Preparation

The provided installer is not able to perform a silent install. However, it is possible to unpack the installer, make changes that are enable it to install silently, and repack it. Because the installer is digitally signed, you need a special version of sfxhead.sfx to repack it.

  1. Install TotalCommander locally
  2. Get the installer SFX EXE: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/addons/sfxhead_installer.zip
  3. Unpack new sfxhead.sfx file to the TotalCommander directory (rename the existing sfxhead.sfx to sfxhead.sfx.org)
  4. Download the installer tcmd756a.exe
  5. Unpack the installer to a new directory (press STRG+Page Down)
  6. Modify install.inf and add your files (i.e. wincmd.key for license and windcmd.ini for more settings). See the TotalCommander Wiki and Forum
  7. Create a new zip file with the option "self extracting archive", name it i.e. tcmdr7546a_auto.exe
  8. Rename the old sfxhead.sfx

install.inf

Edit the provided install.inf as you need it. The following is only an example of the lines that have been changed, do not use it as your actual install.inf!

// Set auto=1 for automatic installation, hidden=1 for invisible installer, with parameters below and from [Installation]
// lang= sets language, alllang=1 installs all other languages, iniloc=c:\wincmd sets ini location
