Im working on a addon... I know the addon portion of the script works (tested it on a live install) Now I'm trying to add the extra stuff to it so It will be uninstallable...

Ok.... Ive got a addon that im working on... During the uninstall I need the inf to set a folder for deletion after reboot. So 1st question is How do you set a folder for deletion after a reboot, and 2nd is how do you get the inf to ask if you if you would like to reboot? The folder is in Program Files.... Reason I have to do it this was is because i have a dll file that is locked by explorer.exe until after reboot, so you cant delete the folder until then... And Ive tried everything... Unregistering.dll etc.... You can use unlocker to unlock it and then delete the folder but thats not a great alternative... Any help would be appreciated...

I did a search, but didn't come up with anything useful quickly, so: Is there an environment variable or method to grab the date and the currentuser name from a system which can be used in an inf based installer? The inf, after getting the date and currentuser name, will then add this information to the registry of the target system.

Ok..... I'm going to be creating ALOT of my fav theme addons..... They will all be uninstallable....(individually that its) Now.... I don't wan't 50 or more entries in the add/remove programs list in the control panel.... (unless I actually want to see them) What I'm after is what MrDMX did in his ported vista games addon...... The only way they showed up was if "show updates" was checked, and then it had a header that said something like "Vista Games" and then under that "folder" (for lack of a better name) had the individual games..... I would like to do basically the same thing..... Something like: Reapers Themes: yada yada yada etc...... I have looked through the inf …

I have created a few addons and incorporate them into a clean build of WinXP SP3. They are designed to be incorporated by Sysoc during that process step. I have inserted ADDREG sections into some of them that create entries in the following registry location HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" with the hope that these programs would run each time at startup. I have discovered that some of the ADDREG sections make it into the Administrator account while others seem only to make it under Default User account. I thought during windows setup, that the active user account was the administrators account and therefore the current user should be the administr…

OK, I am working on a addon that has around 542 files and around 54 folders, it has a lot of the same file name. So I would like to be able to go in a folder and add the folder name ever file with the folder name in front of it. ex. inside a (testing 1 folder), there is a number of files. testing.txt testing.jpg testing.url I am wanting to add a "testing 1" in front of every file. testing 1testing.txt testing 1testing.jpg testing 1testing.url I don't think it's possible but, just a thought and it never hurts to try. LOL . Thanks

Once again I'm stuck on an inf problem. Does anyone know of a way to append to the %PATH% using an INF installer? I know that the path is stored in the registry at: HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment","Path" And I know it would be easy to replace the path. The question is can I append to the existing path in the registry? And, then, to really complicate matters... Would there be a way to uninstall the appended path portion ONLY on an uninstall? I'm probably asking for too much, now. :albert:

When making a addon, do you need to add the prefetch files (C:Windows\Prefetch)? Thank you

First of all a BIG thanks to this forum for the great information provided on helping me to learn the inf creation process. A special thanks to Ricktendo64 for his gift of sharing that knowledge. I am having one problem I have not been able to find a solution for - the problem of creating a shortcut for a file name or folder that contains spaces. I realize that there are 2 obvious workarounds (using the 8.3 file name or renaming the file), however neither of those options will work for me in all cases. For one, many people are turning off 8.3 file name creation (it's one of the recommended tweaks for SSD drives) and renaming the file often leads to other problems…

like the title said i have a problem launching inf file with batch file using infdefaultinstall : infdefaultinstall %WINDIR%\inf\tweaks.inf i use this line in setupcomplete.cmd and thanks in advance
