Do you have QT Address Bar only?.. I'm having problems with the QT standard buttons when using other windows themes the standard buttons where missing.. and i don't like QT Tab Bar..

I'm sorry. I don't have QT Tab Bar by itself. I will try to build an add-on in the next few days, but it's been a long time since I built this add-on.... It may take my a while....

Because i don't need QT Tab Bar me neither, i have made an addon with QT Address Bar only (based on doug's addon v1.1). Here it is
No uninstall but not really needed.
Notice how small it is without QT Tab Bar.

Wow! Man, I've been really behind the curve lately.... Would you mind if I posted it on XPtsp.com?

[mooms]

No, it is ok dougie ! It's indeed based on your work so....
If i found time and motivation i will add uninstallation, but is it really needed ?

Nah, the ability to uninstall it would be nice, but it's not necessary at the moment. But if you want to build an uninstaller for this add-on, feel free to do so! Btw, thanks for permission to post it!

I have made an attempt to add uninstall capabilities in QTAdressBar addon.
Now you can install it with right click -> install and the correct entries are added to add/remove panel but when you uninstall it fails at deleting files and folders, maybe because they are in use when uninstalling.

If some inf genius can take a look....



BTW, i have checked your addon Doug_QTBar_AddOn_v2.0.7z, and uninstall don't work either.
Some entries and variables are missing, and you have some weird link to TrueTransparency in uninstall


Here is the addon with uninstall capabilities:

[uninstall]
RunPreSetupCommands = Killproc:1
UnregisterDlls = Unregdlls


[killproc]
taskkill /f Whatever.exe

[unregdlls]
%path%\whateverdll.dll

Try adding these sectuions into your inf BEFORE:

RunPostSetupCommands = Cleanfolder
DelFiles = QTAddr1.CopyFiles, QTAddr2.CopyFiles, QTAddr3.CopyFiles, QTAddr4.CopyFiles, PNF.File
DelReg = QTAddr.AddReg, Explorer.AddReg, Uninstall.AddReg
Cleanup = 1
UpdateInis = sysoc.Edit
SmartReboot = I

I would suggest the following:

RunPreSetupCommands   = Killproc:1
UnregisterDlls					= Unregdlls
DelFiles							 = QTAddr1.CopyFiles, QTAddr2.CopyFiles, QTAddr3.CopyFiles, QTAddr4.CopyFiles, PNF.File
DelReg							  = QTAddr.AddReg, Explorer.AddReg, Uninstall.AddReg
RunPostSetupCommands = Cleanfolder
UpdateInis						 = sysoc.Edit
Cleanup							= 1
SmartReboot					 = I

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Further suggestions:

Add tskill /f explorer.exe to presetupcommands and then restart it with postsetupcommands?

[mooms]

Thanks you for the headup Kels, uninstall works now! files and folders are deleted

Still few glitches:
tskill explorer.exe dont work (tskill explorer neither and /f is not recognized) but
TASKKILL /F /IM explorer.exe works, so at this time, uninstallation is only compatible with XP Pro

Uninstall.EndPrompt don't show up, probably caused by explorer not working at this time.

Maybe the best way is to delete files on next reboot, so no need to stop explorer (keep compatibility with XP Home) ?
Do you know how to do that ?

here is the updated adon:
(you can see i have not used UnregisterDlls, not needed apparently)

With the Help of ricktendo64, the inf now delete the files on next reboot.
No more need to kill explorer, much better uninstall !

Still one glitch : Original XP address bar will be restored only for the user who had launched the uninstall.
Other user(s) will have to manually re-enable the XP address bar after uninstall of QTAdressBar.
It's a HKCU key, so i can't do better. (tried HKLM and HKCR, no go)

I think it's the final version.

I have also updated the non-uninstallable version, now the inf and pnf files are deleted on reboot and sysoc.inf is cleaned after install.
The install is flawless now.

Despite the fact that you didn't ask, I don't have a problem with the fact that you included it in your add-on AS LONG AS you give proper credit to those created it (me and mooms)..... However, mooms might have an issue with it. I can't speak for mooms on this issue...

Mona = It is not nice to just snag someone elses work and add it to your own....

Agreed....
