just messing up things and i found way to work

tested with XnView and Sfx module create with Winrar 3.51
1.use PeID to search the switch http://www.peid.tk
2.add the file (XnView-win-en.exe) into winrar (Right Click -> Add to Archive)
3.select option "Create Sfx archive"
4.select "Best" from "Compression Method"
5.click the advanced tab and select SFX options
6.on general tab take a look "Run After Extraction" and write it "XnView-win-en.exe /VERYSILENT" w/o qoutes
7.on modes tab, Silent mode select to "Hide all" and for Overwrite mode select to "Overwrite all files"
8.(optional)on Text and Icon tab you can use installer icon
9.click OK twice and wait till it finish
10.you got it

the question is can i use this with HFSLIP or nLite?

I use winrar to make things switchless

just add the switch in your sfx

example :

;Het onderstaande commentaar bevat SFX-scriptopdrachten

Setup=quicktimealt168.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1


You can even give it your own icon if you want..

Works on most apps

muiz,

Simple question, as presetup runs the command before extraction, where is the registry file to run it?

Edit:
Rephased question.

Put it in the same folfder as where your setup files are in.

Example :

Or like shark007 does :

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

path=%programfiles%
Setup=regedit /s "%programfiles%\Windows Live Safety Center\wlss.reg"
Silent=1
Overwrite=1


;)

@ ashrafzia

Well if this error is not related with SFX then whats the proper method of installing Windows Media Player 10, XP has Windows Media Player 9 by default installed. I have tried different methods for installing wmplayer10.
1- Created SFX archieve of the Windows Media Player folder in Program files and pasted in $Progs folder , simple , no effect.
2- Added in RunOnceEx.cmd :
Setup=%systemdrive%\install\wm\mp10setup.exe /S /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore /VERYSILENT /SP-
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

remember that mp10setup.exe is SFX Archieve of original mp10setup.exe but dont work.

@ ashrafzia

/VERYSILENT /SP- is not a valid switch for WMP package.

I used to use this with the orig EXE:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\WMP10\mp10setup.exe /C:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /NoPID /DisallowSystemRestore"
