the "directory list" function appears to be missing in 2.6. is this a an executable that can be downloaded elsewhere?
MHz
The "Directory List" function is in v2.6 as just verified with a clean install. You could perhaps try to uninstall and install again which may refresh the entry if it is missing. You can download CMenu from here.

i d/l'd that earlier today and there was no directory list functionality, force delete, and others were missing. i d/l'd it again and the contents of the archive were the same. uninstalled/reinstalled and all the functionality is restored. this is on a fresh xp install.

the MD5/CRC signatures never match those posted however.
this is mine: BB13F647E786CF6743A7F36DB4C060C5

I am glad that restoration was successful. Very strange how it failed to add the entries the 1st time but it might be a one off event of some disturbance that caused failure. Not much I can do about unexpected events such as this.

Thanks for the hash as I like to be informed of any tempering that may have happened on the CMenu site.
I just downloaded CMenu v2.6 and the hash is correct as listed. Do note that I hash CMenu.exe and not the zip archive that stores it. The hash you present is the zip archive.

any insights of cmenu on windows vista? i just tried to install it and i got an error message windows that tells me that it "cannot copy file" to C:\Program Files.....

also, is there another tool that lets me at least run exe and msi files with parameters in vista?

EDIT: i just made execute with parameters dll that works in vista. i will post it on the members projects forum.
if someone can fix the CMenu to work on vista would be great as i want mora than just run with parameters.

thanks.
MHz
vista is wow for problems so be patient please.
ajua
my own dll was giving me problems. but the CMenu setup can be run as administrator and it install fine. i just found that some minutes ago.
just run it as admin and everything is working, at least the identify installer and run with parameters wich i have tested. to run msi files with parameters you dont need to change the as admin but it is needed in order to run exe files.

Great tool! This is accomplishing most everything I need.

I was wondering though. I may have over looked but can I identify the installer from the windows command line and possibly pass those variables to do a silent install. What I am trying to do is poll a folder with all kinds of applications I have downloaded and automatically install them.

Thanks

You can call CMenu.exe via command line, but you would only invoke the Gui "Identify Installer". I could create a modification to a special executable to allow this, to pass a command line and to execute the path of the file with suitable switches, but you may miss out on the files that cannot be recognized though.

Let me know if you want to continue with this and I may see if I can create a prototype for you to try out. smile.gif
jbs123
I would so like to try this out as a prototype. If the installer wasn't identified it could easily error out I guess and generate a log file?

I also sent you a PM.

Sorry about the late reply but the board did not send me an email notifying of your PM. I have replied to your PM.

Logging can be done.

MHz this is an awesome utility!

Many pages back someone said it's just one of those things that you don't know how you survived without, I agree 100%.

I know this is posted in the Application Installs section of the forum, but I searched and this MSFN is huge! So my apologises that this is the wrong place (I also realise that I'm way outta my depth on this thread).

My question is regarding the 'move to' option in your context menu. Am I being completely dumb or is there a way to add multiple args to that command?

I'll try and explain what I'm trying to do. For instance - all my CD's are kept in a folder R:\Full CD's, this contains all the artist folders. Same for Music Vids, software etc etc.

How could I create a context menu option to say "Move To R:\Full CD's " but open that particular folder so I could then browse to the artist folder and move the file to there?

Honestly I've tried to cobble some commands on the same line together, but all I get is a registry error warning.

Again. I'm so sorry this is in the wrong thread, but any help from anyone would be much appreciated.

Hi Balders and welcome to MSFN.

Thanks for the mention of appreciation. smile.gif

The editor and shell extension is not my property just for clarification. I make use of them as per conditions of the Revenger inc. license supplied with CMenuExtender. The CMenu.exe and some of the other support files is what I created.

The copy to folder and move to folder preset options seem to want a static path to send to. I would recommend a script to do the custom operation that you want. I made a AutoIt3 script which when compiled may do what you have described as a custom starting path for the folder dialog.

CODE

; usage: script.exe copy|move source [ destination ]

; CMenu settings:
; Within editor, select New Item -> Custom command.
; Add suitable caption, browse for this compiled script and then
; add into the Commandline 'copy "custom path\to\copy\to"'.
; you can just use copy or move without any
; other parameter for default destination search.
; set the append file checkbox and then click OK button to accept.

Global $action, $destination

Switch $CMDLINE[0]
Case 2
_CheckAction()
$destination = FileSelectFolder($action & ' source to', '')
If Not @error And $destination <> '' Then
$source = $CMDLINE[2]
_PerformAction()
EndIf
Case 3
_CheckAction()
$destination = FileSelectFolder($action & ' source to', '', Default, $CMDLINE[2])
If Not @error And $destination <> '' Then
$source = $CMDLINE[3]
_PerformAction()
EndIf
Case Else
_HelpMsgBox()
EndSwitch

Exit

Func _CheckAction()
; set $action to copy or move
Switch $CMDLINE[1]
Case 'copy'
$action = 'copy'
Case 'move'
$action = 'move'
Case Else
_HelpMsgBox()
EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func _HelpMsgBox()
; show a Msgbox with helpful details
Local $text = _
$CMDLINE[0] & ' parameters passed. 2 or 3 parameters required.' & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
'Command used:' & @CRLF & _
$CMDLINERAW & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
'Usage:' & @CRLF & _
'"' & @ScriptName & '" copy|move source [destination]' & @CRLF & @CRLF & _
'Description:' & @CRLF & _
'Use "copy" or "move" as 1st parameter.' & @CRLF & _
'Use a valid source file or folder as 2nd parameter.' & @CRLF & _
'Use an optional, valid destination folder path as 3rd parameter.'
MsgBox(0, Default, $text)
Exit
EndFunc

Func _PerformAction()
; call the copy or move function dependant on $action
If $action = 'copy' Then
_Copy($source, $destination)
Else
_Move($source, $destination)
EndIf
EndFunc

Func _Copy($source, $destination)
; copy file or folder
Local $oShellApp = ObjCreate("shell.application")
If Not @error Then
$oShellApp.NameSpace($destination).CopyHere($source)
EndIf
EndFunc

Func _Move($source, $destination)
; move file or folder
Local $oShellApp = ObjCreate("shell.application")
If Not @error Then
$oShellApp.NameSpace($destination).MoveHere($source)
EndIf
EndFunc

I would recommend to test it with some temporary test files to ensure it works ok before doing your required tasks. You may need AutoIt3 to compile the script into an executable. You can get AutoIt3 from here.

smile.gif

Edit:
The above script may not handle multiple marked files/folders as the context menu extension handles them differently. I maybe able to adapt the script to do multiple files if needed.

Right click on a executable.
Then go to "More options", then go to "Installer Tools" and then go to "Identify Installer"

Someone posted a link to a CMENU 2.6.EXE file and since I cannot get the file in the first post to download, its the only one I have. But I am hesitant to run it without a confirmed MD5.

Can someone post an MD5 for version 2.6 EXE.

There is also SendToA3X by MHz just lets say it is a more advanced version of CMenu

CODE

I have added a link to the current CMenu homepage in the 1st post so details of the MD5 etc can be viewed there.

Hi. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but, with Cmenu, the "more option" don't appear with the *.exe files, only when I right-clicked the folder that contain the *.exe. My OS is WinXP Pro modified with nLite

Update of my post

With Cmenu doesn't work, but works great with SendtoA3x... Thanks

I sent a request to Kaspersky Virus Lab to check for being false positive.

Thank you

Edit:
I have been informed that the message is a warning only as the keywords in the description are "not a virus". The file that is being flagged is TheHook.dll which is used by AutoItMacroGenerator02.exe to enable the recording ability of the desktop shell. To the best of my knowledge, AutoItMacroGenerator02.exe is not using the TheHook.dll in a malicious manner. The warning is shown and the end user needs to decide whether to trust.

Hello,

CMenu.exe_.AutoIt.AMG.TheHook.dll - not-a-virus:Monitor.Win32.Hooker.s

This file is already detected by our extended bases as a potentially risk program.

Please quote all when answering.
The answer is relevant to the latest bases from update sources.


Your program uses a library which might be (or is) also used by malicious programs. As you see, the detection reads "not a virus", so it's just a warning. For instance RAdmin or mIRC are detected in a similiar way.

To avoid detection, consider moving the functions you need from the dll in question to the main executable
I have found a file which seems to be source code for that dll: http://basic-compiler.com/mla/2003-March/013507.html - hope that helps.
