IDEA: Tool to Enable/Diable Default Zip Behavior in WinVista/Win7

<< < (2/3) > >>

That's what I was looking for. I see that it works nicely in XP. I am unable to test it in Vista or Win7 yet. I'm working on that and hope to have Win7 running soon.

Can we get someone to try it in Vista or Win7 for us and post the results here?

Thanks so much Scancode. I hope it wasn't too much trouble and that you enjoyed the challenge.

Crap! There's a problem with permissions under 7 and I assume Vista :|
Writing a fix at the moment :)

_The reg files don't work either_

scancode:
Seems I choked on this coding snack :'(

Here's the NSIS sourcecode  if anyone wants to try/debug/play tetris on it.

Hi Scancode,

Using a Nullsoft installer for this was a perfectly great idea. Perhaps it just needs to have the proper access.
Would this work?

I also found this:
This plug-in attempts to work around UAC installation problems on Vista. This plug-in allows your installer to operate with a user level process and an admin level process. This allows you to accomplish things that would otherwise be very difficult. For example, you can have an admin level installer launch another process at a user level. Or you can have an admin level installer create shortcuts at a user level.

The script has admin access, I just need a way to find a way to change the reg key owner and permissions.
Will give it a shot today, was really frustrated yesterday :)

Simple google search.
