homie742 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Hi everyone,I was wondering if there's a way to repackage installation files? For example, I want to create say Apps.exe that when run will silently install say AIM, WinRAR, and etc. There would be a screen to select which apps you want to install.Do I make sense and if yes is this possible? I'm totally new to this stuff so be gentle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjhart85 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 You could make a self extracting RAR file that extracts everything to the temp directory, and calls a batch file you made that installs the programs silently for you. I do this for a few of my files, and then just delete the %temp% directory when you are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homie742 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 Thanks, I'll give that a try. On a related note, can you edit the registry using a batch file? I would think that you would need to make a .reg file and then call that in the batch. If that's the case, how do you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
