Hi all
you see "Universal Extractor 1.6.1 Build 59"

FAQ

Q: whether it is possible for the sfx archive to create a password that is the usual starting sfx archives as it does not ask himself introduced, and when you try to just unpack it asked for the password

A: It is impossible. Modules with this support is not available officially. While using his "power", I give these modules only to those who helped me / puts some effort in the development of the module, references to it and related files. Consider it my selfishness.

You can help me make it (Sfx add password)

I'm at a loss on how to extract something to C:\ProgramData\ on Vista/7 or "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\" on XP.

I do know the path is stored in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders (the entry which contains the path is 'Common AppData')

But if I do a reg query and attempt to copy the file to the location I got from the registry, the environment variable isn't converted to a path, so instead of copying the files to "C:\ProgramData\" the batch will consider "%ProgramData%" as a folder name instead of a variable. The same happens on XP, except the default value of the entry is "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data"

I haven't found a way to reparse the variable to get the actual path.


This is what I'm using to query the registry

FOR /F "tokens=3* delims=	 " %%A IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v "Common AppData"') DO SET extractpath=%%B

What I need is a way to reparse %extractpath% to get the full path instead of the environment variable.


The reason I can't just type the path on the SFX config is because it needs to work on every Windows locale and it also needs to work whether the value of "Common AppData" is the default or not.

Edit: Nevermind. I can get the full path from "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders"


Anyone looking for something similar this is what I've come up with. Not sure if it's the easiest/best option but...

RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /C FOR /f \"tokens=3*\" %a IN ('REG QUERY \"HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders\" /v \"Common Appdata\" ^| findstr /c:\"Common Appdata\"') DO XCOPY \"%temp%\\Whatever_folder_or_file_Im_copying" \"%b\\Folder\" /H /E /Y"

The above code will copy something from "%temp%\Whatever_folder_or_file_Im_copying" to "C:\ProgramData\Folder" on Windows Vista or newer.
On XP/2k3 it will copy from "%temp%\Whatever_folder_or_file_Im_copying" to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Folder" or the equivalent 'Common AppData' folder on non-english versions of Windows.

Everything is much easier ...

RunProgram="hidcon:XCOPY \"%temp%\\Whatever_folder_or_file_Im_copying\" \"%7zSfxFolder35%\\Folder\" /H /E /Y"

The value of the variable:
Win XP

7zSfxFolder35=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data

Win 7

7zSfxFolder35=C:\ProgramData

@Gora,

Thanks! Is there a handy link to the list of all the built-it variables and their definitions?

Cheers and Regards

[gora]

2 bphlpt

You can create this list yourself...

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="cmd /c @echo off& set& pause>nul"
AutoInstall="hidcon:cmd /c set>%SystemDrive%\\vars.txt"
; This SFX archive was created using "Button for creation and work with 7z SFX archives v4.1.4.1919 [x64]" 19.03.2012 13-22. The last version of "Button" you can find on http://buttontc.7zsfx.info
;!@InstallEnd@!

[bphlpt]

OK Thanks!

Cheers and Regards

Win XP

7zSfxFolder35=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data

Win 7

7zSfxFolder35=C:\ProgramData

I cant really add one variable for each WinXP locale and the 'Common AppData' folder may also be stored on another location.

Edit: Just realized what you meant, and yes, extracting to %7zSfxFolder35% is a lot better than what I was doing.

Question, can I run a cmd command to kill a process BEFORE extracting the files to InstallPath=?

No. Only AFTER extracting.

[Escorpiom]

I'm testing the latest 7z SFX "all" module, but sometimes there's an error:

Insufficient physical memory available. Extracting might take a long time

Given the fact that this is a silent install, it would be nice if there was some method to suppress this message?

Cheers,

[gora]

Escorpiom, on 23 March 2012 - 01:13 PM, said:

MiscFlags="x"

1 - do not check the disk space required for the extraction process
2 - do not check the size of physical memory required for the extraction process
4 - ...
8 - ...

Flags can be added, for example, MiscFlags="1+2"

[Escorpiom]

Thanks gora, that solves it!

Cheers.

2 Oleg_Sch,

I am using version 1.5.0.2367 of the modified module on XP SP3 x86.
I created a config.txt with Language Sections.
By chance, there were syntax errors in the Language Sections, but the Main Section was without any syntax errors.
After I made the SFX with this config.txt, I tested it by running the SFX with the language switch -sfxlang:nnnn.
The software was installed but the language section was NOT run. There were NO error messages.
Usually, if the main section has syntax errors there is an error message giving the line number where the syntax error is located.
After I corrected the syntax error in the config.txt and rebuilt the SFX. I tested again with the language switch and the result was that the software was installed and the language section WAS run.
So, I think this would be a bug. Shouldn't the module give a similar error message for syntax errors in the language sections of the config.txt?
Otherwise it appears as if the installation is complete, including the language section parameters.

Thanks again, for a very useful tool.

1 Show your config file (with errors)
2 Give the step by step instructions to reproduce the bug.

First, I am sorry but my description of the issue in my previous post is not correct.
So, ignore my previous post completely.
After more testing, this particular syntax error is not detected by the module at all.
It doesn't matter if it is in the main section or a language section of the config.txt.
I am sorry if this is a previously known limitation of the module.
Therefore, I have reduced the config.txt to:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
GUIMode="2"
MiscFlags="4"
Title="PhotoScape v.3.6.2"
SetEnvironment="app_name=PhotoScape"
SetEnvironment="app_path=%ProgramFiles%\\%app_name%\\"
SetEnvironment="add_reg=rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection PhotoScapeReg.inf,DefaultInstall,3,N"
SetEnvironment="add_files=hidcon:xcopy %app_name%  \"%app_path%\" /s /e /i /y"
RunProgram="%add_files%"
RunProgram="%add_reg%"
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd /c copy Lang\\ar\\lang_3_6.txt\" \"%app_path%\" /y"
Shortcut="P,{%app_path%\\%app_name%.exe},{},{%app_name%},{},{%app_name%}"
Shortcut="Du,{%app_path%\\%app_name%.exe},{},{},{},{%app_name%}"
Shortcut="26,{%app_path%\\%app_name%.exe},{},{Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Quick Launch},{},{%app_name%}"
;!@InstallEnd@!

The syntax error is on line 11. There is \" after lang_3_6.txt (which should not be there.)
This mistake causes line 11 to fail however no error message is ever given by module.
So, apparently the module is not capable of detecting this type of syntax error. ("hanging": \")

Perhaps it could be added to the detection method of the module?

[gora]

2 visegrip

It's not a bug!

Example:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="cmd /k Echo Print one double quote \" "
RunProgram="cmd /k Echo Print two double quotes \" \" "
RunProgram="cmd /k Echo Print three double quotes \" \" \" "
;!@InstallEnd@!

Another example:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
SetEnvironment="prnt=cmd /k Echo Print path \"%programfiles%\\"
RunProgram="%prnt%7-Zip\""
RunProgram="%prnt%Adobe\\Reader 10.0\""
;!@InstallEnd@!

All the lines are correct!

Hmmmm.
I understand both your examples.
Thanks for those.

So, to allow the possibility of your examples, my example is not detected as a syntax error by the module?

Or to say it another way, if line 11 in my example is not a syntax error according to the module--what should be the expected result of line 11?
