Automatic install (CAB,REG,TSK,Files) after HardReset

---

I have made s script which installs all files in my Install-Directory of my SD-Card. The script is based on nscriptm and invoked automatically after HardReset.
It installs silently all CAB-Files, Reg-Settings in REG-Files, a TSK-File.
It copys all wanted files automatically from the SD-Card to the PocketPC (e.g. for the Windows-Folder, etc).
It deletes wanted files from the Pocketpc.
It copies Shortcuts.

So a complete new Install lasts only a few minutes. Great for testing.

Now I am searching an unzip/unrar/uncompress/... - Tool which can be invoked from the command-line with additional parameters to uncompress all Install-Files on the SD-Card.

Anyone knows ?

Sounds like an excellent idea. Can you share your script? Sorry I do not know of a zip utility. All installs on cab files are already compressed though.

Doed Pocket WinRar will do the job?

I also would love to try it...

Very good idea

This sounds like a great idea.

No, Winrar is only with GUI. No Commandline. Have searched for days.
CAB-Files are not Compressed I think. Only the EXE-Files containig the CAB-Files for Install on PC are compressed.
Please HELP !
I have made an extended ROM which runs my script now automatically.
If you want it send me PM.

I have also been searching the net for a compresion tool that runs from the command line, but with no luck.

axbl,
would love a copy of your script. For everyone's benefit, can you attach it to this thread?
thanks in advance.

Hi axbl, would be happy to test your script, email is adasilva@runbox.com

Hi axbl,

Could you please also post me a copy of your ROM / Script ?

Many Thanks,

Has anyone heard from axbl? While waiting in vain, I decided to give this a shot and see how far I go along scripting my installs. I find the nscriptm tool to be very capable but still I am stuck in a few areas which axbl seems to have excelled based on the initial post.

How can one trigger a cab file install and make it a silent install? I am using the Shellwait("") command to trigger the cab file installs one after the other but those that require input are causing an issue.

Next I have tried automating the response to those user input prompts (i.e YES / NO etc) but I am having trouble catching the window handle of the prompts and then using the Sendkey command.

Thanks in advance for all the help. Regards
