    Slimjet recommends just overwriting the target folder with newer files. Most portable apps work that way. If you're concerned about having a clean install folder, then you should erase the entire destination folder before extracting there.

    Okay, then I'll just delete the manifest file before the extraction. Otherwise, it'll just pile up.

  2. Hello,

    I'm trying to figure out how to save my settings in a portable program while deleting everything else in the folder. I'm using the portable version of Slimjet and I noticed that there were multiple MANIFEST files in the folder where Slimjet was extracted because the older file was still there. It would be easy enough to just delete the MANIFEST file before downloading and extracting the newer version, but then again, I don't know if there are other files/folders that are changed with each update. My solution would be to delete the extracted folder for the old version prior to downloading the new version, but I have Slimjet setup a certain way that I don't want to reconfigure it every time I use it. So I wanted to know if there is a way to remove all of the folders/files surrounding the User Data folder.

    Thank you

  3. I'm trying to find out how I would go about excluding the settings files from MultiCommander extract so that I don't have to keep resetting the settings whenever I update the program. Here is the code that I'm using:

    7z x "{file}" -o"{root}SyMenu\ProgramFiles\{category}\Multi Commander\" -xr!*.ini -r -y

    For some reason, I keep having to tell the program the window style that I want and I have to keep telling the program to show hidden files/folders. I'm looking to save the settings so that it will hold the style and the file/folder setting. Any suggestions?

  4. What is -spe?

     

    For some reason, the post commands aren't running automatically:

    7z x "{file}" -o"{root}SyMenu\ProgramFiles\" -y
    move "{root}SyMenu\ProgramFiles\DDU v{ver}" "{root}SyMenu\ProgramFiles\Display Driver Uninstaller"
    del /q "{root}SyMenu\ProgramFiles\DDU*.exe"

    Other than it, it's doing what I want it to do.

     

    EDIT: I think the issue was that there was a Display Driver Uninstaller folder in SyMenu root folder. Issue seems to be resolved.

  5. I'm trying to add Display Driver Uninstaller to a collection of tools that I'm putting together but the file that is downloaded is a self extracting 7zip exe file. I know how to start the file automatically once it is downloaded but then it pops up with a screen asking me where I want to unpack the files. I would like for the whole process to be automated, since it is just for my recovery usb and I'm in any need for it at the moment.

  6. There are not any subfolders; however, when the zip file contains the files in a folder. When I do 7z e, it takes out the contents of the folder and puts them in the FixWin folder that I have along with the folder that it emptied:

    When I unzip it with the commands that I show in my first post, I get this:

    Since I don't need the Internet shortcut or the Text Document, my work around is this:

    7z e "{file}" -o"{root}SyMenu\ProgramFiles\FixWin\" *.exe *.dll -r -y

  7. I'm trying to figure out how to delete a subfolder that is created when I download FixWin 10. I have the program set to extract the zip folder into a FixWin folder that I have created using the 7z e command to ignore the original structure; however, if a new version is released, the folder named after the version, so I'm left with an empty folder in my FixWin folder with the version name. Currently, it is 10.0.1.0. If a new version comes out, then the name of that folder will change and when I update, I believe that I will have two empty folders: one with the old version name and the other with the new version name. I would like to delete the empty folder during extraction but I don't know how to do that. Any help?
