I like my skined Winamp with plug-ins ready for use on new windows

RunOnceEX.cmd

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "WINAMP 5.091" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WINAMP_5\Winamp5091.msi /qn INI=\"%systemdrive%\Install\WINAMP_5\winamp.ini"" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WINAMP_5\PLUG-IN\plug-in.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WINAMP_5\SKINS\install.bat" /f

LINK for MSI

plug-in.exe made with AutoIt it contains

Just thought I'd comment on this...

Most Winamp Plugins are simple DLL files that are extracted into the Plugin Folder in the Winamp Directory. That being said, you could install all your Plugins and then create a new SFX file that installs them all and possibly save some space on your CD.

There is no registration needed for the DLL files as they're parsed at runtime by Winamp. If you're concerned about where to install the plugins, you have a couple of options..

The MSI is capable of using the INSTALLDIR property to change the default path to one you specify and then use that in the SFX.
You could also USE the default path and have %ProgramFiles%\Winamp as the path for the SFX.

And on the note of adding your own settings prior to startup, ALL settings for Winamp's internals are saved in studio.xnl and Winamp.ini both located in Winamp's main directory. You could preset how you like Winamp, and copy those over as well.

Right Alanoll. I am currently using your MSI and making a 7-zip sfx for plugins, etc. that I use with winamp. I might even make an inno setup with winamp and plugins I want in order to simplify having two exes..

I'm kindy lazy right now though...
