Switchless / non-switchless installers

[NtegrA]

So, I want to add an updated installer to HFSLIP. However the creator has decided at some point between the version I have and the current one to change the switches required to be "silent". What would be the consequences if I were to change the switches for HFSVCPACK_SW2 (moving application from HFSVPACK)? Would I break anything? There's currently nothing in that folder.

You can change the silent switch commands of the script. Nothing will break. The switches are only used for svcpack/sw type folders.

Worked like a charm. Thanks

Is there any way to add switches to specific applications that are inside HFGUIRUNONCE?

I suppose so, but I don't plan on incorporating switches for that. It's not the intent of HFSLIP to install everything under the sun. HFSLIP's intent is to install the OS only. You can create CMD/INF files and place them HFSVCPACK. Using that, you can do whatever post-install stuff you need to do. Those commands get parsed at T-13.

I do suppose however, that you can manually edit the setup files after hfslip is run. But you'll be on your own there.

U can repack using 7z SFX module tool / WinRAR SFX or use RunOnceEx to add switch, depnding on how easy (My choice is WinRAR/RunonceEx) or how complicated (My choice is 7z SFX) the install method is.
