AutoPatcher December Update Wishlist

[itsnotabigtruck]

I might work on an uninstaller when I have time to burn. :)

@FlishFun & Raptor: Why don't you add a uninstallBatch parameter for each item? Also, will you add mutuallyExclusive and depends parameters as I suggested? Thanks for the info. :D

Better yet, since I can't remember the link (and the one on the main site is broken), I'll just attatch it. :) Please, if anyone can figure it out, let me know.

And no, not yet... still compiling (very close to done, been at it most of today).

hmm...anyone good with a hex editor? probably something can be edited on the installer to make it auto-progress through the dialogue boxes. I remember someone did that with the DX9b installer on the M S F N site, to auto except the eula.

Just an idea, I'm clueless when it comes to hex-editing the .exe

the only other way would be to re-package the viewer, i.e. install it somewhere, then copy the files,and reg entries into a custom installer and have that silently installing with the autopatcher.

Well if anyone can, I'd appreciate it. :)

I don't know exactly how useful this is, for the DAMN viewer, but when you uninstall, it tells you where the registry keys are, and where the files are kept

I've attached the installed files, and the reg keys if you want them.

All that is needed is a batch file to extract the files, and run the .reg keys in the REG KEYS folder

I uninstalled DAMN on my machine, unzipped this, ran the .reg keys and all seems to be working, even the uninstaller still works if people decide to opt out.

Hope this helps you guys.

I like NFO Veiwer more then that one. Then again I have not used Damn in a long time.

[SSRules]

I may check into that one too.

@extreme_madness - Doesn't work unless you have Windows installed on your "C" drive. If it has any other letter it won't work (I had tried it too)

ah well...it was worth a try!

[FlishFun Veteran]

hahaha That's okay. I would have went with it, but I know people who install into their "D" drives, and this wouldn't work in that case. :(

[SentientPC]

does the last one work in WMP9?

Not sure about that Raptor :huh:

But on a side note, check out the site at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm.

...at quick glance, it appears they have 2 columns of 303 WinXP tweaks, installed by either .exe, .vbs or .reg. :o

:D

Yeah, I've looked through those and took what I thought were the best ones. :D

It's called RhodiumX (by tiger2k)... it's the theme I've been using for the past month or so (most of the AutoPatcher pics are taken with it), and you can get it here: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=107479 :D
