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.

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)

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

The Correct File Is Not Installed When You Chain Multiple Hotfixes

Microsoft has released an updated version of the QChain.exe command-line tool that resolves this issue. The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center

well done!!! it looks amazing!!! it does amazing things to XP!!! I can't wait to use this!!!

:D?:DD?(Y)Y):D :D:D :D? :wo:cool::cool:

... and that's just the menu! Who knows what else is in store&:shifty:hifty::D :D

just a quick side note, what theme are you running for your windows xp while that screenshot was taken, it looks pretty good

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

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
