Daemon Tools v4.**

[oldo]

Doesn't seem to be a decent tutorial on this one (apart from the packaged CAB version which is nice , but i've created my own method as described below. I run it from a network location at runonceex stage, but you could run from pretty much anywhere.

Hopefully it's of some use to someone here

You'll need cmdow.exe in system32 folder to hide the windows. If you don't.. just comment the line out.

Change the code where needed to reflect your own needs.

File structure:

\dtools.exe

\dtools.cmd

\components\clean.cmd

:: Hide Window
cmdow @ /hid
@echo off

:: Remove load on windows startup  (optional, comment out if not required)
regedit /s "C:\maint\temp\config.reg"

:: Remove Spyware (change location to reflect your chosen install directory)
DEL /F /Q "%systemdrive%\Program Files\JONET\Daemon Tools\v4.08\SetupDTSB.exe"

:: Remove desktop icon (optional, comment out if not required)
DEL /F /Q "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\*.*"

:: Remove temporary files
RMDIR /S /Q "%systemdrive%\maint\temp"

.\components\config.reg

(This stops daemon tools loading at windows startup. Optional.)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"DAEMON Tools"=-

To install just run "dtools.cmd".

You forgot to remove %programfiles%\DaemonTools_WhenU_Installer dir which sometimes appears too.

[oldo]

As far as i can tell, that only appears when daemon tools is allowed to run for the first time. I remove the SetupDTSB.exe (which spawns the file you mention), before it has a chance to open.

This method worked for me atleast

[Steam Trout]

You are probably right because I allowed my DAEMON to run the WhenU installer. Never hurts to have an extra line just in case though

[oldo]

Tested again, on a fresh VM.. still works fine. Asside from repackaging, i can't thing of another way to do this.

Either way.. it works, and i think i can live with it

By all means.. add the other line as a safe guard. Wouldn't want your users complaining they have popups of the Hoff playing volleyball now, would you?

[darks0ul]

there are autoit scripts with even more functionality, I even posted one. just search, those are more flexible.

[Steam Trout]

And what more functionality do you need here ? It installs the app, it deletes the junk.

[oldo]

Yeah.. not a fan of auto-it or similar languages myself. Seems a bit lazy to me

[planoleg]

Could you please break it down to easy-to-follow steps? Thanks in advance

Nice, works fine
