Everything packaged, shrinked, and switchless

Hi there;

I've just started my little software repository... here are the rules of the making :

  • MSI only (customized with a MST, or repackaged)
  • switchless (of course)
  • shrinked (that is, with 7-zip)
  • auto-extractable (sfx, with cmd batch included to launch the install).

Everything is shared there :

http://repository.windowsdream.com/

Enjoy!

Hey Natan

Very nice! Would it be possible to add the file size to each description. I don't really wish to d/l a file and find it bigger than something I am already using. Also it will be a good reference for ppl who only have a little space left on there disc and need to see how big a file is.

Also try here for the latest switchless iTunes.

Regards

Rik

Hi Rik! nice to hear from you.

Sure, I'll add the size -- no problem here. Good that there's a packaged iTunes available, I've been looking for it for a few days! will be on the repository soon enough.

Please bear in mind that this does not install QT, so the user will need to install the latest version of QT or QTalt.

Yes I am still alive, I try and spend 10 - 20 mins after doing Uni work sifting the fourms.

I am working/Will be working on a switchless installer for LaTeX/MikTeX, if you'd be interested at some point. It will be some incentive to actually move from a concept to actaully trying to do it. Roll on January.

This is something that I would be highly interested in... I'm probably going to be needing a LaTeX document writing/compiling system on my computer at some point in the near future. :)

Hope to see what you can come up with. If you need a computer guinea pig, let me know. ;)

And for a LaTeX nawbie like me, a package of Lyx would be great, too. Has it been compiled for win32 so far?

this looks pretty good.

unfortunately I cannot look inside your packages and see what they do.

(maybe with MSIViewer or similar..)

So my question is: do you have included in your packages also registry tweaks like:

disabling autoupdates

7zip - assigning archive file extensions

etc...?

Hi there;

they are 7-zipped, so you should be able to open everything. Every exe contains a msi, sometimes mst too, and there's a small cmd to execute the msi. The msi are made to get ride of problems, like reboots, etc.

Packages are regularly updated. See http://www.windowsdream.com/updater/news.html for news.
