Requirements: 7zip I recommend using InstallWatch as it records what new registry entries there is and also which files have been modified. Every .WA needs a tasks.txt file within it so W7T knows what to do with it, an example is below: Make a folder i.e. D:\Addon Step 1: Tasks.txt
Name=Mozilla Firefox Creator=Legolash2o Version=3.0.6 Arc=x86 Description=Open Source internet browser.
[CopyFolder] Mozilla Firefox::Program Files
[CopyFile] Mozilla Firefox.lnk::Users\Public\Desktop Mozilla Firefox.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Name This is the name of the program or addon Creator Your name or the maker of the addon Version The version of the program/addon you are making Arc Which version of the program you are making their are only 3 choices x86 - These addon will work on both x86 and x64 images, if it is integrated into x64 it will put the files in folders like "Program Files (x86)" or "SysWOW64". x86! - x86 only x64 - x64 only Build (Optional) This will only let you install the addon on certain versions of windows i.e. 7068. This is useful for patches like Themes. Build=7000! *Build 7000 only Build=7000 *Build 7000 or newer Website (Optional) When the addon is double clicked in the list, it will open the website specified Step 2: Copying Folders
[CopyFolder] Mozilla Firefox::Program Files
This is easy... name of folder::where to put it Mozilla Firefox will be copied into Program Files folder. Put Mozilla Firefox folder in your root addon folder (D:\Addon) Step 3: Copying Files
[CopyFile] Mozilla Firefox.lnk::Users\Public\Desktop Mozilla Firefox.lnk::ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Put Mozilla Firefox.lnk in your root addon folder (D:\Addon) Also easy.... name of file including extension (.exe, .lnk, whatever):: folder to put it in Firefox links will be copied to both Desktop and Start Menu Step 3: Registry Entries Just simply copy the exported .reg file into the root folder of the addon (D:\Addon) Note: You may want to clean the registry file and remove entries like your name, serial codes, temp stuff like MuiCache and sometimes there is a really long entry and i mean long, remove that too! Normal Registry File
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1] "Example"="This is an example string" "Example2"=dword:00000001
Delete Key (Note they hyphen (-) before HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1] "Example"="This is an example string" "Example2"=dword:00000001 Delete Value (Note the hyphen (-) after the equals sign(=))
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1] "Example"="This is an example string" "Example2"=-
Step 4: Creating the addon file (.WA) Using the example above you should have something similar to... D:\Addon D:\Addon\Mozilla Firefox\ (with firefox files within it) D:\Addon\Mozilla Firefox.lnk (shortcut) D:\Addon\Tasks.txt D:\Addon\Example.reg (optional) Simply highlight all the files in the folder, right-click, 7zip > Add to Archive Once its open change .7z to .WA make sure its on Ultra compression and click OK Tasks.txt Example 7zip x64
Name=7-zip Creator=Legolash2o Version=4.65 Arc=x64 Description=7-Zip is an open source file archiver designed originally for Microsoft Windows. Blah.
Notes When it comes to the "Description" in tasks.txt it can only be one line, it can not be multiple lines. For example: This program has the following features: *blah *blah *blah The Addon Integrator will only display "This program has the following features:"
