    Incredibly, I am very sorry that I dared to express my problems in this forum.
    And I dared to ask for help. I promise not to do so from now on.
    That's it from me..

    You can use the MSI installers which will install the browser to program files instead of user folder.

    Have cleaned the above code a bit

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ShimInclusionList\brave.exe]

    "UninstallCmdLine"="\"C:\\Users\\Bira\\AppData\\Local\\BraveSoftware\\Update\\BraveUpdate.exe\" /uninstall"
    "version"="1.3.361.113"
    
    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2793094955-4090671099-974194982-1001\Software\BraveSoftware\Update\Clients\{AFE6A462-C574-4B8A-AF43-4CC60DF4563B}]
    "lang"="en"
    "name"="Brave"
    "pv"="103.1.40.109"
    
    

    You can use the Environment variable for %LOCALAPPDATA% or %USERPROFILE% instead of C:\\Users\\Bira\\AppData\\Local, but again since the user won't exist you may need to move the files from installed user folder to default user folder with proper permissions and make changes in the registry to reflect the default user folder.

    Removing Windows Firewall triggers an error at the end of Firefox installation and that's why its removal has been disabled, the same has been specified in the readme.txt

    From recent findings the removal of Windows Firewall is not displaying the error if the source OS is Windows 11, only for Windows 10 a fix needs to be worked out.

    Do you think these files with user folders are better to be thrown to setupcomplet.cmd, will it get the user, after done in the installation? because @inTerActionVRI we are seeing this and he suggested, do you think it's right or do you have another master idea? because %LOCALAPPDATA% will get C:\\Users\\Bira\\AppData\\Local and how to modify this user in the reg? because as brave whatssap said among others, they are all files straight from the user's folders

    I checked with brave browser, but they don't provide msi installer for their browser.

    What I did suggested was to move the browser data from C:\\Users\\Bira\\AppData\\Local to C:\\Users\\Default\\AppData\\Local so that it copies the same data for each user creations.

    Then using the "%LOCALAPPDATA%\\BraveSoftware\\Brave-Browser\\Application\\brave.exe\" will work.

    Will try to create a pack for Brave Browser and let you know.

    hi
    @MSMG
    is there a text version of how to make your own packs for msmg?
    i'm blind and the video version of how you created the packs will not work for me?
    would be greate if a utility could be made that would automate this process.

    hi all,
    here's how i'm hacking this, feel free to chip in if you want.
    1.
    i'm using gimagex
    to capture to location of the package that i wish to capture to turn in to a tpk.
    so example here libreoffice.
    i'm going to capture the main programme files directory.
    then append the directory which contains the start menu entry's.
    i've exported the branch from the registry concerning libreoffice.
    after the capture and append process completes, i'm going to rename to .tpk and test it in a windows image.
    also will put the reg file generated in the relevant folder in the toolkit folder.
    that would be the custom /w10 folder write?
    feel free to tell me that this is a load of bull.
    or otherwize.

    poise master, as brave opera would say, which are also .exe installers, it still operates offline, but brave does not axiste off, only online, and many do not have msi, and the installation will go even in the users folder, what I need is just to know , how to modify this in the reg, if with %% or % the LOCALAPPDATA so that when the user is inserted in the installation, get the same directly, because if it is not recognized, the integrated application even works , however it will not appear in the remove of windows, and not I'll be able to uninstall it, I did several tests here, I tested them and they worked, some I had to integrate with C++ or Webedge, otherwise they wouldn' t work, which ones I saw here are, directly from the users' folder, brave, whatssap, opera, uttorent, it's good that I'm talking this for you to be aware of, about these boring apps lol, thanks again master, ,, and if possible prepare the reg, to integrate directly offline, without sending it to setupcomplete, cool serial, if the master manages to do that, then we can do it all at once...If you could please make the modifications with a video, it would be cool to learn everything how to do it...

    hi
    @Bira
    run the brave installer as the administrator,
    this should install to the programme files directory.
    and not the local user data dir.

    it's sloppy design that they can't even ask to elevate to an admin.

    all the applications that I integrate are as privileges as admin, this is from the same application directly from the user folder and from the manufacturer

    so in other words, what?
    system privs?
    to be fair, I did use the standalone installer.
    not sure if this made a change or not?

    as I said here, all applications, whatever they are, I always install them as an administrator, so as not to have an error, some install them in the program files, other applications install them in the users folder, this is from the application, being as an administrator, or not my friend mhussain, this is from the app itself...
