Hi @kkguo ,

i have found a easy solution, maybe for you too. I have make a WPI pack for me (Windows Post installer) (take a look in my blackysgate.de/files ) and had need a unattended package for your program. And , i have Winrar in use too, so what's most close to use easy winrar, make a compresses sfx-pack, where create links on Startmenu and on desktop if need.. and start a programm or a script at end of the extracting..

stop explorer set versionsvariable go into ApkShellExt2-%versionsvariable% execute bat/cmd and add a deltree command for remove the other folders goto %ProgramFiles% deltree ApkShellExt2-"XXXX", ApkShellExt2-"XXXX", ApkShellExt2-"XXXX", ApkShellExt2-"XXXX", ApkShellExt2-"XXXX" (all/ or the last 5 public version of the last releases) start explorer adding the ApkshellExt2 dll

and all is done..

why a hyper super douper and mega expensive Installer, if it is works also more easier..

take my file, extracting and anaysing the batchfile add deleteing of the past versions "in folder" for remove if the explorer down and test my rarfile, and you can create also a Rarfile and with the shareware-version it's also possible, so..

apkshellext2_v2.0.7-rar-sfx.zip

this file can you extract and testing in Virtualbox

best regards Blacky

Hi, @blackcrack , it's really a good approach, and I believe it will help a lot of people too. I would like to treat anything aside the core feature as a secondary development. And as I said, secondary development is always welcome. Is it possible you could handle the self-extract type installer release in the future? (if any release happening :)) You could make a wiki page in the project and put all your pack there, or/and I can of course add your file into the release page if you permit. Thanks for your help.
