The procedure for integrating the selected applications into the Windows OS distribution kit implies the use of a fully automated, or unattended, distribution kit. It can be created using specialized applications, the most famous of which are Windows Unattended CD Creator and nLite. Integration of programs will require the use of additional software.
Necessary
- - cmdow.exe;
- - Universal Silent Switch Finder;
- - WinRar
Instructions
Step 1
Create automated, or unattended, distributions of the applications to integrate. This operation involves determining and registering the keys of the selected programs in the sfx archive. To do this, launch the Universal Silent Switch Finder application and click the button with the ">" symbol in the main program window.
Step 2
Specify the full path to the program installation file to be integrated and define its keys in the Usage line. Run the WinRar application and select the required files of the program, the automated distribution of which must be integrated into Windows. Use the "Add to archive" option and go to the "General" tab of the application dialog box that opens. Apply the checkbox to the Create SFX Archive field.
Step 3
Enter an arbitrary value for the name in the corresponding field and specify the option for the maximum compression level. Go to the Advanced tab and use the SFX Options button. Select the General tab of the next dialog box and enter the previously saved application clicks in the Run line.
Step 4
Go to the "Modes" tab and apply the check boxes in the fields: - "Overwrite all files"; - "Hidden mode"; - "Unpack to a temporary folder".
Step 5
Create a new text document named cmdlines.txt and [Commands] content "Soft.cmd". Place it in the $ OEM $ folder and create a Soft.cmd batch file.
Step 6
Enter the value cmdow @ / HID in the first line of the document to run the cmdow utility, and enter the value @echo off in the second. Type SET CDROM =% ~ d0 on the third line and enter the value start / wait% CDROM% sfx1.exe on the next fourth line.
Step 7
Repeat the same value on the fifth line, changing only 1 to 2 in sfx, and end the generated document with the sixth line with the value exit. Place the generated batch file in the same directory.
