Kel, In your UberPack.inf you have a [Regshot.DelShortcut4] that looks like it should be [ResHack.DelShortcut4] [resuninstall] BeginPrompt = BeginUnInsPromptResHack EndPrompt = EndUnInsPromptResHack DelFiles = CopyResHack DelDirs = ResUninstall.DelDirs DelReg = ResHack.addreg ProfileItems = reshack.DelShortcut,reshack.DelShortcut2,ResHack.DelShortcut3,ResHack.[b]DelShortcut4[/b] [ResUninstall.DelDirs] %16422%\%ResHack% [ResHack.DelShortcut3] Name = ResHack,0x00000003 SubDir = Utilities [b][Regshot.DelShortcut4][/b] Name = ResHack,0x00000002 SubDir = Utilities [BeginUnInsPromptResHack] Prompt = %UninsQuestResHack% Title = %UninsTitle% ButtonType = OKCANC [EndUnInsPromptResHack] Prompt = %UninsFinalResHack% Title = %UninsTitle% And thanks for this Addon

I forgot about WinRAR! That worked like a charm. I did not test the rundll32 method yet as I accomplished what I was looking for in the WinRAR SFX method. If I try the other method down the road I will post my results. I really appreciate your help on this ricktendo64.

The following works if the path to the .inf is true. rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 C:\<FOLDER>\<FILENAME>.inf However does anyone have any ideas how to run this code from within a temp folder?

Test on running OS completed successfully. Will test install from runonceex.

I would like to be able to select a few inf addons during the runonce stage of integration using a installer tool. Some inf addons are set up and installed perfectly to my taste as well as they are very customizable. If I could package the inf's into a switchless installer I would, unfortunately I do not possess that knowledge at the time. I am surprised [sourceDisksFiles] is not needed. I will test and respond. Thanks Rick

Thanks for taking a look at this. Any of you or kel's addons that are not dependant on the T13 stage can be used as an example.

Any idea how to run a inf addOn from RunOnceEx? So far I have have extracted any cab files in the addOn into the same folder as the inf and tried running the following from a command line: rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 setup.inf Which resulted in the following "Files needed" notification: I think I have narrowed it down to the [sourceDisksNames.x86] entry in the inf. By deleting any reference to the .cab the installer seems to load with no "files needed" notifications. This has not been tested on a new install though it works on a pre loaded OS. If any of the resident inf addOn makers have any suggestions, tips or tricks I would be greatly thankful. -Thanks in advance
