Integrate Progams into OEM Install?


Recommended Posts

Think this would work better than silent installers?

Install the program on a clean Windows install and track all changes using Thinstall or a similar program along with Regshot unicode 2.0.

Save the reg files as a .reg file with Regshot unicode 2.0.

Copy all the installed files to the appropriate $OEM folder.

EX.

$OEM$

>$DOCS

>>USERNAME

>>>Application Data

>>>>MyProgStuff

>>>>>Files.dat

>$Progs

>>MyProg

>>>ProgramFile.exe

And then, use RunOnceEx to add the registry keys. This would allow you to copy the files and ignore getting installers to work. Plus you could modify program settings before you package it up and put in in the $OEM$ files. You won't have to worry about waiting on the installer since it would copy it during setup. You wouldn't have to worry about the restart either.

What do you guys think of my idea?
