The executable available for "public" download seems to be a 7-ZIP SFX. Is Asta's "special silent" installer the same thing just packaged in a silent SFX? And, if that's the case, any objections to someone (say, me) taking it upon themselves to make those modifications for their own benefit, Ryan?

What are these highlighted files?

Well, two would be version 1.0.4 of my post-SP2 update pack

The other is a file for another board. It's unrelated to MSFN.

It's the same core file. The only difference is that the MSI is called with the /qn switch instead of the /qb-! switch. As far as I know, Igor has yet to implement silent extraction into his 7zip SFX module (I emailed him awhile ago about it).

[Astalavista]

yup i asked him the same thing a few weeks ago.

Nice work yet again Ryan...

btw.. would it be an easy thing to incorporate passing a parameter to redirect the install directory?

Shoot me an IM and I can make you a custom one. Be warned that I'm out of town, though, so I may not respond to my IMs right away (I'm remoting into my desktop back in Philly to get work done)

I have a question/request:

You know all those "speed up Acrobat Reader" things around (cmd's, exe's, etc.)?

From what I understand, they speed up the load time of AdobeReader by moving some plug-ins to a different folder, so they are not ALWAYS loaded, but they are there if needed... (i think).

Anyway, can you make your AdobeReader6.03 incorperate this feature, so it doesn't need to be run afterwards? Sort of like a fully-updated-and-quickly-loading Reader.

or is this already in it?

Right.

But that breaks functionality. Whereas the intention of the pack is simply to have it pre-updated. As for myself, I do the files moving when needed, through batch-files - so that when I want to do a normal install, it stays normal.
