Ok.. Ive got a odd deal here... As usual Here are the files that are causing problems.. under soucedisk files.. dm-chasmatic,1.tmp=1 dm-chasmatic,2.tmp=1 The "," is what is causing the issue... Because of this.... [Main.Files] dm-chasmatic,1.tmp With the "," it thinks it needs to rename the file to "1.tmp" When actually it doesn't... So the question is how do I get it to copy the file correctly? I know, I know.... Why do I always have strange S**T.... Just lucky I guess!!!

I have a hard time remembering what is safe to remove from .AddReg. I think it was because I was learning so much at one time and could not remember this part of it. LOL. I know that is is safe to remove: All "HKU,"S-1-5-21" All "ShellNoRoam" All "MRU" All "%%pfvqy2%%\" But that is all that I can remember. Thank you

Hi Rick ! I'm working on a AIO XP images pack replacer addon (ENU/FRA). My pack will replace : Screen saver Wallpapers UAP sample pictures by the ones I chose & added; it's uninstallable too. But I have few worries. 1) I'm trying to reach this UAP choosing screen: Unfortunately, this command "rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL nusrmgr.cpl" don't do that and uninstall my UAP Pack before user change his account picture (and then Advpack.dll prompts me about reboot, due to a UAP's in use). 2) I'm also trying to delete one entry (a resources file used to represent my packs in "Add/Remove prog"), but only if all others packs (04) are uninstalled. I used this command …

Hello all, i'm new to this forums! I want to make a true addons using tools that provided this forums, i'm still confused to make an inf n ini file.

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...

OK... this is my first attempt at making a true addon.... I decided to try a screensaver addon first......(This screensaver is a little different from the norm... It has 2 files for it.. 1 is a normal .scr file and the other is a .exe file) Both files need to go in the system32 dir....) And this also requires a User Name and serial #... I used Ricks Vista Screensavers addon as sort of a guide..... I would like someone to check my .ini and .inf files and tell me if this looks ok....

Hi, I am trying to create a registry entry in the AddReg section that will use the currently logged in user's username. I thought I had it figured out using "HKCU,"Software\MyProgram\MyDirectory","PATH",0x0,"%53%\TargetDirectory". When I run this inf from my desktop, the entry is created as "C:\Documents and Settings\MYUSERNAME\TargetDirectory", just as I want. However, when I use that line in my addon during Windows install, the entry is created as "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\TargetDirectory" - Instead of "MYUSERNAME", it is showing up as "Default User" and the application does not work. Could someone give me a hint as to how to accomplish this, I have search…
