Extras Addon Pack

[widhie75]

I think theres a bug/wrong script command in Auto Patcher (CmdHerePowertoySetup.exe)
It only showing "command line parameter", and then stop, no install.

@widhie75 -- it appears that I have the incorrect switches for the installation section. I will correct this later today.

Updated, please refer to posting in Windows XP x86 for further information

I did have the incorrect commandline switches, I'M A BAD BOY !!!!

What CmdHere basically does is adds an option to the context menus of the folders to quickly access a command window. It’s a shortcut for the cmd.exe file with the additional advantage that the command window, which will be opened, will automatically set the path to the folder from which you execute cmd.exe. The new option will show up on the context menus after the program's installation, and you will identify it as CMD SHELL:\>

I have made changes to the layout of the Extras release, now only utilizes one directory for storage of the installer files. If you care to look you will notice that with Java and VC Redist downloaded there are only 3 folders instead of 13..

Comments welcome..

well no one complained about the changes so I guess it was a success.

Out of cycle - Microsoft Silverlight - 5.1.30514.0 - updated today

[Whatacrock]

Thanks for heads up DesertJerry..

Extras updated July 24 to reflect on this update, now on main list

changelog: @Silverlight x64/x86;

[DesertJerry]

Adobe Flash Players now come in three varieties: ActiveX, Pepper, and Plugin. Pepper is their new 'nickname' for the version compatible with Opera and Chrome - maybe others. You might want to consider redoing the appropriate scripts and APMs to reflect this new reality.

@DesertJerry -- "Pepper" is classed as a plugin. If anything just a "Title" edit is in order. Will change this on next edit of the notIE apm modules. "Title=Adobe Flash Player xx.x.x.xxx for Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome & Safari"

Flash Player is integrated with Google Chrome as Pepper plug-in. It's possible that you have issues with Adobe Connect, Adobe AIR badge installation, or some of the game sites in the latest Chrome Flash Player plug-in. As a workaround, enable the system plug-in in Google Chrome.

If you have installed Flash Player using Mozilla Firefox or Safari, Google Chrome displays it in the plug-in list. You can enable this plug-in in Chrome.

At http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
the list states:
Flash Player for Internet explorer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox and Netscape Plug-in compatible applications - NPAPI
Flash Player for Opera and Chromium based applications - PPAPI

that tells me there is a possibility all three versions could be installed depending on what the user has opted to install.

@DesertJerry --- will look into this when time permits.

If this is the case then will a member to supply data to create an apm module etc as I do not use either Opera or Chromium based browsers. Will post if more info is required..


Update: It appears that the "Pepper" Flash Player is still in BETA, so for the time being it's up to the individual to install. This may change in the future, however !!
