I attach my reg:
What tools u use to convert reg to cab?
I used reg2inf to convert reg to inf but don't know how to convert inf to cab.
There should be a simpler way? Thanks Kels

I use WillyPad to convert the reg file --> http://www.chez.com/snoopy81/en/willy.htm

Once the entries file and the inf file are filled out I use cabtool on the folder to make the .cab file --> http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...7469&hl=cabtool

Oooops forgot to add your addon whistling.gif

I do hope that, WillyPad hasn't been used to make many of your addons, because the results it has produced are frankly disgraceful.

Compare it with my 'hand produced' offering:

Thanks Kels and Yzöwl for that advices.

@Yzöwl, how did u convert reg to cab?

@Kels,
I've downloaded both the WillyPad and CAB tool.
I opened up my MyComputer.reg with WillyPad and run the "INF file Wizard" in Tools tab.
I typed "MyComp" for both the "application's name" and "short name" and click on OK w/o changing the default check boxes and i get this in WillyPad:

QUOTE
; *****************************************
; **** MyComp ****
; *****************************************
; INF created with the help of WillyPad.
; Freeware from Snoopy 81

[version]signature="$CHICAGO$"

[DefaultInstall]

[STRINGS]
KEY_REMOVE = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
KEY_RUNONCE = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"
KEY_CURRENT = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion"
;
; Following lines are just here for reference, you can delete them as needed.
KEY_RENAME = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RenameFiles"
KEY_RUN = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Adds Control Panel to right click of MY Computer
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Control Panel\command]
@="rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"

;And so on....


Then saved as "MyComp.inf".
Then I generated "MYCOMP.IN_" by opening "MyComp.inf" using CAB Tool.

Am i correct?
Where is .cab file?
i only have "MyComp.inf" (created with WillyPad) and "MYCOMP.INF_" (with CAB Tool)
Where's "Entries_MyComp.ini"?

@Yzöwl, how did u convert reg to cab?
I opened your reg file, looked at its content, corrected the errors and made some changes in it. Then I opened my text editor and typed in the same content in inf format. When that was done I looked at the instructions on RyanVMs site on how to make addons!
<Edit>
If you're interested, here is your corrected reg file to match the content of the cabbed and compressed inf.
