MSA INF Importer

[Denney]

Well, I've decided to get on the utility bandwagon. I made this program for myself but I thought maybe someone else could use it.

What does it do?

This program will import INF files based on a group.

How does it work?

It scans a given folder for all INF files matching the name of a group (*_GROUPNAME.inf).

Why did you make it?

If you have MANY registry entries of RunOnceEx values, putting them in seperate files makes it easier to manage and update.

How do you use it?

MSAINFImporter.exe "PATH TO INF FILES" "BASE DIRECTORY CONTAINING GROUP FILE TO CHECK FOR" "LIST OF COMMA SEPERATED GROUP NAMES"

When importing more that one group of files, it checks for the existence of a file name "GROUP NAME" in the base directory. If it exists, it will import that group of INF files.

Example...

My INF files:

1_Global.inf
2_Global.inf
3_Global.inf
4_Global.inf
1_RaveRod.inf
2_RaveRod.inf
1_MissCath.inf

Run with the following command:

MSAINFImporter.exe C:\MSA\RegEdits C:\MSA Global,RaveRod,MissCath

The program will check for "*_Global.inf" in the "C:\MSA\RegEdits" directory, the import them. It will then look for a file named "RaveRod" in the "C:\MSA" directory, and if found, will import the "*_RaveRod.inf" files. It will then do the same for "*_MissCath.inf" files.

A couple of problems though:

1. You CANNOT have spaces in your paths (use 8.3 notation if you do).

2. DO NOT put "'s around the parameters.

I hope you all understand this but if not, just ask.
