Sorry, I'm stuck. Will someone check out the problem I'm having with 7zip? Thanks http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...&st=0&p=403094&

[gelome]

hurray i finally made my first 7zip installer file...adobe acrobat pro with updates slipstreamed. man it was a struggle....hey keytotime just another suggestion u need to add to this excellent guide....this is with regards to the installation done via msi files....heres wht i did with the config.txt ....

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst /qn\""
;!@InstallEnd@!

yes i made a mst file and installed and it workled flawlessly...i had earlier tried without the transform file...it just extracted it...and then nothing....i then checked the office 2003 file that i had made and checked where i was going wrong and realised that i hadn't mentioned the mst file along with msi.

now i am off to conquer nero 7...wish me luck.

OK, this is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to get your config.txt file back if you deleted it after doing the copy command? I've tried running the installer and looking in the temp directory and only the files from the .7z archive are there, and extracting the installer gives me the same thing.

AFAIK, you can't. The files other than the .7z files (7zS.sfx, config.txt) are included in the executable, and not part of the archive that is extracted. That's why when you extract the archive, you only get the contents of the 7-zip file.

You could try this in Command Prompt.

Find /I "RunProgram=" "path\to\file.exe"

Is there a way to create an 7Z installer for winamp.msi (created by moderator alan). Becuase his installer accepts only full path of the INI file during unattended installation.
ex:
winamp.msi INI="%CDROM%\software\applications\Winamp\winamp.ini" /qb-!

Has anyone succeeded in creating an 7z installer with paths being provided using system variables?

Shaggy, you get a Scooby snack! That works like a charm and gives me just what I want. Thanks.

I'm creating a switchless installeer for Poweer DVD, and it works, for the most part... The issue I'm running into is that in the config.txt script

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="program.exe –switch"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Theer's a set of "'s, I need to use anotheer set as the code I need it

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="setup.exe –s -f2"%systeemdrive%\pdvd.log""
;!@InstallEnd@!

It spits an error back at me...

How do I teell it to ignoree the inner "'s..?

[Zxian]

Could it be this?

;!@InstallEnd@!

Should be systemdrive, not systeemdrive.

The keyboard I was using sometimes makes an e appear twice... Sorry... That's not the reason...

[Zxian]

bah... I know why... I was just too tired to realize it.

To enter quotes in commands like that you need to use \".

So...

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="setup.exe –s -f2\"%systeemdrive%\pdvd.log\""
;!@InstallEnd@!

Also... should there be a space between the -f2 switch and the log destination? like the following:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="setup.exe –s -f2 \"%systeemdrive%\pdvd.log\""
;!@InstallEnd@!
