[Release] Unlocker 1.8.7

[Innocent Devil]

there is no need to make those shellextensions in HKCR and HKLM

UnlockerCOM.dll does it, it is Selfregistering DLL

regsvr32 /s UnlockerCOM.dll adds all those entries

only the Driver entries needed to add

I made a custom Unlocker Installer without ebay using NSIS

the NSIS script and the Custom installer attached

BTW

how to remove a DLL handle on sme exe?

here the UnlockerCOM.dll has still a handle on explorer.exe, the uninstaller calls taskkill to remove the handle

and proceed the uninstall otherwise the Unlocker folder and UnlockerCOM.dll could not be deleted (need a restart)

how can it accomplished without using taskkill by some win32 API calls to reomve the handle ??

I have also created a custom Unlocker installer:

unlocker.exe (573 KB)

You can use the following install command:

unlocker.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART

As I do like the Unlocker Assistant it is included. Only one icon is placed inside the Common Administrative Tools menu.

BTW I hate using the so-called ADDONS. Most addons don't come with proper uninstallers so you can't remove it if you want to. Also updating addons is not easy on a running system. I think addons are only useful when integrating stuff into the Windows system, like additional themes or fonts.

@ Acheron

+1 by me

i too dont fully like the idea of addons for common apps.

using NSIS for apps less comples install saves lots of space than INNO

btw i had few errors in my nsi script which prevented unlocker poping up .

fixed .nsi file attached

build using NSIS and install with /S switch

Hi, this is how i install unlocker :

I use a 7z-SFX with this files inside :

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
GUIMode="2"
SetEnvironment="UL=\"%ProgramFiles%\\Unlocker\""
RunProgram="cmd /c xcopy \"%%T\" %UL% /s /e /i /y"
RunProgram="regsvr32 /S \"%UL%\\UnlockerCOM.dll\""
RunProgram="hidcon:cmd REG ADD "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\Unlocker" /V "Language" /D "1036" /f"
;!@InstallEnd@!

the 1036 in the reg add is for french language

if you want english just put 1033 instead of it

I have updated the installer to fix Unlocker Assistant autorun and hide the icon by default.

This is more than a year later, but is this still available? This is exactly what I'm looking for... The download link is dead though...

[Acheron]

I have reuploaded the installer.

[mbazdell]

I have reuploaded the installer.

Awesome. Thanks a bunch!

Hi Acheron, can you reupload the link? It seems dead.

[Acheron]

I'm sorry for the dead link. I have updated the Unlocker installer to 1.8.9.

I know this wasn't your thread originally, but if you've taken over following through with updates, maybe a mod could let you change the title and first post accordingly?

Cheers and Regards

Creating custom installers for existing software is mostly done for my own needs. I upload these installers to my site so I can use them when fixing pc's. I have switched directory indexing on so if links change you can now visit:
