    How to convert Add-On to SFX file

    in Microsoft Windows 7

    Posted

    You can try this shorter alternative config for Everything 1.3

    ;!@Install@!UTF-8!

    GUIMode="2"

    OverwriteMode="0"

    RunProgram="rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection Everything.inf,LiveInstall,3"

    ;!@InstallEnd@!

    Note:Archived sfx should contain 3 items:-

    Folder: Everything

    File: Everything.inf

    File: Everything_Schedule.bat

    Cheers :)

    Hi qwesta
    Thanks for the link. I have checked out the latest file.(FoxitReader545.01141_enu_Setup.exe). Does not have much difference.
    The only difference is a file "Foxit Reader.exe.man" which is about 72.8 kb.
    You can replace the file with this download if you wish to but frankly, I don't know how useful it will be. I won't be uploading the whole package until next major update.
    There is no need to change anything in the inf when you replace this file.

     

    Cheers

    Size: 7.6 Kb (7,780 bytes)
    MD5: EA38F1DA9E199E7458522936EBD637D8

    (pls extract the file to Foxit Reader.exe.man)
    and replace it in 5.4.5.0114)

    Everything Search Engine - v1.3.3.658b

    Updated to 1.3.0.632b

    Pls uninstall old one before installing this one. inf name has been change as well.
    (was Evthing.inf, now Everything.inf)

    Inf now includes DefaultInstall section to perform live install.
    Has also includes x64 code for installing on x64 but I could not verify if it is bug-free.


    Appreciate member's feedback if they can test on 1) Normal install, 2) slipstream with wintoolkit and 3) uninstall routine. (pls check entry for scheduler task as well)

    Thanks to members myselfidem,mooms,RicaNeaga for helping/testing on x64 previously. :)

    First, rest assure that I'm not trying to say your config doesn't work at ROE but I simply couldn't get ROE entry when run on commandline manually. Just trying to understand why. So relax. Just treat it as a mere discussion with an open mind. (It might be a possible remote bug, that's all). At the end of the day, it's still works at ROE.

    I slipstreamed modified config (post #45) at ROE, it works. See screenshot ( I paused ROE just to take screenshot). Why it didn't work at your end, I don't know. Strange.

    Just curious if you run GCSE.exe from My Documents folder with roe switch, do you have roe entry? (from your own build, not modified one)

    If you do not wish to response, I end my post here.

    Just for your feedback (since you find no error at your end)

    I noticed there is an error I posted earlier.
    I should have include \" at begining of %%S but must remove \" at end of GCSE.EXE

     

    Hence to get the the registry using -ai2 or -ai3 at my end, I need to change the string from

    /v Install /d %%S\\GCSE.EXE\" -gm2 -ai1\" /f"
    to
    /v Install /d \"%%S\\GCSE.EXE -gm2 -ai1\" /f"

    Hence the whole modified config with Program Title displayed at ROE is

    ;!@Install@!UTF-8!
    Title="GoogleChrome"
    BeginPrompt="GoogleChrome\n\nInstall GoogleChrome\n\n\nAvailable command-line switches:\n\n-ai\tSilent unattended installation\n-ai1\tPassive unattended installation\n-ai2\tPassive RunOnceEx installation\n\n\nClick \"Yes\" to install.  Click \"No\" to cancel."
    ExtractTitle="GoogleChrome"
    ExtractDialogText="Please wait while the installation routine is extracted"
    FinishMessage="GoogleChrome is successfully installed."
    GUIMode="1"
    GUIFlags="1+8+2048"
    HelpText="GoogleChrome\n\nSwitchless execution will install GoogleChrome\nin a passive unattended mode.\n\n\nAvailable command-line switches:\n\n-ai\tSilent unattended installation\n-ai1\tPassive unattended installation\n-ai2\tPassive RunOnceEx installation"
    RunProgram="ChromeSE.msi"
    ;Silent T-13[-ai]
    AutoInstall="ChromeSE.msi /qn"
    ;Passive [-ai1]
    AutoInstall1="ChromeSE.msi"
    ;RunOnceEx [-ai2]
    AutoInstall2="hidcon:reg add HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx\\GCSE /ve /d \"Google Chrome SE\" /f"
    AutoInstall2="hidcon:reg add HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx\\GCSE /v Install /d \"%%S\\GCSE.EXE -gm2 -ai1\" /f"
    ;Silent ROE [-ai3]
    AutoInstall3="hidcon:reg add HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx\\GCSE /ve /d \"Google Chrome SE\" /f"
    AutoInstall3="hidcon:reg add HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\RunOnceEx\\GCSE /v Install /d \"%%S\\GCSE.EXE -gm2 -ai\" /f"
    ;!@InstallEnd@!

     

    Verified got ROE entry, like this.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\GCSE]
    @="Google Chrome SE"
    "Install"="C:\\GCSE.EXE -gm2 -ai"

    Very strange indeed. I just run gcse -gm2 -ai3 on the command line again, then check the RunOnceEx key and still no entry created.
    (For your info, I did not test for slipstream. I just unpack the addon, run the ROE command line syntax.)
    For what I know, this is the method I usually test for ROE. If can't create RunOnceEx entry this way, later when slipstream, no ROE installation will take place.

    I was testing your addon due to some queries in MSFN forum which I referred to your post. (Noted that shortcut only created in All Users Start Menu)
    I couldn't get -ai2 or -ai3 to work as there is no registry entry created.
    Opened the config.txt and spotted error.

     

    The partial string of

     

    Install /d %%S\\GCSE.EXE\" -gm2 -ai1\" /f"

    should be

    Install /d \"%%S\\GCSE.EXE\" -gm2 -ai1\" /f"

    Hence \" is missing at begining of %%S\\GCSE.EXE\"

    Perhaps for your consideration also to give a title so that program title is visible during ROE installation
