Try to adjust the Installer: New Version created extracts but not installs

[Wackel]

Hi.
ATW I´m using Total Commander 11.01
Yesterday I downloaded new version x64. Extracted to a folder. OK. Modified just the INSTALL.INF modifying only this below:

auto=1
hidden=1
lang=2
alllang=2

Repacked using ZIP, compression rate: 0 and set creating self extracting archive. Saved.
But when I run it, it shows me only the option to extract but not to run.

Is there something I missed?

I think that the TC installer is not a simple self-extracting zip archive. The file properties indicate it as an application. So if you unpack it and then repack it, you will get an ordinary self-extracting zip archive, but not the installer.

Yes, our wiki >> https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php?title=Installer >>"""Important: Switches must be in capital letters!""" <maybe that?


and a forum search for threads where the installer is already explained.

What exactly do you want to achieve ?

Exactly. See here how to add a custom installation package to the installer.

Of course, it's much easier to use command line parameters with the original installer.
