    I really need help

    in Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI)

    Posted

    Hi there

    I am totally new at this.

    I really like to make an installation dvd with lots of programs.

    But I don't know how. I understand that Windows Post-Install does this.

    But I don't know how to use it ! I really like to but I don't understand.

    Is there a way to explain how to make it? a guide maybe?

    I must have such a installation dvd !

    already thanks

    i think i found a small problem in your iss you have these particular lines

    Source: {userappdata}\register.bat\register.bat; DestDir: {userappdata}\register.bat

    Source: {userappdata}\settings_overrides.ini\settings_overrides.ini; DestDir: {userappdata}\settings_overrides.ini

    should the register.bat & unregister.bat files be in the {app} folder instead of {userappdata}

    im saying this because mine are in my program files directory

    and also my settings_overrides.ini is in program files also,, why are yours in application data ?

    so judging from this scection here in your iss file

    [Files]Source: {app}\*.*; DestDir: {app}; Flags: recursesubdirs ignoreversion createallsubdirs

    Source: {userappdata}\register.bat\register.bat; DestDir: {userappdata}\register.bat

    Source: {userappdata}\settings_overrides.ini\settings_overrides.ini; DestDir: {userappdata}\settings_overrides.ini

    Source: {userappdata}\unregister.bat\unregister.bat; DestDir: {userappdata}\unregister.bat

    does that mean its not really important to name off or list every single little file thats going to be carried over ?

    sorry if im being a pain on this benners im just trying to get my head around it all, its complex but yet simple in a way ,, but its almost looking to simple to be true,,

    hi im going back to work soon so in alittle bit but i just poped in to say

    the file that needs to be ran that i was considering was the registry files were this

    register.bat file its commands inside it are

    AveDesk.exe /RegServer

    AveDesk.exe /AssocFiles

    so i guess this will have to run silently to register the dlls and stuff

    sorry i should of checked that out more indepth then a quick browse

    ill be back to look into this more later

    btw i added AveScripter

    with the addition of AH's-Weather

    i then customized and resized the bin doc with custom icons

    and the reason i want to send some settings / files to the application data current user place is to have the program start up with my custom made theme,, its not much just a bin and the ah weather

    $OEM$ didnot copy

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    I've gone through the FAQ and search the forum.

    1. My OEM folder is paralled to I386. However it did not copy.

    2. Oempreinstall = Yes in Winnt.sif

    3. I made the iso via nlite

    4. I'm using VMware. so I'm directly using the iso image .

    5. During setup(text mode) I can see the message at status bar that the files are being copied.

    still they are not copied

    Thanks for any advice.

    & Welcome

    I know its anal but the oem dir is actually $OEM$ simple mistake,if thats not it post your winnt.sif less your serial etc & then may comment further.

    Cheers

    MC.

    if this dosnt solve your problem also post your folder layout,,

    im trying to create an install of avdesk 1.3 and have all my created theme settings as well as my imports scripts added in as well as making the app register in the registry

    i understand what you mean about the import of registry and that sounds easy enough

    heres the hold up

    i need to send files to the

    (current user) program files directory

    (current user) application data folder

    create short cuts in startup and in Start Menu\Programs\AveDesk\

    plus have it import its own registry file

    btw this is a completly free application, its mainly a type of desktop custom docks that are eye candies

    you can find out more info from here

    http://avedesk.philc.ca/

    can you tell me where to start, this is technically my first creation of inno from the ground up, ive edited a few with you in the past but that was just simple editing, this to me feels like a different ball game

    thanks

    username and serial register

    lets say it stores its info in the registry,, ive been looking at the reg strings in every iss file and im not sure how to set it up,, now im not working on any program at this moment, but i know i have a program or 2 that im going to attempt to set it up this way,,

    is there any chance you may have a sample you could throw out with some fake serials just for demo..

    or do you feel its best to register the program after wards with a simple reg file ? i was just thinking while im in the iss why not give it a try to do everything :)

    @Benners

    can you check out this site

    http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php and download a copy of QuickStart Pack

    The Inno Setup QuickStart Pack includes additional third-party add-ons such as the ISTool script editor and Inno Setup Preprocessor. These add-ons are not official, have not been exhaustively tested, and are not required for general usage, but make Inno Setup easier to use, especially for new users. See the Third-Party Files page for more information.

    The Inno Setup QuickStart Pack also includes an easy to use option to download and install encryption support.

    its an all in one pack for in the inno setups and it can install silently with the /VERYSILENT

    But it needs to connect to the internet to download the extra files... is there a way we can just add the extra files to this program so it dosnt need to download them off the internet ?
