[PROBLEMCHYLD]

I have a few folders that i would like to become exe files
so all the content thats in the folder can install/register unattended create proper shortcuts
(it cuts down install time)
so i don't have 2 manually replace the files 1x1
but i don't know how to run scripts nor make exe files
thats where you guys come in
Can i please get some assistance

[eidenk]

inf + iexpress or Inno Setup or any other installer of your choice.

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

Batch file and PKZIP would also do the job of copy files and registering OCXs and DLLs.

these files don't copy to the %windir%\System beacuse they are in use
how do i force them?

browseui.dll
browselc.dll
MYDOCS.DLL
SHELL32.DLL
SYNCUI.DLL

[Fredledingue]

Add the lines in autoexec.bat
reboot
delete the lines.

See BigOpenBox manual installation...

That's where inf + iexpress comes handy as this will use wininit to replace at reboot the files that can't be copied because they are in use.

[PROBLEMCHYLD]

I'm have them all set up in a bat.file
how do i make them inf+iexpress

Try this as an .inf file (No guarantee it will work properly as untested) :

[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"

[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles = copy.files
RegisterOCXs=Register.files

[copy.files]
browseui.dll,4
browselc.dll,4 
MYDOCS.DLL,4
SHELL32.DLL,4
SYNCUI.DLL,4

[Register.files]
%11%\browseui.dll
%11%\browselc.dll 
%11%\MYDOCS.DLL
%11%\SHELL32.DLL
%11%\SYNCUI.DLL

[DestinationDirs]
copy.files = 11

[SourceDisksNames]
81=,"",1

Then create an installer with IExpress (very easy, follow the prompts) in which you include the files you want to copy and the inf file which will become the setup command of the installer

For your registry files, you may also want to convert them into inf format and create a new section for them in your above inf.

You can convert reg to inf quite easily with Willy Pad :

It say the file 4 was not found
i click skip file then it restarts

[eidenk]

If you remove the ,4 from each line it should maybe process the files normally.

I have added that as it is a flag that is supposed to force overwrite in any circumstances but I certainly did put it at the wrong place or used a slightly wrong syntax.

Why I did put it is because I guessed the files you want to install will maybe not be of a newer version than the targets, and by default the installer will not replace them if they are not of a newer version I believe.

Look into all that and experiment a bit just like I do ATM. Have some PROBLEMCHYLD to test them for you.

And search the forum for downloads links for inf doc. There are some.

Right, it's a wrong syntax

To get what you were thinking about, replace ",4" by ",,6" (two comas, 6 instead of 4 to make it silent)


Another detail PROBLEMCHYLD, you posted a batch a few posts ago with multiple COPY then REGSVR /U then REGSVR /I on the same fileset : you should change the order to be REGSVR /U then COPY then REGSVR /I.
It becomes :

 
regsvr32 /u /s  %windir%\System\browseui.dll
regsvr32 /u /s  %windir%\System\browselc.dll
regsvr32 /u /s  %windir%\System\CTL3D32S.DLL

The correct syntax is

file,,,4

and not

file,4

, this is the problem. The explanation what this "4" means is here: http://old.winpack.o...eb/copyfile.htm

This is a example of what my setup would be

98SE2XP.bmp %windir%
98SEOLD.bmp %windir%
CALC.exe %windir% default shortcut
Charmap.exe %windir% default shortcut
DeskMenu.exe %windir% shortcut WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\startup
ECM.hlp %windir%\help
IEXPLORE.exe C:\programs files\internet explorer
iexpress.exe %windir%\system
King Crimson.jpg C:\windows\web\wallpaper
MAPC_OFF.inf
mobsync.exe %windir%\system default shortcut
MSPAINT.exe C:\Programs\Accessories default shortcut
NOTEPAD.exe %windir% default shortcut
Pulp Fiction.jpg C:\windows\web\wallpaper
RegClean.exe %windir% shortcut C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools
Shared Dll.exe %windir%
SNDREC32.exe %windir% default shortcut 
SNDVOL32.exe %windir% default shortcut 
spider.exe %windir% default shortcut 
Windows Millennium.jpg C:\windows\web\wallpaper
WINTOP.exe %windir% shortcut C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools
WINTOP.inf
WINTOP.VXD
WRITE.exe %windir% default shortcut 
WUPDMGR.exe %windir%
Explorer.exe %windir%
systray.exe %windir%\system
