Hi,
I've got a problem! Or two actually at this moment...
I want to:
- When I'm installing my program (coded in C#, installed on computer by windows installer), we can call it for "Program A", I want another program (a .exe file), "Program B", to install simultaneously without users knowledge.
If I put "Registers" value to "csdrfCOMSelfRe g" for the .exe file in "Properties " I will get the possibility to click through an installer guide for Program B while my program A is installing.
And I want Program B to install, but without the guide because I don't want user to know about it and that the user doesn't need to do anything for it.
- Later when user uninstall "Program A", I would like "program B" to uninstall too, without effort by user of course...
Is this possible to do through the cmd? I really have no idea what to do... I've tried to google, but haven't find any solution. Maybe someone out there can put me on the right track? I think that "-k" could help me, but I don't know how, yet...

I think you can do that in an installer package project. Dependancies or something. I've never done it though

I thougt that too! But I haven't found anything there that could have helped me. I'll get the "Program B" to install when installing "Program A" there, but then user has to go through the installation guide. I want the "Program B" to install by itself...
Thanks for your answear anyway!!
OK! I've found half the solution.
In "Custom actions" it is just to "Add Custom Action" under "Installati on", and in properties window insert /S to Arguments. And TADAA! Program B is installed without user will notice.
Then it is just the second problem left, how to uninstall automaticly...

This sounds a lot like giving advice on how to install a virus, trojan or tracker. Which I thought we didn't do here. I've seen a lot of 'scoldings' for even asking how to log keystrokes and the like. But its okay to hide the installation of an entire program from the user? They think they are installing a.exe and they are also getting b.exe without their knowledge so it can do.. what? report all their credit card details and use their email to spread?

I thought that too. But the OP said they wanted it to be removed when A gets uninstalled too. So it *could* be legitamate.
Maybe the OP should tell us why he wants to install secretly... It may be interesting to know. But we can be sure the user din't request it.

Alex.

That's why I didn't remove this post when I first read it.

NO NO NO NO NO!! THIS IS NOT ABOUT ANY VIRUS!!!! And I can promise this is absolutely legal!!!!

What do you mean with "sure the user didn't request it"?
I've got my program A (which NOT handling any type of virus, it takes care of signals), and a feature in A, is that user can use program B (which is comlepetly legal, both for me to use and for the user to use and in all ways you can think about) for analyzing these signals. But so the user doesn't have to think so much by him/herself, it will install automaticly, and also uninstall when A is uninstalled. So - NO VIRUS OR UNLEGAL THINGS HERE!!!

Hi,
I use view to join difference table together for some function. However,
when the "real" table fields changed (e.g. add/delete/change field). The
view table still use the "old fields".
Therefore everytimes when I change the real table, I also needed open the
view table and save it by SQL enterprise manager manually for update the
view table field.

Hello,
Let me start by saying that I am coming from a background using Matlab

of how I work in these languages, and ask for some help to find out how
the same thing is done in Python. I am not sure what the standard is.
In C++, I open up an editor in one window, a Unix shell in another. I
write the code in the editor, then switch to the shell window for

Hi everyone
I need to move on a step in my PHP...
I know what classes are, both in PHP4 and 5 and I'm aware of "patterns"
existing, but what I'm looking for are some real world projects eg. Open
Source that people consider to use classes and patterns correctly.
I lack a senior person to lead me in this so I feel I'm losing out on
only using bare PHP class features and not really knowing how to design

I understand that the standard Python distribution is considered
the C-Python. Howerver, the current C-Python is really a combination
of C and Python implementation. There are about 2000 Python files
included in the Windows version of Python distribution. I'm not sure
how much of the C-Python is implemented in C but I think the more
modules implemented in C, the better performance and lower memory
footprint it will get.
I wonder if it's...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
