lieblingsbesuch Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Hi,i have a few questions....1. how can i extract my simply packed programs in the /program files directory by first windows start?I think i'll have to pack it in a executable archive (.exe) and simply use the command /s. is this right?2. Can i delete the DRIVER and the PROGRAMS folder automatically from my hdd when installed all programs?3. Has anyone the application switches for Winamp Lite 5.03a? (I want the minimal program, without the winamp agent and this other crap....) And i don't want to register....thx for answers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 hiquestion 1) u will have 2 use the switches for your sfx program (not sure what 1 u use, so i cant say) search the forum for whatever 1 u usequestion 2) yes, once its all installed, u can delete the folders Note: by the "programs" folder i hope u dont mean "Program Files" cuz that'd be a bad idea question 3) search the application switches thread, i think someone recompiled the setup into a minimal setup regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieblingsbesuch Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 hi,thx for the fast answer1. i create sfx files simply with winrar. I have very bad experiences with the forum searches (for example, you can give it a try and search for "winamp lite 5.03a". you'll get hundred of threads, and nothing has anything to do with winamp)2. i think you misunderstood me... my applications and drivers which will be automatically installed at startup were being copied during the setup of windows xp on the hdd. so once the progams and drivers are installed, the folders are useless. so can i delete them with a simply command (probably with RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers in my start.cmd?)3. searching application thread is very useless, look at 1....

Nick2588 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 WinRar can make silent SFX applications. It is in the options when making the SFX. This way it will require no switches, etc. and just be silent all by itself. Extract to "%programfiles%\The application's name" or something.Yes, simply use RD /S /Q to remove a folder.For WinAmp, try /S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieblingsbesuch Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 i already tried /s for winamp, but it asks either which components i want to install and if i want to register or not.same problem with nero 6.3.1.15, /s doesn't work. (but /s stands in this forum here?!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 the /s is case sensitive & should be /Sregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieblingsbesuch Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 thx, i think it'll workbefore i forget it:can i make a do you want to install this program yes/no dialog in my batch.cmd ? when this is possible, how is the code for this?

mazin Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 can i make a do you want to install this program yes/no dialog in my batch.cmd ?lieblingsbesuch, I wonder if this idea works for you.Create a batch file and name it check.cmd, and here's what you type in:cls@echo offif exist A:\selected.cmd copy A:\selected.cmd %systemdrive%\Apps\*.*if exist %systemdrive%\Apps\selected.cmd %systemdrive%\Apps\selected.cmdif not exist %systemdrive%\Apps\selected.cmd %systemdrive%\Apps\main.cmdexitInstead of making your SIF run "main.cmd", make it run "check.cmd"! Your main.cmd and check.cmd are burnt on your CD.You put your "selected.cmd" on a floppy. Your "selected.cmd" includes a customized list of applications you want installed.
