Delphi Demo 4
This is a simple little "ViewZip" application, but it supports
automatic install features. The reason I have designed this demo
is to show you how to write programs that can install and un-install
themselves.
If VIEWZIP.EXE were being distributed in a Delphi Zip Self-Extracting
Archive, you could tell it to run this command line after extraction:
'><viewzip /install'. This would bring up the install menu.
Ways to test this program from a DOS box:
C>viewzip /install Automatically bring up the install menu
C>viewzip test.zip Run it with a zip file parameter
C>start test.zip Check the File Extension assoc. in Registry
C>start viewzip Check the Application Path in Registry
C>viewzip /uninstall Automatically perform uninstall and quit
The uninstall can also be performed from the Control Panel.
Select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.
