Cab Making

You could use autohotkeyce to create an install file basically.
AHKCE = 100 times more powerful than mortscript, and its still in beta!!

You would only need to do something along the following lines:

IfExist file you want to delete here, look at autohotkey help file for syntax
   FileDelete, again, look at autohotkey help file for syntax

FileInstall, use this to tell the script what to install, and where. 

Exit

Then, when you use the correct syntax for fileinstall, and compile the script (which can be done right on your device), it'll actually include the files to be installed in that exe that is created.


Edit: you can also look in the documentation section of autohotkey.com for syntax.
Search the site for autohotkeyce and you'll find the thread with the port.

i am getting unsuccessful error when trying to move a .lnk from one directory to another, says due to permissions.. so i checked the MS site and it says use "RemoveAttributes" the .lnk is a system file so i added "S" and "H" (just in case it's hidden).

<characteristic type="FileOperation">
    <characteristic type="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\E-mail.lnk">
        <characteristic type="Move">
            <parm name="Source" value="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Messaging\E-mail.lnk" translation="install" />
            <parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="H" />
            <parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="S" />
        </characteristic>
    </characteristic>
</characteristic>

also tried one line for attributes:

<parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="S,H" />

same issue..

edit: actually i can delete the .lnk file but mysteriously i can't move or copy it from start menu\programs to start menu\programs\messaging, strange..

Try deleting and recreating it as a workaround.

or just change it in the initflashfiles.dat so it moves to where you want it in the first place.
