This tool lets you create addons for Windows 7 Toolkit, this tool has a lot of potential, more than people realize! Used correctly, this tool can have your progams pre-installed after Windows installation.

This tool is the most complex, but you becomes very easy to use ones you get your head around it but this is not for the faint hearted. So good luck!

Note: I will only be covering the basics!

Info
 1_Info.png   28.5KB   380 downloads
This is one of the easier screens and is pretty self explanatory and i'm pretty sure you can figure this out.

Files
 2_CopyFiles.png   30.95KB   339 downloads
This will copy file to the mounted wim image when someone adds this addon. So go ahead and click 'Add Files' at the bottom.

1. Click the folder button and browse to the file you wish to copy.

2. Select the destination, you can choose to a pre-defined area and then add '\\filenameyouwant.exe'

You can also type it in manually like 'C:\Windows\System32\RunOnce.exe' but you would not type the beginning 'C:\' so it would be 'Windows\System32\RunOnce.exe'

Folder
 3_CopyFolder.png   30.78KB   201 downloads
Same as above, select the folder you wish to have installed and then select where you want the folder to go.

 4_Registry.png   23.81KB   118 downloads
Add any *.reg files you wish to have installed or required for your addons, some users use a program like InstallWatch which tells you what registry/file changes where made to your computer during an installation. You then export the registry changes and import them here.

Delete Files
 5_Delete.png   36.16KB   113 downloads
Type in the location of the file you need deleting for example 'Windows\System32\Example.exe'

Shortcuts
 6_Shortcuts.png   31.69KB   112 downloads
This is where you can create shortcuts for the program you made. You can just copy and paste a pre-existing shortcut from an installation in the 'File' tab and tell it where it needs to go i.e. Desktop.

You don't need to use 'Icon' if the exe you pointed too already has one. Also 'Arguments' is mostly left blank as you don't need anything like /s /q /quiet, etc..

Commands
 7_Commands.png   56.94KB   154 downloads
This is for commands which you want to run after Windows has been installed.

It doesn't seem like it has alot of potential but trust me it does! Used correctly, you can do anything with this tool.

As mentioned above you can use InstallWatch to record what an installation does, so that you can use that information to make an addon which then has that program pre-installed when you have Windows installed.

Any questions about this tool (not bugs) just post in here and i will try to reply.

Hi! I'm trying to integrate some additional software into the installation using the addon maker and then applying them through the All-In-One Integrator.

But I don't get my addons to work. The copied .exe files and necessary folders become copied to the right places. But I also want to run the .exe to have the programs installed unattended right after windows is installed. In the addon maker I put my *reg files (which installs the software if applied manually) in "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]" using regedit. But i think they gets cleaned out as the computer restarts during the windows installation. How do/did you make your addons to install unattended?

Happy for any response or screenshoots of anyones addons. :-)

I'm trying to integrate ClipName into my Windows 7 SP1 x64 image using the addon maker in WT and the applying it through the All-In-One Integrator.

Their is no setup.exe involved, just a simple .INF files that I can install manually by right clicking the .INF and selecting install from the context menu. Here's what I have so far.

I created an addon with tasks to add clipname.dll and clipname.inf to x:\program Files\clipname. The only thing I cant figure it is how to get Win Tookit to install the .INF file. I read that I can do this by invoking a command, but I'm still not sure if this is the way to go about this. Is their a registry entry i can import on the addon that will invoke the .INF to install on first run?

I was thinking something like this might work?

RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 C:\PROGRAM FILES\CLIPNAME\CLIPNAME.INF

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Just my thought...
Try running inf in RunOnce which support REG_EXPAND_SZ and you can use variable instead of hardcode path like C:\PROGRAM FILES.
E.g In case of dual boot OS, something the OS might not install to C: drive. It could be D or E drive.
In Everything Search Engine, post 11, I have a simple batch to create RunOnce key using REG_EXPAND_SZ variable.

You can get the toolkit to launch a .inf file...

Under silent installers, instead of adding a .exe file, add a .inf file....
