totoymola Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 THE TITLE IS INCORRECT. **** TYPO ERROR! How I wish I have an option to edit the title.. Edit: Thanks for editing the title. Total Commander 6.50 is out! http://www.ghisler.com/whatsnew.htmInstalling it silently is pretty easy. Just change the INSTALL.INI[auto]auto=0to[auto]auto=1But the question is, how can I close the explorer windows that pops up after the installation? This is my old problem for some of my programs.. EDIT: If I can't find a way to do this, I will just copy the installed files and make an sfx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimman Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Actually, this is a standalone app. All you need to do is place wincmd.ini in your system directory (to preserve your settings) and the Total Commander folder in Program Files. To my knowledge TCmd doesn't even try to access the registry. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 For the title, you can PM me with topic link and the new name you want it to be. About the SFX, if an app won't protest then that's my preferred way because of compression, and many other reasons. (sadly msoffice wants a crapload in the registry made by its installer)Now for your problem, one thing I can say for sure is that no app I install at T-12 (cmdlines.txt) shows up any explorer windows (even the installers that normally throw up an explorer window with start menu shortcuts don't dare do it!). This could be because explorer.exe simply can't be started at that stage becvause of DLLs or whatever....If that is not a solution, and your app installs are done at GUIrunOnce (that's when explorer.exe is NOT running), then you could just usetaskkill /F /IM explorer.exeIn XP home, taskkill is not available so you can download pskill from sysinternals.compskill explorer.exeHoping this helps....Do post back on what you finally decided to do.

totoymola Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 You guys are right. This is another software that doesn't need installation. So I think I will just make an sfx, or I will repack it if I want to have an uninstaller. I just have to include two ini files. The WINCMD.INI and wcx_ftp.ini which are in the %systemroot%.Before, I was afraid to taskkill explorer.exe because I thought I need it. But I think you are correct, I don't need it. Thank you.

The_Bigbird Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 i did the [auto]auto=1and the taskkill worked like a charm too.then i got to thinking, if it was possible to add my key to the install. It is.i used a prg that can open the CAB file inside the EXE and added my key.so now that i use this installer it installs my key into the install dir.

cordata51 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 well ok, but now what if you installed a bunch of plug-ins with custom settings and come to find out all the settings including install diretories are hard coded into the wincmd.ini file and placed in %systemroot%. this is great if you know that windows will always and only be installed to one particular drive letter but what if i change the installed partition from C:, now installation wont be correct.
