Pre-configure "Easy Home" for silent install

[Arie]

I've created a silent installation package for IE7Pro 1.2, which also adds several additional dictionaries. IE7Pro includes a custumisable web site overview page called Easy Home. I would like to configure Easy Home in advance, so that once my silent installation package for IE7Pro completes, Easy Home is already configured to my liking. Does anyone know how this can be done? I have watched for file and registry changes, but cannot discover where these Easy Home changes are saved. The HTML-file is included in a DLL-file and I can therefore not edit and save it.

res://C:\Program%20Files\IE7Pro\IE7ProRs.dll/easyhome.html

Anyone?

I think no one in the software forum part will understand what you are doing so I moved it to Application Installs . Let’s see if some one here knows how to help you out...

Figured it out myself and found out that it was more easy than I could imagine

The "Easy Homepage" settings are stored in easyhome.ini which can be found in %AppData%.

You can simply add your URL's underneath each other to this INI-file.

I now install IE7Pro 1.2 silently as follows:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
GUIMode="2"
OverwriteMode="0"
RunProgram="IE7proSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART"
RunProgram="hidcon:IE7Pro12.cmd"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Contents of IE7Pro12.cmd

CMDOW @ /HID
@ECHO OFF

SET COPYCMD=/Y

REM CREATE FOLDERS
MKDIR "%AppData%\IE7Pro"
MKDIR "%ProgramFiles%\IE7Pro\spelldic\de_DE"
MKDIR "%ProgramFiles%\IE7Pro\spelldic\fr_FR"
MKDIR "%ProgramFiles%\IE7Pro\spelldic\nl_NL"

REM CREATE BACKUP
IF EXIST "%AppData%\IE7Pro\easyhome.ini" REN "%AppData%\IE7Pro\easyhome.ini" easyhome.bak>NUL

REM COPY FILES
COPY "%CD%\easyhome.ini" "%AppData%\IE7Pro"
COPY "%CD%\*de_*.*" "%ProgramFiles%\IE7Pro\spelldic\de_DE"
COPY "%CD%\*fr_*.*" "%ProgramFiles%\IE7Pro\spelldic\fr_FR"
COPY "%CD%\*nl_*.*" "%ProgramFiles%\IE7Pro\spelldic\nl_NL"

EXIT

Hope this helps others as well.
