RubySoftware
Is it possible to do so that the icon corresponded for every application?
Tnx!

Only if you use multiple windows. You can set the icon for each window.

RubySoftware,
I have not had a chance to try your alternative RunOnceEX again, I am very busy right now, maybe tonight I can run a VMWARE test.
I do have a question, at the end of your example in the previous post, you put RunOnceEX right at the end before EXIT, is this needed and why ?
Thanks again
Sull

This is to run my alternative RunOnceEx, so it starts installing. If it is not installed at the time of script execution, run the installer instead of the RunOnceEx.exe application.

Ok, call me a noob, but I don't get it:
'Something' must be added to the registry first.
So... what is something then?
Nifty little tool by the way, can't wait to fool around with it

Well, the something are the application entries needed to let Alternative RunOnceEx work, which will be added to the registry when running the BAT or CMD file which Alternative RunOnceEx Script Creator creates.

1. Try this:

 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden]
 "Type"="checkbox"
 "Text"="@shell32.dll,-30508"
 "WarningIfNotDefault"="@shell32.dll,-28964"
 "HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
 "RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced"
 "ValueName"="ShowSuperHidden"
 "CheckedValue"=dword:00000000
 "UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001
 "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001
 "HelpID"="shell.hlp#51103"

2. I don't know.

You forgot the quotes in REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "( TITLE HERE ) /f.

And this SHOULD work with mine too, if you do NOT use start /wait rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess, but run the Alternative RunOnceEx installer ONLY ONCE AT THE END. After inserting the first window entry's in the registry, you must set the %KEY% to (...)\Ruby Software\RunOnceEx2, to define the secound window. That should work.

Example:

@echo off
cmdow @ /HID

SET KEY="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ruby Software\RunOnceEx"

RunOnceEx

EXIT

January 25, 2008

No problem.

January 24, 2008

I've just uploaded a new version (1.6). Does this fix your problem?

If you're NOT using this for an unattended installation: Remove the registry value for Alternative RunOnceEx in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run first!

January 24, 2008

That secound window should NOT install your applications again, it should only add this RunOnceEx to the RunOnce registry key. If that's all what happens, I can't fix it.

January 24, 2008

Found a way to fix that DPI issue. Now uploading version 1.0.1. (build 64).

January 23, 2008

I'm now trying to fix this 'DPI issue'.

January 23, 2008

Then, your DPI setting is wrong. That must be set to 96.

January 23, 2008

That could be because your screen resolution is 800x600. You need to set the screen resolution to at least 1024x768.

January 23, 2008

Not yet.

Edit: Fixed. See first post.

Set Tempfolder (c:\Temp) for all users? · January 22, 2008

Make a batch file which sets the %TEMP% and %TMP% environment variables, and add it to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

January 22, 2008

You aren't doing anything wrong. Windows just starts after RunOnceEx.exe is finished, but that RunOnceEx calls itself again because another window must be loaded. Windows doesn't wait for that other instance of RunOnceEx.exe which is running. I'll try to fix this.

January 22, 2008

That can be seen as an issue, yes.

Awesome job....
Just curious... what did you write this app in?

Delphi 7

January 21, 2008

This:

cmdow @ /HID

@echo off

REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /V "Alternative RunOnceEx by Ruby Software" /D "Insert path to the installer here!!! /verysilent" /f

You should replace Insert path to the installer here!!! with the path to the installer (e.g. %systemdrive%\RunOnceEx.exe)

January 21, 2008

Yes, but you also need to add the entry's for the secound window to the RunOnceEx2 REGISTRY KEY. If you use my Script Creator, set the RunOnceEx Window Number to 2 while exporting the secound script.

January 21, 2008

That's usually not possible, as the application entry's are deleted at the end of application runs, but you can add a .bat or .cmd file to the RunOnceEx2 key, which adds the new applications to the RunOnceEx key, but this will show a secound RunOnceEx window after the first (because you use the RunOnceEx2 key).

January 21, 2008

That will add the RunOnceEx to the RunOnce key again. But it might also install the applications again. I'll try to fix the problem.

Edit: It should be fixed now.

January 21, 2008

Of course, but I don't have a language system yet. I'll send you the necessary information and include it in the next version.

January 20, 2008

'Something' must be added to the registry first.

January 20, 2008

Hello,

I have created a RunOnceEx Script Creator which I have made for my own Alternative RunOnceEx, but it can also create scripts for Windows' RunOnceEx feature (however the customized graphics and text, except the title, will not work in that case).

Screenshot:

Download (Version 1.0.1, Jan 24, 2008)

VERSION HISTORY

Version 1.0.1 (Build 64)

- Multi language support

- Fixed DPI issues (still requires 1024x768 screen resolution or above though)

Version 1.0 (Build 49)

- First release

January 20, 2008

I have just updated it. The new version 1.3 adds support for multiple windows.

January 19, 2008

%systemroot%\system32\RunOnceEx.exe (Marked as system file, so you don't find it in Windows Explorer, just like the dllcache folder)

If you want to uninstall it: Use my Alternative RunOnceEx uninstaller, available here.
