Hello all!
I'm working with nLite and making up a simple addon generator (one that can do more than the one i've found really)
I've decided to keep the registry open and intact without touching INF style registry entries -- more "user friendly" that way.
I'm going to have a filesystem structure much like this in the CAB file that gets handed to nLite's integrator, so I want something that makes life _simple_
CODE
Addon.CAB
\_ entries.ini
\addon_UID\
\bootstrap.cmd
|executeable.exe
|reg_before.reg
|reg_after.reg
The bootstrap.cmd will look like this:
CODE
@echo off
regedit /s reg_before.reg
executable.exe /s
regedit /s reg_after.reg
This allows also for a custom installation procedure. Nothing extremely advanced but enough to make life easy for those of us used to using Python and other such languages.
It also allows for more powerful control over the environment (I.E. certain functions have to be used that require an env variable set to a certain value)
Any ideas on if this will work?
