December 20, 200619 yr Hi just wondering if somebody could help me. Vista is cool but in my UA I am still missing some features. Like a program installer (WIHU)! I don't have the skills to create it myself.Is it possible somebody creates a sort a WIHU like installer, which works with INI files. When you launch it you will be able to change "Owner information", "IP", "DNS" and "Workgroup Names" after this you can select which apps you like to install and at last a reboot option. I dont give much about changing user info, I always find it kind of annoying.It would be the best Christmas present ever
December 22, 200619 yr Author really nobody, kindda disaapointed Edited December 22, 200619 yr by cai_sebas
December 22, 200619 yr How did you try to run WIHU ?Did it throw any error ?Please post any detail. Thanks.
December 22, 200619 yr Author It has been a while since I runned WIHU on Vista, from what I remember it installs software. But the 2 furst pages are just useless and hurting Vista because of the registry changes.I will be launching my own website soon with stuff which is butifull, skins, guides, apps and more. Look at www.toastingvista.net in 2007!
December 23, 200619 yr Normally I would suggest something like xplode, but if you are having trouble with WIHU that might be too much for you. I've also used Setup Studio with Windows XP many times, but their version for Vista won't be ready for a few more months.Not sure what to tell you other than dig into WIHU or Xplode and learn, and then ask questions here on how to do things you're having trouble with.
December 24, 200619 yr Author cluberti you gave me a superb idea. I am quite skilled at NSIS, think I am going to use that!! Thanks

I was already experimenting with an nsis based installer.----------------------------------Features:----------------------------------- Install multi programs- Add registry keys (only HKLM at the moment)- Copy files- Add shortcut creationMoved to simple-installer Edited January 4, 200719 yr by Roufneck
January 4, 200719 yr How about something like this? I was already experimenting with an nsis based installer.I like the skeleton of your post-install tool. Do you plan to develop it further?As a default feature, i would like the GUI to autoclose a few seconds after installation completed.How to write entry in .xml for an installer with quotes as parameters:vmware-mount-5.5.0-18463.exe /S /V"/qn"It's a msi wrapped in an installshield setup launcher exe.
