Search the Application Installs forum for SyMoNsAyS topic on Firefox and you'll find a batch I wrote that you can surely modify to fit your browser and I'm almost sure I saw a topic from prathapml about this using inf's but this is not a recent topic. Search and you'll find.

One thing is sure, I'm gonna try to do so for the next version. The problem is that I'm not sure about multiple selection mechanism from SendTo. It work for process like sending files to CD-RW/DVD-RW and zip I think but I did not search serioulsy how to find a way to get through this process. My spare time is limited for now but your request in mine also and as soon as I have one week or two to work on this, I will try to add this feature.

It use the maximum cabinet compression type which is LZX 21 (same as the Windows CD source files).

@Yzöwl Thanks for this one. I've never thought PUSHD could be used with ending dots. @Rico.JohnnY If I were you I would use Yzöwl syntax. Much better

For XP SP2... Windows XP File Protection Hack or Disabling Windows File Protection Permanently This hack is used in a RyanVM pack addon and it seem to be a time tested solution.

You could do something like that... SET CurrDir=%CD% CD.. SET InstPath=%CD% CD %CurrDir%

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it. Personally, it's the first version I'm happy with.

And /C for extracting files only.

CAB Tools 1.8 See first post for details and download link. Drop 1.5 and get this one. It's a little bit better. Any bug ?

[quote name='EgOrus' post='426062' date='Nov 27 2005, 01:23 PM']Can anyone explain why RaveRod change regkey value in sfc_os.dll ? Old one - SFCDisable not work or blocked?[/quote] The answer is in the question. When SFCDisable value is FFFFFF9D, then SFCDisable is reset so FFFFFF9D is not working with SP2. Using a different name for this registry entry, make the use of FFFFFF9D working again.

The reg file is OK but when it is applied is important. Using CMDLINES.TXT will solve your problem. CMDLINES.TXT

Maybe you can set Administrator UserName with oobeinfo.ini instead of winnt.sif. I have never used it but for informations about this file, look at ref.chm from deploy tools.

I did that test many months ago and only few MS files get compressed correctly. And for any speed gain, it's like any other compression program: smaller file but slower execution. It don't worth to go there exept if you can live with an unstable system.

kelsenellenelvian, I would be stupid to not like this icon but I'm sure you'll understand if I ask you where this icon come from. If it's your own work, be sure this icon is in the next build.

You can't add text to this list but you can change one listed. You'll have to open help.exe from system32 folder (with Resource Hacker) and edit entry of Message Table. Windows File Protection won't let you do it easily but it can be done.

Thanks for the idea. I gonna try an INF compiled in SFX archive. That should be perfect for a small installer.

Looks like some of my ISP servers were down few hours but now it's up and running. You should be able to download v1.5 Like kelsenellenelvian said, it's the installer... I use Inno Setup (free) and the minimum setup file size is around 250Kb. I know it's stupid to have a 280Kb installer for a 12Kb file but this way I have an uninstaller and an easy link creation in SendTo folder. Any suggestions about a way to build a smaller installer are welcome. And for your information, no more files are added except cabtool.exe and change.log in Program Files folder. This program don't use executables like cabarc or makecab. Instead, it use the Win32 APIs (Windows 2000 and higher).

Replacing a few megabytes application with a 12Kb executable... It's good to read that kind of comments. Thank you guys.

Hi, RyanVM I use the compression of Makecab object from catsrvut.dll which is LZX:21 For the bug report, in fact it was by design. I was needing it fast so I did the minimum but I had completed this part this week-end so now, subdirectories are include in Cabinet file creation from folders.

Well, you can try to trim down more installation files like this, but at the end the installation will be the same. Playing with inf's is useful if you remove components, otherwise it don't worth the effort.

-.-PhanTom-.-, I did that test last year and I notice no difference in a CLEAN installation of XP. I think you can remove those inf section without problems.

I added a new program to replace the old scripts : CAB Tool

From MSDN... A call to SetWindowPos and it should be fixed.

Well Nepali, YOUR sfc_os.dll look good. Can YOU explain how YOU patched it ? Maybe these links will refresh your memory... Disabling Windows File Protection Permanently Windows XP File Protection Hack I know you was not meaning that you made it. I saw that you replied to few posts lately about disabling WFP and you put link to my patched file and it's ok. I prefer that you post a link instead of including the file directly in your post. Duplicate files take spaces on MSFN server(s) and admins would agree with that. Take care.

The ShellExecute API should do it well. ShellExecute - Open default browser
