many people try to find a way to look their .NFO and .DIZ files and this post want to help...

most of you will use **** NFO Viewer. it's a nice app but not for our unattended needs. you'll need to search for the .msi version of the installer (here) together with the /qb and /qn switches...

today i found another nice application with the same purpose, Flyingcode NFO-Viewer 1.0. this one has more possibilities, better. it uses inno setup.

nfoviewer-setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NOCANCEL

i wanted to go 1 step further, you know those files are created to be viewed under DOS, we're going to do it so we don't need to waste space on our unattended cd... just add this entries in one of your command files.

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.nfo" /VE /D "ASCII" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.diz" /VE /D "ASCII" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\ASCII\DefaultIcon" /VE /D "%WINDIR%\system32\shell32.dll,70" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\ASCII\shell\open\command" /VE /D "EDIT.COM /R /H \"%%L\"" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\ASCII\shell\edit\command" /VE /D "EDIT.COM /H \"%%L\"" /F

solved a little mistake on the code. check this thread for more.
