This is a great app!

My main issue with doing rom upgrades and reinstalling apps, are the apps that I have keys for. This one is perfect for all of the others however.

I'm guessing there is a way to edit cabs to get your key in there, or something with sdconfig and all that. I just need to look

Most apps store their reg keys in the registry. You can find them and then export them to a .reg file. Combine them all in a cab file and install after you do a new ROM install.

stroths,

I've never built a reg file before. Can you point me to where I can learn how?

thanks,

I don't know of a place with a write-up, but here is a site where you can download registry editors that work PPCs.

I use WinCE Cab Manager, but its about $100 to buy. You should be able to do it with a free tool called cabwiz, but its not as easy. Here are a couple of other useful links I found on google about it.

2. Place any files you want run in \Storage Card\AutoInstall\Installers\
3. Place any files you want copied into \Storage Card\AutoInstall\Files\
4. Run AutoRun.exe after you flash a new ROM or whenever you want to install all the programs in \Storage Card\AutoInstall\Installers\
(Note: You can actually unzip AutoInstall.zip anywhere you want, as long as you put \Installers\ and \Files\ in that directory.)

Or a way to hack this prog to read a *Config.txt for instructions? I'd really like to use the txt doc method, y'know? w/o editing the SDConfig.txt I'd already made.

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Great app! I was just wondering if this supports programs that run after the installation (Like WBA that configs the themes right after setup) Or will it halt the install procedure. Thanks!

Well, I kind of use this as an alternative to Config.txt, but I suppose you could either run AutoInstall with a line in Config.txt, and that'd do both things, or maybe you can write a script and put it in the /AutoInstall/Scripts/ folder to call the OEM installer. I'm not sure, but it'd probably look something like: RunWait("\Extended_ROM\AutoRun.exe"). I didn't check the path or anything though.

Yes, it basically just runs everything in the directory, as if you went into the directory and clicked on it all yourself.

I'm glad people are finding this useful. :D
