Autorun.inf

How can I make two apps to run with autorun.inf?

Let's say PAM and RoboForm at the same time...

Thanks in advance

Deja Vu?

I thought I had read this a few days ago. Oh well.
It is possible with a .bat file. (or compiled autoit script, like what I have)

OH I think you can, I will

OH I think you can, I will if you want.
I can get both running for you no issue.

P.S
It will be an exe too so you can have the autorun kick start it.

Misnamed..

Actually autorun.inf is misnamed in my opinion. All it does is bring up a dialog box that asks you if you want to run a single program or open a folder.

That's because it's a USB

That's because it's a USB Drive. On a CD Drive, it should load right away.

Unless...

Unless the user has disabled autorun (which you should for security reasons) or is running Windows Vista (which has autorun off by default, as it should).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

mmmm... I really want to load roboform or keepass each time I load my portable Firefox... but I'm not a programmer... I'm just a Veterinarian and don't know how to make a launcher... If I have to edit a file with a notepad, Ok, I can learn... If I have to learn how to compile and all that... mmmmm...

Is it possible that somebody have a "just edit" launcher?

thanks... Biggrin

Exec "$EXEDIR\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe"
Exec "$EXEDIR\PortableApps\KeePassPortable\KeePassPortable.exe"

Thats a "Launcher" with a firefox icon which launches FF + KeePass.
Where is your Roboform exe?

Then you save it into a txt file

and replace the txt with nsi.
nsi is the ending of nsi scripts.
Copy the nsi script to the root of your usb drive.
Download PortableNSIS from here and install (extract) it. Open it and drag your nsi file over it and watch it creating an exe in the same folder your script is in (rootfolder of your drive).
Click on the created exe and hope it works...;-)
If there are any error-messages, just post them here.

Can I do something like:
OutFile "Portable mIRC.exe"

Section
Exec "$EXEDIR\PortableApps\mIRC\mIRC.exe -portable"
SectionEnd

???

I mean... giving the option -portable

but I'm not sure.
Maybe Ryan, Steve, John himself or another NSIS geek can clarify it.
I'm glad it works. Wink

Yep

Using backticks is preferred (the key above Tab).
Exec `"$EXEDIR\whatever" -portable`
Also, the "PortableApps Menu name stuff" is like this:

VIProductVersion "1.0"
VIAddVersionKey FileDescription "Whatever name you want displayed"
VIAddVersionKey CompanyName "PortableApps.com"

Ryan, you should know that:
VIProductVersion expects a X.X.X.X number, so it's

VIProductVersion "1.0.0.0"

instead of

VIProductVersion "1.0"

Otherwise you get5 anerror message...

That wasnt my intent

THe silentinstall prevents a standard NSIS window from appearing so it just launches whatever you want it to.
And the version string isn't really necessary. Its just that it has to be 4 numbers but Ryan only posted it with 2 so I wanted to correct that and save whoever wants to use it an error.
What exactly makes you confused?

Try this
OutFile "Portable mIRC.exe"
Icon "\PortableApps\mIRC\mIRC.ico"
VIProductVersion "1.0,0,0"
VIAddVersionKey FileDescription "mIRC Portable"
VIAddVersionKey CompanyName "PortableApps.com"
SilentInstall silent
Section
Exec "$EXEDIR\PortableApps\mIRC\mIRC.exe -portable"
SectionEnd

This one has to be placed in the root folder of your drive.

If you want to access it from your menu, chose this one:

OutFile "Portable mIRC.exe"
Icon "\PortableApps\mIRC\mIRC.ico"
VIProductVersion "1.0,0,0"
VIAddVersionKey FileDescription "mIRC Portable"
VIAddVersionKey CompanyName "PortableApps.com"
SilentInstall silent
Section
Exec "$EXEDIR\mIRC\mIRC.exe -portable"
SectionEnd

Place this exe into D:/PortableApps/mIRC
with the actual program (mIRC.exe) at
D:/PortableApps/mIRC/mIRC/

Hope it helps.

Well that...

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks...

When I did it, it gave me an error...

VIProductVersion "1.0,0,0" should be VIProductVersion "1.0.0.0"

But is working very very good now...

Change the VIProductVersion line

To get rid of that error message, just change the

VIProductVersion "1.0,0,0"

line to

VIProductVersion "1.0.0.0"

Specifically, just change the two commas to full stops (periods), and that'll get rid of the warning/error message.

No, I don't think it's possible to add 2 entries to the autorin.inf but I have

open=appname1.exe
icon=icon.ico
label=label

shell=app2
shell\app2=Run App2
shell\app2\command=appname2.exe

and that way, when I plug in my usb drive, it runs "open" and when I double click on the drive (via my computer), it runs "shell\app2"
