Customizing WinRAR SFX for customized installers
Astalavista replied to totoymola's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
I also hacked the default RAR file icon. I can't post it here since it looks like the head of G. Bush on a platter. I found the icon at a Muslim website. -

SetScriptWaitTimeout does not work
Astalavista replied to Astalavista's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
my bro bought a new com today. Tested the latest wpi, guess what half way through Corel Draw 12, I get the error. I used the version without the setscriptwaitimeout and it worked with my regtweak. I told u so. I already found out how to safely remove the setscriptwaittimeout from wpi.hta and generate.js and guess what it works GREAT. with the my regtweak and the cleanup.cmd hasi i think u should double check why your script does not work. -

Unbelievable problem with Firefox installation
Astalavista replied to midiboy's topic in Application Installs
here is a clue. what u put in u can remove. if u dont want the themes and extensions i hv MAKE one for youself. That is why there is a guide for you to customize and make your own. If you don't want Simonsay's plugins... open up his package with winrar, and remove the plugins, it isnt too hard.\ no one is forcing u to use the bookmarks, extensions, themes, plugins and etc. personally i find the plugins that simon bundled as very useful. but to each his own. it just means u hv to do it from scratch.... and it is going to take u a lot of effort and time. Unlike our packages... your done in about 5 to 10 mins -

Unbelievable problem with Firefox installation
Astalavista replied to midiboy's topic in Application Installs
Can i make a suggestion to you. why dont u try using this method? "C:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -profile defaults\profile" click on my signature to Firefox here is my updated version Your Download-Link (english): http://rapidshare.de/files-en/279801/profile.exe.html Your Download-Link (german): http://rapidshare.de/files-de/279801/profile.exe.html i intentionally did not make the sfx silent. do that on your own. you wont see the changes unless u delete your C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla for more info read this http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST...210#entry231092 heck here is the method 1. if you are planning to use Simonsay's Firefox.exe and have no plans to install it to another drive or place. All you need to do is... 1. Go to start menu and click on Run. Type the following to start Firefox using the default profile. "C:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -profile defaults\profile" 2. Install any extensions and themes and customize how you want everything to look like. Then you can zip up this directory. User Winrar to Create a SFX With this comment. ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Path=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile SavePath Silent=1 Overwrite=1 If u plan to install firefox to another directory or another drive like D:\. you will need to follow the rest of the instructions. I only used the email as a referrence rather than a general guide. I didn't even use the SFX maker. How do u test if your profilesfx.exe worked? Answer: 1. Uninstall firefox, 2. Go to c:\documents_and_settings\<username>\application_data\mozilla\ 3. Delete that folder 4. Reinstall simonsay's firefox.exe 5. Run your profilesfx.exe 6. Start firefox 7. A windows will appear if u want to import bookmarks 8. When firefox now opens it will have all the extensions, bookmarks, themes, and any settings. dont forget to clear your cache, passwords, page visited, and etc. prior to use of this method. -

SetScriptWaitTimeout does not work
Astalavista replied to Astalavista's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
I suggest u read the info on Microsoft's webpage It can better explain the bug. Until either bonedaddy or britishbulldog tells me i am sticking to the method that i know works. I can live with out dependencies, or exclusions. rather than installing xp i rather make guides and solutions to problems at MSFN. big waste of 2 days trying to figure out what was wrong. And the solution was so simple. -
SetScriptWaitTimeout does not work
Astalavista replied to Astalavista's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
why dont u try installing xp 20 times in one day, right before x-mas. And tell me if u want to do it anytime soon AGAIN if u dont have the bug well and good for u. It just means that u are not installing anything massive. why dont u post your wpi so i can take a look at your programs. I got 50 of my programs to install without any problems w/ my regtweak that i am using. Do u hv Corel Draw 12, Pinnacle Studio Plus 9.2.1, PeachTree Accounting 2005, Micrsoft Office 2003 Full Suit with Frontpage 2003, Norton Internet Security 2005, Adobe Premier, Adobe Photoshop, etc. I hv several more giant software that i install. NO problems now. Everything is being installed on DVD no on the hard drive. I know of at least 20 other people experiencing the same problems. And if there wasn't a bug why would microsoft release a fix for it??? I suggest that u test it out yourself. and tell me the results. I hv already contacted Britishbulldog. on how to get rid of the code that doesn't work. Link to the ERROR and fix http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35224 http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35400 -
SetScriptWaitTimeout does not work
Astalavista replied to Astalavista's topic in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)
sorry... after so many installs i dont want to do it again. I am sticking to what i know works. i know that your script removes it after it is done. if i run my regtweak before wpi, and then your wpi also sends a key to the registry it overwrites mine. I dont want that to happen. I need to disable it. Either that or i will just stick to the version i hv now. Unlike other people only a few will install Massive Programs like i do. Pinnacle 9.2 is almost 500 MB When u hv worked out the bugs i will use yours. Until then i am going to just use my regtweaks before wpi, and use cleanup.cmd. It works. i think bonedaddy, and i know for sure several other who are using my regtweaks are happy now. -

Computer name? Duplicate name on network?!
Astalavista replied to Sidekicks's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
