Silent Install w/ Plugins won't install plugin\Language dir

[jvennes]

I created a silent install package for the Total Commander as follows:

1. CTRL-PageDown, double click on Install.Cab, and extract the contents to an empty directory (c:\temp\tcmd).

2. Add my %COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins folder to c:\temp\tcmd\

3. I re-create the INSTALL.CAB file with "cabarc -r -p N INSTALL.CAB *"

4. Inject INSTALL.CAB back into "tcmdr701.exe". Modify INSTALL.INF, etc.

5. Install

Everything works except for 1 strange thing. Any folder named "Language" inside of the plugins\wfx, wlx, wcx, wdx folders do NOT get installed.

example: C:\Program Files\totalcmd\plugins\wfx\Uninstaller\Language does NOT get installed.

c:\Program Files\totalcmd\plugins\wlx\SynPlus\Languages\ does get installed.

c:\Program Files\totalcmd\plugins\wcx\7zip\lang\ does get installed

I have verified that the "Language" folder(s) exist inside of the INSTALL.CAB file.

Hello !

• The <Language> folder into the install.cab stands only for the languages of TC itself, AFAIK…

Anyway, you can't modify the installer without the Author's permission on principle, especially to re-distribute the programme…

I can assure you, I have NO intention of re-distribution. This is merely for efficient installation to a small laboratory of computers (for which I am fully licensed).

Perhaps I will just create a script to add the plugins after install. (But a self contained, silent, remote install is much better).

Problem solved.

Changed the TC "Language" folder to "Language_" and modified INSTALL.INF as follows:

[LangName]
langdir=Language_


Now all "Language" folders inside of the plugins dir get installed as expected.
