Hi all,

i made my first autoit script for testing purpose (ccleaner).

I read the whole internet for days but i cant find what the next step is to integrate my addon with nlite.

My question will be then :
What should i do with the 2 files I created.
One file is the ccleaner.exe file en the other is the autoit script file.
Is it something like this : create with cabpack a cab file consisting just out of these 2 files en add this within nlite ?
I would appreciate it if someone can explain this in newbie language :)


Another question is:
ccleaner.exe is one file. If I want to make another addon for a program that consist out of say for 20 files (within is a setup.exe file),
should i repack this to a single exe file ? If this is the case, how can i do this ?

Thanks in advance for all help..

Please notice that i am a totally newbie on nlite / autoit matters.

Since it's for testing purposes, it doesn't matter which application you choose, but the question still arises why you would want to create a script for installing CCleaner, which you can simply install silently by supplying the right parameters? Just wondering.

I don't know much about making addons since I make my own silent installers for HFSLIP, but you'll need to compile the script for starters. You'll have to make an ENTRIES.INI-file to install your addon. See here for an example. Also, download some of the pre-made addons and see how those are built, that should help you enough I believe to be able to make your own addon.

I don't believe that you have to, but see the link I posted above, download one of the pre-build addons and have a look. I believe you simply have to add all the files to one folder and use the before mentioned INI-file to install your addon.
