Nah, not random. I agree with Incroyable HULK The order will be 001 0010 0011 0012 0013 0014 0015 0016 0017 0018 0019 002 003 004 005 0050 006 007 008 009 The preceding 0s does affect the order. Use the same amount of digits for each entry. If you have less then 100 entries, then 3 digits will be fine. More then 100 but less then 1000, then 4 would be good.

XP Home has not got dynamic disk support! XP Home will not see simple, spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID-5 volumes. This means it will not see the volumes on HDDs created with XP Professional. This is no negligible difference. There are some other items that Home does not have, including the items not installed by Professional by default. If you have a basic system, with basic needs, then XP Home maybe enough. But I know I want Professional because of the major differences between them.

Text files in Notepad support black text on a white background. Notepad does not support Rich Text Format. You may want to use Wordpad? Wordpad supports Rich Text Format. The RTF file is saved as a binary file, with stores the formatting that you have applied. Files created with Notepad are not binary and can be easily viewed and edited by any DOS or Windows environment.

LSX compresses much more with it's algorithm then to MSZip. The trade off is it may take more time to decompress with LZX, but you save on the size of the cab file. Multiple files require a ddf file for MakeCab to compress them. A single file can be compressed with MakeCab in a single commandline. The program used is the thread title.

The patch would change a number of bytes within the original file. That is what a patch does. I have used the Neowin Uxtheme Multipatcher and it works well.

Yes, CALL accepts LABELs as a target. Type CALL /? at a command prompt for more information.

Updated to version 1.8. Please see 1st post for information and download link. Updated and good features added.

Edit: Great !!! I have it now. Will look at it. Thanks.

msiexec.exe is the interpreter that executes msi files. Without specifying it, the system has to check the registry for the association to what executes msi files. Same could be shown if you wanted to open a text file. You could type Notepad file.txt. Wait will not work on file.txt alone Being explicit is usually best method.

try msiexec /i file.msi /qb RunOnceEx should wait for msiexec to finish.

1. Do not think you can. 2. Same directory is easiest. 3. Depends on your method of installation. GuiRunOnce is in $OEM$\$1 and RunOnceEx can be almost anywhere, with a cd letter locate function. 4. Do not understand the question.

start /wait msiexec /i file.msi /qb

For your information. Text in WinWaitActive is an optional parameter. This is valid: WinWaitActive("title") and this WinWaitActive("title", "") and even this for the current active window WinWaitActive("")

Uxtheme Multi-Patcher should help you.

I use a 10 minute timeout. If I do not attend the PC, then it will shutdown. A simple messagebox takes care of it. I run an Au3 script from the RunOnce key to take care of shortcuts, possible windows, change ini settings for RainLendar and then perform a countdown for the shutdown.

Try setup.exe /AUTO. It would be a WinAce SFX installer ?

Windows XP Pro confirmed as working.

That is because the comparison has been edited. Edit: Specifing changes can save misleading people.

I will not alter the shell extension library. This would affect the editor, perhaps a rewrite of CMenu to acommodate the changes... The current extension works fine. This is my final discision on this matter.

The author's webpage is here. Nagging may prove useless?

@urie Thanks. I have noticed the problem myself. Inno Setup v5.1.5 and up need different identification and innounp to work with. It will be fixed in the next version. @atomizer The shell extension is not of my creation, so I have no choice available. Information is passed from the extension to CMenu.exe. Choice is available with CMenu.exe that I created. If the entension is not shown on the area or selection, then CMenu is unavailable.

Type SET at a command prompt and press return. You will have a display of: variable=value The variable will be your %systendrive% etc, and value is the path or suitable value.

%ProgramFiles%\*.cmd

Looks like you have an imbalance with the double quotes. Only 3 are shown. That is odd!

msiexec is the interpreter that runs msi files. My method is the correct way, where as your method is using %ComSpec% to search for the association to run the filetype. I do not think leaving out msiexec would make your command fail? But your problem maybe not specifiing the path to the msi?
