    [Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11

    in WPI, nLite and RVM Addons

    Posted

    Well, I have finally crossed the first hurdle. In order to convert this script to an hta, I first needed to convert the batch file processes to vbscript. The one that was stumping me, the process that creates the inf itself, has been completed.

    So, I'm one step closer to competing it.

    i not really expert in this :(

    Nobody is in the beginning. But, you have to try and probably fail, on your first attempt. Post your failures and we can help fix that. From that trial and error, you will learn quickly.

    Look at your favorite addons, disassemble them, ask the creator questions.

    Study all of the tutorials posted above and read all of the postings by ricktendo64 and others here.

    That should be a good start.

    Thanks, I have checked these out and Foxit is not free or at least requires the user to sign up for for crap-ware.

    pdf-xchange is an excellent replacement of Adobe Reader, but it does not open the pdf within Firefox, it creates an external window.

    @thedexmonster

    That is correct. My implementation of the Adobe Reader plugin does not work. It will be removed. I am looking for an alternative. When installing Adobe Reader 9.0, it automatically installs the plugin - but, not in Firefox. It keeps its plugin in its own folder within the install folder. Therefore, adding the plugin to the Firefox Builder is not necessary.

    I do not want to include the installation of additional software with the Firefox Builder. Adding Adobe Reader - Full installation would add about 35 MB to the addon. Unless I can find a stand-alone plug-in for viewing pdf files - even if it is dependant on additional software. It will have to remove it completely.

    I'm not sure if this is my problem, or a problem with the addon. I cannot open a pdf in firefox. I tried reinstalling from mozilla source. Still says cannot open pdf with this plugin try closing adobe reader, and restart firefox.

    I did find that if I delete the Adobe Plugin (nppdf32.dll) from "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins" it changes the plugin directory to "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Browser" and it works fine.

    I just noticed that after reinstalling Adobe Reader it changes the plugin back to Firefox.

    Not sure if this helps fix a bug? or if something is just screwy with my system. This is a clean install on a real machine. Firefox was installed before Adobe Reader.

    The Adobe Reader Plugin for Firefox(alone) is not working. The complete installation needs to be used(95 MB installed). I am looking for an alternative PDF Reader plugin for Firefox, but have been unsuccessful.

    I am open to suggestions for alternatives. The only requirement is that it work as a plugin and open within Firefox.

    Otherwise, I will just remove the Adobe Reader Plugin altogether.

    Anyone willing to help me build a website?

    OK thanks to a friend I have a webhost, now I need help setting up a website for a Spanish XP UpdatePack. I am completely new to this and have never done this before

    Don't know what the best software to use is (joomla, etc.) and don't know what to do next after I got it installed :|

    First I would like to get it set up and working...then maybe in the future make it pretty, maybe skin it (just the top part) to look exactly like the Windows XP taskbar with the Windows Search box ;) (but this is waaaaay in the future not now)

    Any takers?

    I'd help you if I could, but I don't know the first thing about designing a web site. Is the site operational?

    Have you switched to VISTA yet

    in Microsoft Windows Vista

    Posted

    I've tried Vista x86 and x64, Server 200(3)(8) x86 and x64 and XP. x64 versions have too many driver issues and Vista has too many quirks that can't be explained away. I don't need all the pretty graphics stuff, it just slows everything else down. When I click the mouse, I like something to happen, not wait a bit, then it happens. I like stable, I don't mind rebooting every couple of weeks, but hate doing a few times a day.

    If I could do everything that I can do in XP, in Linux, I'd be using Linux. But, it's still not compatible with most stuff. But, it runs great - uptime in the months.

    Need a directive to logoff current user when manually installation finished

    in INF Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Jonnyboy

    I need send a logoff directive to make registry entries take effects when manually installation finished

    [Install]
    BeginPrompt				 =BeginInst
    RunPreSetupCommands =Create.i386:1
    CopyFiles					  =program.files
    AddReg						 =Uninst.AddReg
    ProfileItems				   =Program.Addshortcut
    RunPostSetupCommands=Delete.i386
    EndPrompt					=EndInst
    ;<----------------------------------------add Logoff directive here and with a prompt

    I have Googled internet,only found directives to reboot machine like below

    Reboot =  1
    SmartReboot =A / N

    any help is appreciated.

    I think that the command would be 

    CMD /Q /C shutdown -l

    just add this to Delete.i386 section and should work, or create another section under RunPostSetupCommands

    check with ricktendo64 on syntax for the inf, but "shutdown -l" is logoff user

    Works great, saves toooo much time and trouble in just several mouse clicks. :beerchug:

    This is interesting. Is it possible to override this somehow,or even make some kind of note when making cab so user would be aware on which file to consider for further work with? :(

    P.S. I noticed you still have v.011 in title bar... ^_^

    I have posted with correct version.

    I will test some scripts to validate the filenames and check that each filename in indeed in the cab. When I get it right, I'll post an update. I've had a few days off, back to work tomorrow (6 days a week 14 hour days). But, I'll try to get some done on it.

    Outstanding work Jonnyboy!

    I was working on a addon that had 2,338 files in it....

    Many of which had the same name.....

    Tons and tons of renaming and such.....

    Been working on it for much longer than I care to admit......

    With this tool.... Took less than 10 min to complete the inf...... :worthy:

    Thanks for such a GREAT tool......

    :beerchug:

    Glad it helped!

    That is exactly the purpose for the little script.
