Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: an app to stop installers from launching web browsers and opening pages
« on: July 27, 2011, 11:14 PM »
How about this...
Add an entry to the context menu for *.exe and *.msi called Install
this entry would call a script that
1) check the path to default browser
2) add an entry to "ImageFileExecutionOptions" for a dummy.exe for the debugger
3) if the default browser isn't IE then add another entry for iexplore.exe
4) run the installer as per usual
5) remove the "ImageFileExecutionOptions" entries created above
I suppose the script should check for existing entries in ImageFileExecutionOptions and if any exist then back them up and restore them at the end
