| 2 | Delphi Demo 4 |
||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | This is a simple little "ViewZip" application, but it supports |
||
| 5 | automatic install features. The reason I have designed this demo |
||
| 6 | is to show you how to write programs that can install and un-install |
||
| 7 | themselves. |
||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | If VIEWZIP.EXE were being distributed in a Delphi Zip Self-Extracting |
||
| 11 | Archive, you could tell it to run this command line after extraction: |
||
| 12 | '><viewzip /install'. This would bring up the install menu. |
||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | Ways to test this program from a DOS box: |
||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | C>viewzip /install Automatically bring up the install menu |
||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | C>viewzip test.zip Run it with a zip file parameter |
||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | C>start test.zip Check the File Extension assoc. in Registry |
||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | C>start viewzip Check the Application Path in Registry |
||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | C>viewzip /uninstall Automatically perform uninstall and quit |
||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | The uninstall can also be performed from the Control Panel. |
||
| 30 | Select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. |
