krwilson Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I have been going insane. I have searched, and read and luckily I am using a re-writable CD for this.Problem: since Tweakui is no longer an .msi file I wish to run a simple command file to copy tweakui (extracted from the .exe) to the system32 folder and create an icon in Control Panel, seems simple enough to do. Below is the very simple tweak21.cmd file I created, followed by the reg fix for the icon.Command 1%CDROM%\Install\Powertoys\Tweak21\tweak21.cmdCommand 2regedit /s %CDROM%\Install\Powertoys\Tweak21\tweakui21.regTweak21.cmdcmd /c copy %cdromdrive%\Install\Powertoys\tweak21\TweakUI.exe %windir%\system32\exitThe problem is that all my other programs work from the CD, paths are not an issue. I have tried cmd /c copy, copy, xcopy,........etc. Tweakui will not copy for me when using WPI with it checked. But if I go to the folder on the CD and click on my Tweak21.cmd, then it works fine. So it seems like the command file is not working right from WPI. Does anyone have any idea...............I am fresh out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I repacked TweakUI with a pre-configured SFX file.It is natively fully silent so just call it...It will also recognize windows folder no matter what drive it is on...Download here <----------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krwilson Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 md\"%programfiles%"\cpuzxcopy /Y /e "%CDROM%"\install\system\cpuz\*.* "%programfiles%"\cpuz\exitUsing the above to load the cpuz folder and program since it does not have an installer. Had to keep trying with this copying issue and now report success. Thanks to the latest thread on copying. Plan to add a short cut on the start menu for this program also. Thanks to everyone on this site and especially "kelsenellenelvian". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I could whip it up into a full installer for you that would give you start menu short cuts and even uninstall entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
