Apply reg via SFX?

[durex]

Is there anyway to do this directly using a command in an SFX, or do I need to create a batch file that applies the reg file and point the 'setup' parameter to that...

Thanks!

i did that last nite bec. of the **** bug with wpi

all u need to do is this

winrar sfx your reg key

and use this as the comment

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=regedit /s winrar_settings.reg

TempMode

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

change the winrar_settings.reg to your own file name.

now if u want to install several reg keys using sfx. Nologic

has made an autoit.

if u dont knw autoit. u can look at the sticky thread.

if u dont know how to use Winrar. in my sig is a link to a page i made detailing

on how to make a winrar sfx (with pretty pictures)

Cool.. that setup line is exactly I was looking for.. didnt realize you could pass commands like that with the Setup parameter... thx a bunch Asta

Could you do this in an SFX that you're already installing (extracting and running setup.exe, for example) from or would you have to create a separte SPX just for your regkey? I thought you could only specifiy a single program to run after extraction...

just run a bat/cmd file its simple & easy lol

That's what I was thinking MCT, but if both commands could be run straight from the SFX it would save a little bit of work, and maybe even a couple of bytes on the CD.

here is the solution cartoon buddy

use an autoit that nologic made for me.

u can do regtweak then sfx and sfx and sfx etc

or u can do sfx and sfx and sfx and regtweak.

the only reason i needed to do this is bec. of wpi. it doesn't hv enough

command lines to work with.

then u wrap everything into a winrar sfx

and use autoit.exe to launch the installation.

Cool. Thanks Asta. I'm not familiar with AutoIT yet, guess I will have to look into that too. I'm still pretty new to this whole uA thing.

look for a thread i made autoit help from mhz and nologic

should be easy to find in the applications thread.

good luck
