I tried a lot of different configurations from 8GB up to 24GB. I did see an interesting error when trying to set my ramdisk as my VMWare VHD location. It complained about the destination file system not accepting large files. Strange seeing as it was NTFS. I think the problem is with ImDisk. I have used other programs in the past that showed my drives in the Disk Management Console. ImDisk does not.

Have you considered adding RamDisk capability to the Toolkit? I manually run DISM using a RamDisk (Created with Open Source ImDisk: http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html) as the ScratchDir and it is significantly faster!
Also, maybe someone could help me determine why DISM fails to integrate updates when the MountPoint is on a ramdisk?

I have noticed that if I use your program to install an addon that puts the uninstall information in: HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall it does not add the registry entries. All the files are copied and all other registry entries are added. If I manually install the program from the INF or if I use HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ it works fine.

What type of hardware you looking for?
-
Well, I realize this would take way more effort than it's worth (if it's even possible) so I've given up :|. Everything gets linked properly but none of the files are originally placed in their modified locations. Causes a few problems... More advanced than I, just hoped I could simply trick the OS into doing what I asked.

Thank you crashfly. I just stumbled upon the Win Toolkit which has an image registry editor. Going to work with it for a while.
-
All of the entries show the system drive as D:, is this going to stay or is it just because my live system is C:?
-
I would consider that as an option as well, as long as I can run it in the installation process before a bunch of things are assigned the value of the variable in question. Any ideas there?

I would try installing from a usb drive to rule out bad optical drive. If you're not sure how to do that, check out http://arstechnica.com/business/2009/12/the-usb-flash-drive/.
If that doesn't work, try integrating drivers using RT Seven Lite Beta 2.6.0 from http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/515-system-type-32-bit-x86-64-bit-x64.html.

I am attempting to modify %ProgramFiles% and %ProgramFiles(x86)% definitions as well as a few minor directories during setup. What I am not sure of is where or when to apply this so windows copies the least amount of files to the default locations.
If I have to, I will write a script that finds and replaces any registry entries already modified and use the results of the script to move those files to their new locations.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Comments also!!
I plan on using registry entries like the following.

IF EXIST "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64" set ARCH=64
The above code assumes a 32-bit host unless the syswow64 folder exists, then 64-bit.
This I like and thank you! I hadn't thought of that.

http://www.windows-commandline.com/2009/01/find-windows-os-version-from-command.html
Scanning systeminfo is kind of clunky when lots of environment variables exist to help you.
%OS%
%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%
%PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER%
This link comes up not found.
Also, I need to know the version of windows installed, not the type of cpu installed. I'm running windows 7 64bit, %os% = Windows_NT. Doesn't help.

Hello, I'm trying to install software on particular machines based on operating system and architecture. I've ran into a wall with this bit of code. For some reason it wont set the variable arch when ran remotely.
SYSTEMINFO | FIND "System Type" > C:\sysType.txt
FOR /F "usebackq delims=: tokens=3" %%c IN (C:\sysType.txt) DO SET arch=%%c
ECHO %arch% | FIND "86" > NUL
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
GOTO VISTA
) ELSE (
GOTO 64
)
I also use this and it works fine:
SYSTEMINFO | FIND "OS Name" > C:\osName.txt
FOR /F "usebackq delims=: tokens=2" %%c IN (C:\osName.txt) DO SET vers=%%c
vers always has a proper value. What am I doing wrong?

I say, if keeping it web based makes it easier to keep up and we get the same final product... Why not?

i use a clean firefox upto date version installed and use local source to make it with
heres a pic of the way i have mine setup
http://img833.images...ff716prefs.jpg/
my firefox extensions i use
http://img826.images...extensions.jpg/
if i add a normal firefox nlite addon not made with this tool all goes well
but my firefox addon extensions etc are not added and its just a normal version
and i would prefer to have a custom make firefox really..
even if i make a little corporate version without so many addons just to fit on a 700 MB cdr-rom
the firefox silent addon still turns out the same with the two boxes unticked..
everything else works ok.. i.e. all the other addons work perfectly..
Late is better than never right? I may have found the source of your problem. There is a file in the program files directory (%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\greprefs\security-prefs.js) that is missing with the addon. As far as fixing the addon, I will try in the little spare time I have, but, I am hoping Jonnyboy beats me to it.
In the mean time, if you add your own security-prefs.js to that folder it should work.

i still have on version 716 problem the protocals SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 in the advanced options boxes seems to be unticked when the xp is installed fresh with a addon made with this addon maker.
i had a few people ask me that have tried it and said the same thing about the boxes not being ticked..
is there anyway of making sure the boxes are ticked so when a fresh install is done the boxes are already ticked..
thanks in advance..
here's a picture of the boxes unticked, would be nice to have them pre ticked.
Of the hundreds of times I've used this addon I have only experienced this problem once. I think it might have something to do with another addon integrated with it. Or possibly a dirty source. Are you trying a clean integration? and what other addons do you use?
-
Thanks for this update (0716).
Is the file size and MD5 in post#1 correct for 0716?
I get:
file size: 3.60 MB
MD5: 8c34970ba1966cbd35f022121b05b1d0
8C34970BA1966CBD35F022121B05B1D0 - 3.60MB is correct. Sorry, I'll see if he can update that for me.
Seems I made a mistake! Nothing too vital until the next version comes along. Still I recommend re-downloading if MD5 checksum doesn't match.
Will not happen again!!

Yes, great idea! We are waiting for you to update the pack with VC++2010 runtimes! :thumbsup_anim:

there is an error now, nothing serious . Flash player doesn't work anymore with "/s" switch.
New working switch is "/install", I hope you will have time to update.
Thanks for this great tool.
edit the config.txt file in the bin folder.
change the line ;eRunProgram="install_flash_player.exe /S"
to read ;eRunProgram="install_flash_player.exe /install"
then save it and you're good to go.

Integrate this into your windows disk and you wont have to install it after windows installs in your virtual machine. If you are not installing in a virtual setting it will not install.
I don't have a Windows 7 or 64 bit operating system to build or test on. Sorry.

An Error Occurred
Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
[#10358] You requested a post that is not part of this topic. Please verify the URL you clicked or contact an administrator.
I have been getting this error on almost every topic I visit since the layout change of the forums. Not sure what the problem is but it's a little frustrating.
An example of this:
Any particular reason this might be happening to me? I haven't seen anyone else complain about this so I have to assume it could be a problem on my end. I'm running Firefox 3.5.1, Windows XP Pro SP3, All windows updates are installed.

My idea is: uninstall IE8 through its Windows Components Option and reinstall it through its standalone package
Wow... that was fun.
I tried uninstalling from windows components. Many required dll's were missing from my installation.
Uninstall failed. Restarted the computer to find explorer wouldn't start because iertutil.dll was missing.
I was able to open 7zip from the task manager and extract all the dll's from this addon to the windows directory and start explorer. Restarted and installed IE8 from standalone, everything's good now.
I've been using the IE7 addon for a long time now without any problems... Don't know what happened here. That's what VM's are for I guess.
Thank you, I didn't even think to look in components to uninstall it. I tried reinstalling and it said this version cannot be uninstalled but I could reinstall it. Tried that and it didn't work..
-
I'm looking for suggestions.
I used the IE8 True addon for the first time in a live environment, before testing in a VM.
ActiveX controls are not working. I'm not prompted to install any necessary controls. I can't add search engines or accelerators. And because this is a true addon I can't downgrade to IE7.
Am I the only one experiencing these problems? I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3. I used RVMI 1.6.1 beta2 to integrate.
IE is basically useless. It fails to download any files via ftp or http, no flash support...
Ideas?
Simple program to kill a program

Can someone help me with a very simple program that can run in the background?
I need to kill a task based on a filename whenever it starts. I am running Windows 10 x64 if it matters.
