the 7zip archive contains both files...Alt is Version 2... http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1S85IFH6F92RG1JQPXPV9E9IGZ will be here for 7 days.

here. acemcp603.inf

it uses inno setup...run it for the first time using /saveinf...then copy the inf to the same directory and use /loadinf (make sure to use silent inno setup swicthes too). Notes: Do not run the antivirus thing because it requires you to press a key to continue...

well, not real sure if you opened the link i posted, but what it says is if you use Roxio GoBack or Norton Systemworks in your UA, it causes the error also...just so you know.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330134 check that out. whats funny is that the only other time anyone gets this message is when installing a windows xpsp1 from an RIS image.

VBS is standard in windows, so you have that...you should have .mp3 and mp3file in your regsitry...tho you may not have mp3's associated, so you may not have them...try associating mp3s with winamp and you should get those reg keys in there...also...I would use the vbs or reg file posted since those are the best methods...I prefer reg since you DO NOT have to specify a mp3 file, itll open any mp3 file along with a game. Tho you do have to specify the game in the reg file.

Ok, this is a work in progress (for those who dunno what WIP means)...basically this is what is going on...I believe I stated this before, but here is an update...I guess if an admin wants to move it to my previous thread, then ok...back to the post now. My mom lives in another state so I have no way to really test this other than on my pc...more to why thats a problem later. She has a HP PhotoSmart 7700 printer with the memory card reader built in. She used to have HP Photo and Imaging installed, but I think its a bunch of bloat since all she wants to do is download her pictures into a year folder then a month folder (2005\Jan). So I worked on a batch for like a month only to lose it to QBFC (because under instructions from some people who said it was possible to change version info or the icon, which resulted in a corrupted exe) but oh well...I was really mad by this, not so much at the program or anyone other than myself for not testing it before erasing my cmd file...but thats what ya get when you dont keep backups. Now, she has like 4 removable drives, A:, E:, F: and G:...one is a SanDisk memory card reader and another is the HP...dunno what the other one is, unless its her mp3. well, the HP is G: but I wanted to make this universal so in the event that she gets more removable devices, reinstalls windows, or takes one off, it doesnt kill my batch. I cannot do something like the cdrom variable (a: b: c: d: e:...kinda thing) as it will result in a Windows Error (dealt with that for a while when using the FIND CDROM code) because if a disk isnt in every removable drive, windows will error and bring up a prompt (very annoying)...Nor can I use MountedDevices reg key since I am unsure if it will always have the same info for the drive. So what I have done is used %~d1 (must be this way since xxcopy doesnt like %DIR%*) to get the drive letter...which means if she drags the drive icon from My Computer to the batch, it will process that drive (Only way I can think of to do this), this is where I would like suggestions on how to get the drive. It gets the source drive (%~d1) then goes on to verify the correct folders are created. (again year\month for 4 years). It does not stop if the dir is already created, it will still open the memory card and see if there are any files it needs to copy to the month folders (ie, allows for multiple runs). SIDENOTE: I will include an eraser for the files that have already been downloaded, but right now, its in test mode. Then it uses xxcopy16 (since you do not have to install this...whereas the 32bit version you do) to copy only the files within a certain year-month and puts it in the correct folder.. Well anyways, here is the batch file...took me a month the first time, lost that one, and this one took about 4 hours. @ECHO OFF set DIR=%~d1 set MP=%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures IF NOT EXIST "%MP%"\2004 md "%MP%"\2004 IF NOT EXIST "%MP%"\2005 md "%MP%"\2005 IF NOT EXIST "%MP%"\2006 md "%MP%"\2006 IF NOT EXIST "%MP%"\2007 md "%MP%"\2007 for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Jan (md "%%i"\Jan && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Jan /I /DO:%%~ni-1 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Jan /I /DO:%%~ni-1 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Feb (md "%%i"\Feb && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Feb /I /DO:%%~ni-2 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Feb /I /DO:%%~ni-2 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Mar (md "%%i"\Mar && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Mar /I /DO:%%~ni-3 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Mar /I /DO:%%~ni-3 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Apr (md "%%i"\Apr && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Apr /I /DO:%%~ni-4 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Apr /I /DO:%%~ni-4 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\May (md "%%i"\May && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\May /I /DO:%%~ni-5 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\May /I /DO:%%~ni-5 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Jun (md "%%i"\Jun && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Jun /I /DO:%%~ni-6 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Jun /I /DO:%%~ni-6 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Jul (md "%%i"\Jul && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Jul /I /DO:%%~ni-7 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Jul /I /DO:%%~ni-7 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Aug (md "%%i"\Aug && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Aug /I /DO:%%~ni-8 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Aug /I /DO:%%~ni-8 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Sep (md "%%i"\Sep && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Sep /I /DO:%%~ni-9 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Sep /I /DO:%%~ni-9 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Oct (md "%%i"\Oct && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Oct /I /DO:%%~ni-10 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Oct /I /DO:%%~ni-10 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Nov (md "%%i"\Nov && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Nov /I /DO:%%~ni-11 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Nov /I /DO:%%~ni-11 /Q3 /ZS for /D %%i in ("%MP%\20*") DO IF NOT EXIST "%%i"\Dec (md "%%i"\Dec && xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Dec /I /DO:%%~ni-12 /Q3 /ZS) ELSE xxcopy %DIR%\*.* %%~si\Dec /I /DO:%%~ni-12 /Q3 /ZS 1. This batch is NOT complete...%DIR% variable is set just for the drive and not the folder within memory cards, so that needs to be changed, which will be on my end once I find out what her folders are on the stick. 2. It puts everything in My Pictures folder. 3. It sets up 4 years with the 12 months in each year. 4. xxcopy uses the year and month to determine what files to copy to what folder, it also does not bring up the summary at the end, or the title at the beginning (courtesy of /ZS) also, does not display files copied when copying (courtesy of /Q3...tho I think its overridden somewhere, cuz I did a /DEBUG and it says I was using /Q2) 5. I believe the for commands are perfect, but suggestion are welcome... My purpose was to make this the EASIEST solution for her getting her pictures on her computer from the memory stick...it does not require user interaction other than dragging the drive to the batch...and this will be on her desktop so if you compare, dragging the drive would be the same as opening the program (maybe) and she has no menus to deal with. If anyone needs more explanation, let me know, and I will try to decipher what I wrote LOL. SIDENOTE: GOD I make some long posts

he isnt asking how...runonceex physically DOES NOT work on w2k without adding reg.exe from windows xp. More to the point, there is no reg.exe in windows 2000, unless you add it.

good god...thats a nice find, i never have figured that out and ive been doing this for 14 years...(working in dos i mean) though I did just find out about "for" about a year or 2 ago.

OK! Now how the hell does that work? or how did you find out about that? what I mean is I dont understand this portion ("%AllUsersProfile:\All Users=%\*")

to all those who downloaded my attachment before now...please redownload...I changed it so that the cmd window does not stay up...it now closes after making the exe file... Also, since some people have asked how this works, its like this 1. You create a 7z file that you want to turn into an SFX. 2. You have a txt file, using the same name as the 7z file 3. You have a sfx file that uses the same name again 4. It takes all 3 of these files and makes a exe file without you having to open a command windows and type "copy /b name.sfx + name.txt + name.7z name.exe" 5. You are able to do this by right clicking on the folder containing your 7z, txt and sfx files...obviously, it would probably be best if you didnt have more than one...although even if you had 20 in that folder, it would probably make EACH ONE into a seperate SFX file...havent tested, tho now that I think about it, I will. EDIT: yep, works perfectly...it works for any number of sfx, txt, and 7z files in a folder.

you need to add reg.ex_ from windows xp cd to windows 2000 cd...then it will work...you will also need to update txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf so it gets installed properly, but this topic is better suited in the unattended windows forum and not application installs.

well, it looks like you want %WINPATH% to expand to whatever...and in that case, you shouldnt need the caret at all...and I mentioned in my post that if you DID NOT want it expanded, then it was wrong...thats all, but from the post above this, you do want it to expand to D:\install or whatever. So, it is correct the way you have it, tho you could get rid of the carets, I would assume.

if you are using runonceex...then there couldnt possibly be any shortcuts "being created" unless you install something that installs a shortcut during your cleanup.cmd...which shouldnt be the case, since this is your cleanup...and as for the desktop refreshing...the del command does it by command window, and not technically through the gui...what i mean is the desktop refresh would only have a problem if del was manually going over to the shortcut and deleting it...but its not cuz thats not how it works...i honestly dont know why yours doesnt work, mine works fine...are you deleting the shortcuts from your userprofile and the alluserprofile? because some shortcuts gets placed there too.

there is one problem with your command...winpath isnt correct, it needs to be ^%WINPATH^% to not expand winpath to or whatever...

ok well, nobody knows this, but I have been working for a month on how to integrate to the right click menu of a directory/folder to take a 7z, sfx, and txt file and make an exe...mainly cuz im lazy and hate having to open command windows here and typing copy /b blah.sfx + blah.tx + blah.7z blah.exe...so I FINALLY figured it all out...It integrates into the HKCR\Directory\shell and HKCR\Folder\shell regkeys...its in reg_expand_sz because that is what I like HKCR to be in...causes me less agony since Ive noticed people complaining that some tweaks dont work for them as they do me...so here is the info for what it does %COMSPEC% /c "cd %L && for /f %%i in ('dir/b *.sfx') do copy /b %%~ni.sfx + %%~ni.txt + %%~ni.7z %%~ni.exe" AND LET ME TELL YOU, it took me FOREVER to finally get this, so I dont wanna hear anything bad about it NOTES: your sfx, 7z, and txt must all have the same name...like mp10setup.7z mp10setup.sfx mp10setup.txt...I guess that is where this isnt the best method in the world, but I keep all my sfx, txt and exe's together in a folder (I erase the 7z after ive created the exe) Ok without further ado, here is the registry info temp.reg

I use this for extracting driverpacks 7za.exe x -y -aoa %CDDRIVE%\$OEM$\Drivers\DriverPack_*.7z -o"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Drivers" I notice you have a \ at the end of the -o command...try removing that.

Yea, I would love a guide for how to get msnmsgs.msi to allow admin install...which I am assuming is what has happened here

I seriously dunno what the problem is...it found my SATA drive fine...during windows setup...maybe it depends on the type of chip or something...I have a DFI LP nF3 250 board.

@jdoe, here is the xp x64 version of sfc_os.dll...please reply with what to edit so that we can disable wfp...thank you. Rename sfc_os.txt to sfc_os.dl_ SFC_OS.txt
