andrewpayne Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Download Resource Hacker - then open up setup.exe from the root of the Windows XP CDROM - you can then explore the settings and commands from there.Try experimenting by changing the existing as it is much more difficult to add commands - it is well worth it!

SpaceShip Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 one more tip, in the case that you master progromming skills, you can try to create your own install welcome screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewpayne Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Why reinvent the wheel? MS have produced an excellent 'setup.exe' - you can (with Resource Hacker) change the bitmaps, logos, icons and links/paths to executables and web pages.I cannot see any reason why you would want to create a new 'Welcome Installer' from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
