Autorun Splash

[GreySpatter]

Hey there..

Would you like to help me make a installer for PR?
I could make one all alone, but I only know Visual Basic, and I dont want the installer to be dependent on a framework.
Therefore, It would be desirable to make it in C or something like that.

The plan is to copy the layout of the original autorun programs from BF2 and SpecialForces.
A simple mechanism detects if the game is installed, and displays Install/Play accordingly.
If user selects "Install", simply launch the core_install file and wait untill it terminates, then launch the Maps installer.
So really, pretty straight forward. I can supply the needed graphics/buttons.


I'm thinking something along the lines of this:

Which registry entries does PR use?

(I haven't had PR installed by the installer for quite some time)

I have no idea what RegKeys It uses, but if a DEV-guru can't tell us, then i could reinstall it with a regmonitor running.

Well, get me the registry values and I can take a look onto it

Summer 2007 I also used to make one:

Looks like the juicy RegKeys from ProjectReality install is located here:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\Project Reality Core_is1

Im assuming you are thinking about the method of detecting if the game is installed or not.
There is a key called "InstallLocation" that should provide the info you need.

elmnt0852 - Great minds think alike, eh? :P
Did you complete it, or just make the GFX for it?

Dead on.

Could you, by any chance, export the reg entries so I can import and try by my own?
