Maybe it's because I put all the hotfixes on just one run of nLite, right now I first put the hotfixes, waited for nLite to finish and then use nLite again to integrate the addons. I'll report what happens.

EDIT: Now the installer got stuck T-13 for like 33 minutes; or is it just that it takes that long?

Unless your very careful to not change any options at all you can only run nLite once.

Great job with all the switchless installers. Are you working on an update to the VMware Tools package based on VMware Workstation v5.5.2.29772?

Thanks again for all the hard work

New version of : VirtualDub 1.6.16.24463

I use VirtualDubMod 1.6.0.0 Surround myself , cause it can handle ac3
How can i put this in your installer myself?

VMTools is out of date also

@muiz, I would recommend you read this

@All, there is no need to make a post regarding updates. I'm aware of when everything posted here gets updated. There are many factors that go into when I decide to update an installer. As you may or may not know, I have a lot of other things going on other than these installers. Also I am in the process of creating WPI Addons for most of the titles listed here and creating single thread per title posts over at my forums.

I include VirtualDubMod in my installer. When I make a new one, the Mod will be updated as well.

Seeing that you either:

Don't bother to read my posts when I state that I am aware of when things are updated

Are intentionally trying to annoy me by telling me anyway

VirtualDub and VMTools are now dead last on my list of things to do.

Update - 20060907
Updated AutoGordianKnot to V2.32
Updated Crap Cleaner to V1.32.345
Updated FileZilla to V2.2.27
Updated Paint.NET to V2.72
Updated QuickTime Alternative to V1.75
Updated Real Alternative to V1.50
Updated RogueSpear's Runtimes Installer to V1.4
Added RogueSpear's Other Runtimes V1.0
Added Spyware Terminator V1.5.00.740

Maintenance Updated IrfanView
Maintenance Updated Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit Tools
Maintenance Updated Microsoft Office 2003 Resource Kit Tools

The maintenance updates are not version updates. There is no change in functionality or configuration. These three installers are some of my earlier efforts so I simply repackaged the switchless silent installers replacing StartX.exe with RunHiddenConsole.exe and added the appropriate meta data to the exe files. Also I made RVM/nLite Addons for these installers.

Hey, love the work you're doing Rogue. One question:

On my Aunt's sad crappy Compaq machine, she runs an XP SP2 that's been heavily fubar'd by the good folks at Compaq/HP.

I downloaded a number of your SSIs to a thumb for the purpose of cleaning things up, including the runtimes installer you made.
I installed it along with a few other things, did a restart, and XP died. It demanded full reinstallation and refused to be of any use until I did.

Is there any problem with running the runtimes installer in the full OS? If so, is there a way I can run it post-os-restore and not have a problem? If there is not, should I just grab the other runtimes installers or make do as I can with the app manu's installers? Much prefer yours, as they're easy to deal with. Anyhow, thanks again for all your hard work.

For quite some time I did have a warning to NOT run any of the runtimes installers that contain .NET 2.0 from anywhere other than svcpack. Then I received several reports from people that they tried it on an existing machine and it worked so... I removed the warning.

The issue is that normally, you cannot install .NET 2.0 from svcpack. In order to do this you need to make a registry change, install .NET 2.0, then change the registry back to the way it was. In theory it should all work out no matter where you install it from, but I did have problems myself; hence the warning.

I cannot say this for sure, but my guess is that if something interrupts the install process, the registry setting modified will not get changed back to it's original setting and this is what's screwing things up. I'll be sure to put the warning message back in again as there is obviously great potential for this to not work from anywhere other than svcpack.
