  1. ...i go to Users\James\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_1257789307 and all of the files are there with .cab files just like bjfrog said in one of the posts above, so i follow on breaking down the original .msi with Universal Extractor when done im left with i vmware workstation folder in there is 7 folders and vmware workstation.msi. now i copy over bjfrogs vmware workstation.msi extract with Universal Extractor then in that folder i 7zip it up to make i installer that works but it ends up beenin 215 MB not "less than 32MB" like Uncle_Gadget.

    please give us a hand?

    I think you're having an issue because there already is a folder in the vmware_1257789307 directory with the name 'vmware workstation'. You're adding file to this directory which is why it is so large. If you rename bjfrog's msi file to something like 'Vmware Workstation Lite.msi' and THEN run the Universal Extractor you will be left with a much smaller directory named 'Vmware Workstation Lite'. This directory when compressed with 7-Zip should be just under 32MB when compressed and should work as a fully functional installer. Good Luck!

  2. i made one for version7 heavily base on Ricks version6 and i give it further reduce ,only work on x86 host,here is the MSI file

    just put it into source folder extracted from download full installer,silent parameters still work v7.

    Phenomonal job, bjfrog! My installer is now less than 32MB. I also like how you didn't just delete the unused features, you only flagged them not to install. Using this method, I was also able to create a 64-bit installer just by re-enabling the 64 bit components.

    I did notice one feature that I think you can also easily exclude - WSJaDocs feature (below Docs). Either that, or just turn off installation for the entire Docs feature.

    Thanks, again, for building on Ricks hard work!

    Edit: I just realized that WSJaDocs is disabled as it is a sub-feature of Japanese Docs. Still, it might work as well by turning off the entire Docs feature.

  3. I'm on dial-up, but, I'll update those that need updating and post an update soon. As soon as I get 3.5 sorted out. Mozilla has moved their files around. This was expected. It appears that they may have dropped 2.x.

    I'll post an update as soon as I can.

    Thanks, Jonnyboy. I appreciate your continued support!

  4. This addon was only meant to show that it could be done, you should be using a UpdatePack that includes this program

    Thanks for the quick update! :worthy:

    Just curious, though, is there a particular reason you recommend this be in the update pack? The only pack I'm aware of that includes it is OnePiece's - and his has FAR TOO MUCH stuff in there for me.

  5. Running the latest build (v0.602) I am getting the following error while building a true addon:

    Below is a copy of the log file as well. Let me know if I can supply any further info.

  6. Please post any bugs you find so that I can finish the update.

    FYI, the full installation procedures (shortcuts, %ProgramFiles% destination, etc.) have not been built into the installer. Your SFX script only contains the following at this point:
