? what the switch is? or atleast what type of installer this is.


thanks for any reply welcome.gif

1. Identify Installer, is one of the inbuilt features of CMenu.
2. Even better.
3. As of version 1.5
- Improved detection rates. As USSF is missing some known installers.
- Ability to list, unpack, admin installs, record installs, silent installs, create AutoIt scripts...all from the Identify Installer window.
- Rightclick, for fast results.

For more benefits. Check it out for yourself.
Any further questions, will only be answered, in the CMenu topic. I do not want to hijack Zosters thread.

This one is good, thank for this program. Wow, each week I find new excitting stuff in this board ! smile.gif

I prefer USSF, because it is standalone, your program need to be installed and came with a ton of features I dont want. May I suggest you release a lighter version ?

Thanks for the great tool. One question though. What should I add to the registry in order to have a 'find silent switch' on the right click? I tried

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\Find Silent Switch\command]
@="\"USSF.exe\" \"%1\""

But I just get a window asking me to pick the file...

Try CMenu.

"Sorry, unknown installer."

Still useless to me , sorry no offence

Using CMenu to allow access to USSF from explorer context menu, however no matter what i do with the "%1" switch, or where i put it, USSF always asks for the location of the installer. How do append the file name to USSF?

This is a little program that can automatically determine which silent switches can be used with a setup file.

It uses PEiD which can be found here.

Put the PEiD.exe in same folder as USSF.exe

Start USSF.exe and select the setup exe file.

Hopefully it will tell you which switches to use newwink.gif


-17.02.05 small update since helper.bin download didn't work anymore-




All I get is this everytime I select an installer:
[what am I doing wrong please?]

Im getting a "sorry, unknown installer" for almost every setup file I analyse, can this be solved or is it just that the program does not have a wide enough application compatability.


thnx

:hello:
Hi, I have changed the beginning of ussf.au3 to check, if it got a file as parameter (rightclick and open with ussf).
And also to check where peid.exe is sitting (3 locations: scriptdir (dir of ussf), windowsdir and systemdir)
Only 1 file is checked, so no multiselect please. If more files are selected prior to rightclick the one under the mouse is checked.

Don't know if this code is the most recent. But I hope you get the point.
If anyone has newer versions please update in order to have those rightclick-feature often mentioned in this thread.
To use it, import this:
CODE

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\Identify with USSF\command]
@="\"C:\\Windows\\ussf.exe\" \"%1\""

I don't know. Try to unpack with Universal Extractor and see what message appear.
Or provide a link for download (if is available).

If you have multiple files (not just an installer) forget about Universal Extractor.
And if that program is not available for download somewhere I can't help you.

If you search the website of Business object, then you may find they have good support to answer you question. I downloaded a PDF here that shows you a picture of the installation and I can see InstallShield branded on the window. It also tells you where to get information about silent install by searching for KB article c2014706 found here which lists InstallShield switches to use. The website seems to require IE to view so use IETab in Firefox or IE to view.

If PEiD does not identify it then you will need to search for switches yourself. Look for branding etc when starting a manual installation to notice installer type used. Only several installer types support switches thus automation or repacking... etc may need to occur for unattended installation for those that do not support switches.
