Repackaging Tips
The application uses an ini file, 'uedit64u.ini', that is placed in the user's AppData\Roaming\IDMCOMP\UltraEdit folder.
Preconfiguration of the app may be performed by including this file in the package. Change line to 'Check For Updates=0' to disable update checks.
- The app adds 4 shortcuts, 3 to the main program and one for the uninstaller.
- It is normal to remove the desktop and quick launch versions of the main program and also the uninstaller.
- There are no shell extensions, protocol handlers, or services.
- The product has xml files in the installation area; it is unclear if these might change in use.
- The configuration is a file under AppDataRoaming.
- After the app install, copy the configuration file (uedit64u.ini) with desired settings under the logged-in user's AppData/Roaming/IDMComp/UltraEdit folder.
- If this file is added, you must also create the folder AppData/Roaming/IDMComp/UltraEdit/volatile (and either place a dummy file in it or let the MMPT create one for you). Otherwise, the end-user will get a popup error on the first run that it can't create the folder.
- The product installs PRogIDs, but you have to run the product and use file->settings to apply the FTAs. We solved this without launching during capture by using a reg file (running an installed copy and exporting the FTA to create a reg file, shown below) during this capture.
- Four COM objects are ignored by the MMPT because the app did not register the ProgID in the exact form the MMPT expected. Clearly, the base OS didn't mind this, but the MMPT does. We overcome this by importing an additional reg file:
reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Classes/CertMng.CertStores/CurVer] @="CertMng.CertStores.1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Classes/CertMng.Certificates/CurVer] @="CertMng.Certificates.1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Classes/WeOnlyDo.DirItem/CurVer] @="WeOnlyDo.DirItem.1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Classes/WeOnlyDo.DirItems/CurVer] @="WeOnlyDo.DirItems.1"
In TMEditX
* PsfLauncher is required as is the FRF.
* Several Shell commands are missing for the fta in the manifest as MMPT supports only one verb per FTA. TMEditX can fix this.
* LoaderSearchOrder fix to manifest is warrented. TMEditX can fix this.
* ExecutionAlias fix to manifest is warrented. TMEditX can fix this.
