@Jedi82, probably the best to go about what you want to do is to find out the registry settings and make a .reg file for import after Winamp has installed. I'm sure a lot of people do this already with their registration code to enable to Pro features, so it could just be tossed into the same file for import.

@coucou, I thought we went through most of this back around page 2 of this thread.. take a look at this post from my guide to RIS for the proper usage of NirCmd in VBscript.

If you follow the instructions.. putting the installer in \OEM, it should run fine for you. I am not about to alter the script. It works fine for me and always has. If you want to put things in another directory you are going to have to do that on your own. I think when I update this installer I will not include any script at all and just let people implement it as they see fit.

RogueSpear, any plans to make a silent installer and/or msi for CDBurnerXP Pro?

Also, can somebody PM the msi for IrfanView 3.98 and TrueCrypt 4.1?

Thanks!

[RogueSpear]

I did make one a while back for the latest release of CD Burner XP Pro, but I'm unable to locate it now. I'll have to make it again I think. It looks as though CD Burner is on the really slow track for an upgrade. Too bad too, because I always liked the program. I lost the msi file for IrfanView, so I'll just rebuilt the project tonight and post it again. And as far as TrueCrypt goes, I just have not gotten that far down the line in transferring things over.

On another note. I now have new hosting, so there is likely to be some down time with the items that I currrently host. The interruption should be minimal.

RogueSpear,

Thanks for the prompt response and update. I look forward to the MSIs. In the meantime I think I am going to learn more about making my own MSIs. Any suggestions on good software to aid with this?

Take care!

Right in post #1 of this thread.. I use InstallShield AdminStudio. There is Wise Package Studio, which I haven't tried it out in quite some time, but I really wasn't too impressed with it a couple of versions ago. Who knows, it may have improved a bit. Then there's a relatively newer product, ScriptLogic Installer Design Studio. Even though it's up to version 3, this is the first version that I am aware of. I gave it a try and found the interface to be incredibly convoluted and confusing. But that's only my opinion, other's may think it's great because it seems to be geared a little more towards people who are new to this topic. What I can't say is how good of a job it does because I never got that far with it.

For application repackaging, transform file creation, and direct .msi editing, AdminStudio is really at the top in my book. It's outrageously expensive. Nearly criminal in my mind. I was lucky enough to have my primary employer spring for it. Those who are not so fortunate will realistically need to seek out other solutions unless they're independantly wealthy or something.

ScriptLogic Installer Design Studio has started it's life as of version 3 but was acquired from masai solutions and used to be called Masai Installer. The program did not get to version 3 overnight . Just thought you would like to know.

[RogueSpear]

Ok I was wondering how in the world that would have slipped by me I usually keep up on what ScriptLogic puts out there even though I've never really been that fond of their products. I had never tried out Masai before.

EDIT: Considering it's price however, it gets major points from me. It may not be AdminStudio, but not too many can really afford that. And I fear with Macrovision having aquired InstallShield, only bad things will come of that product.

Update - 20060116
Added DAEMON Tools V4.03HE

In my second round of testing I noticed that the shortcut creation part of my installer for DT4 is flawed. If there does not already exist a folder named CD-R in the All Users Start Menu, then the shortcut will be missing. If you install A-Ray Scanner or any number of the DVD oriented installers I have posted, then the shortcut will be created just fine (since the CD-R folder is already there). If the shortcut is missing for you, the program will still run just fine.

I'll get an update posted at some point, but it's not high on priority list at the moment.

There is no need for that if you use a patched uxtheme.dll

Daemontools is acting weird , when it installs it does this :

Strange, it doesn't do that for me. I've used it almost a dozen times on as many different machines too.

[muiz]

I install daemontools at a different point now , and now it works.


Your version works great now RogueSpear, thx !

Yea this based on the new 7.0.4 QuickTime and I think Apple is having problems with it. They released an uninstaller / downgrader so that people can go back to 7.0.1 I think. I'm going to hold off and see if they release a "fixed" 7.0.5 which should then spurn the release of a new QuickTime Alternative.

Added GrabIt V1.5.3 Build 909
Added Windows Live Messenger V8.0.0365


I'm seriously starting to get burned out on this, not to mention I'm way behind at work and on some other projects. I'm going to finally start work on Nero 7. My plan is to make 3 or 4 installers for Nero. The main installer that just installs Nero Burning ROM itself, and then others that would require the first be installed already. I'm thinking one would have NeroVision, Cover Editor, and Wave Editor. Another would be InCD only, and the last would be everything else except BackItUp and ImageDrive (both useless in my book). This way there are some choices as to what you want or don't want, but I'm not going to deviate and make custom packages for people. I'm not even certain that I'll be able to do right what it is I want to do.

[Dumpy Dooby]

How do you make these? What do you have in your config.txt when you're creating the SFX file? What method do you use for the custom shortcuts? Can you write a guide so people like me can make our own installers for programs that aren't on your list? I DEMAND ANSWERS! :-P
