AutoRun LWMenu

[-ElCoyot-]

I don't know if it's important or not, but. I have practically no programs installed in the system. I built a portable uTorrent. There are no associations in the system. Opens in the browser as "open these types of files". And then the jamb. Writes Autorun.inf was not found. If you collect via Yap, everything works. It's a small thing, but...
try it at home.

And then the jamb. Writes Autorun.inf was not found.

Please clarify what is "the jamb"? What states "Autorun.inf was not found"? What do you run inside autorun.inf and what happens?

When trying to download a torrent through a browser. The browser is configured to open files
.torrent through my portable program.

So I assume you meant you associated .torrent files inside your browser to open in my program.
Which browser do you use? Because some browsers like Chrome just use the OS level file associations (see this question), meaning you associated your OS, not your browser.
In any case, AutoRun looks for autorun.inf inside of either 2 folders:

1. The one mentioned in the command line (e.g. AutoRun_x64.exe c:\foobar\)
2. If it's not specified then within the working folder, which is decided by the program that launched AutoRun. For example, if this was a Windows shortcut, then it would be the "Start in" folder.

So you need to either add a command line to the the association or define a working folder in it. How to do so is based on the browser or OS.
First answer what your browser and let's take it from there.

It's Chromium Based so I assume it uses the OS associations (the ones in Choose defaults by file type, which might posses a challenge as to how to either give them a command line parameter or a working folder statement.

To begin with:

1. Save the following as a VBS filename like test.vbs:

   Code: Select all

   msgbox CreateObject("WScript.Shell").CurrentDirectory

2. Temporarily associate it in CentBrowser (or probably the OS) to open .torrent files
3. Open a .torrent file inside the browser
4. Tell me the output, which will be the working folder

I noticed that if you put this content in %Temp%, then everything works.

Although it works without utorrent.exe

Although it works without utorrent.exe

What do you mean without it?

Anyway, the program expects the presence of autorun.inf and if the working folder is %temp%, how can it be expected to guess you actually put autorun.inf in another random location?
You wrote yaP manages it, but I don't get how would yaP randomly guess where is the INI file. Or maybe does it scan the entire drive for it?

When you associated test.vbs did you associate it through the browser or through Windows? Either way you must find a way to add either a command line parameter or define the working folder (so it won't be %temp%).

Here is the utorrent Yap. Located on the way "D:\TCPU68\Programm\uTorrent ". It works great.
Try to build utorrent with your program and check it yourself. Everything you wrote is incomprehensible to me. I don't have any options.

[lwc]

I can't reproduce it unless you reveal how you associate it to .torrent files. Maybe record a video of it.

So I see there's no association, you just tell Windows to open my program on the downloaded file.
Can you copy and paste here the contents of your autorun.inf? There was a screenshot earlier, but I need it in text to try it.

[CUSTOM CD MENU]
hidetrayicon=1

[BUTTON3]
buttontext=utorrent
relativepathandfilename=App\utorrent.exe
deletefolders=dlimagecache
backuppath=App

If you tie it up .torrent via Windows (open this type of files in ...) that's exactly the same thing. He only additionally asks what to open through. Through the launcher or directly through torrent.exe . Which doesn't make sense without a launcher.

[lwc]

Just to be sure, which folder opens up for you if you click "Browse Folder" inside the launcher?

I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand you. You can do it step by step.
