The following instructions are for Total Commander 8.52 and newer:

You can make installation fully automatic like this:

  • Download the two self-extracting installers:

http://ghisler.fileburst.com/addons/sfxhead_installer.zip

  • a) To create a pure 64-bit installer, unpack the 64-bit sfxhead.sfx to the Total Commander folder.

or

  • b) To create a 32-bit or combined 32+64-bit installer, unpack the 32-bit sfxhead.sfx to the Total Commander folder.
  • Now open the installer file tcmd8xy.exe with Ctrl+PageDown
  • Unpack all the files with F5 to an empty directory
  • Edit the install.inf file with F4.
  • There is a section [auto], where you need to set auto= to 1.
  • You can also make changes to the default settings there, and change the target location in [Destination]. The installer will ignore this location if a previous installation is found, unless you set the option IgnoreOldLocation=1.
  • In menu Configuration - Options - ZIP packer, set the pack rate to '0' (store)
  • Select all the unpacked files
  • Pack them with Alt+F5, and check the option to create a self-extracting archive. This will use the sfxhead.sfx installer from the first two steps described above.
