RE-PACK setup.exe
« on: August 21, 2009, 01:14 PM »
Hello folks , once again. i need  a small help here,,,,i had some setup.exe warez, and i was thinking if i could re-pack the setup.exe, after installation back to setup.exe. (fully working)
                    Since i usually dont remember n tend to delete them, from my Folder n Recycle Bin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll just ignore the 'warez' part. There's no easy way to do that, but you could use NSIS: export the app's registry settings, then use REG2NSIS, then replace the absolute paths for NSIS variables, and then write a simple installer script.

Another option would be a SFX archive and a small batchfile.
Cheers.

Can u elaborate a little, cause i m new to (  NSIS & REGNSIS  )  , however once i came across uharc(compressor) for creating SFX...
   but to export app's registry is a new thing. Hope i m not asking too much of ur time....


Thank u

Believe it or not, finding an single app that features everything I want to show (reg, paths, files scattered around the drive) isn't as easy as it seems :/

Just a little patience :)

I am surprised with the generosity extended to this guy. In many forums, you would have been banned on the spot for your posts (not trying to be mean).

If a video tutorial does emerge from this, I would also be thrilled about it as portable applications are very important to me.

Thanks for your information regarding the utilities.
I'm the guy you yell at when your DSL goes down...

I came up with this topic in many forums, they didn't warn or banned me. They simple put up by saying the "setup.exe"  installs in various directories, instead of only "Program files", although they gave the verdict by saying it is almost impossible to do so.
         Hence i came up with this THREAD, "donationcoder" is the last place i would ask for any help.
Because folks here are helpful/prompt/and great.
          Anyways i do not want to proceed with this thread anymore because if their was a solution, i would h' got it long time back.
Thanks to scancode for extending his help:

Thank you:

a) Thanks for the sarcasm.
b) You could've suggested a sample application.

btw: { "donationcoder" is the last place i would ask for any help. Because folks here are helpful/prompt/and great. } makes a lot of sense.
