"Copy or move the contents of $INSTDIR to a folder of your choice":
I just extracted using uniextract (2. try: 7zip, same result). There is no $INSTDIR, only $PLUGINSDIR, SOUNDS and files imgburn.exe, imgburnpreview.exe, readme.txt.
I suppose this altogether is equivalent to $INSTDIR ? At least it seems to work and afterwards the ini is 18KiB and it created dir "Log Files".

I confirm that *fang-face* is right- the extraction of the latest version of ImgBurn (2.5.8.0) with Universal Extractor version 1.6.1 or with 7-Zip version 9.20 doesn't create any '$INSTDIR' directory.

"Includes disc testing, verification (that files are exactly the same as those on the disc)"

Re verification: I'm not sure, but I think the program only verifies that the burned content is readable. I don't see the source drive active during this process.

I always verify with WinMerge after burning:

XVI32 v2.55

webfork on 3 Jan 2017
  • 1MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 29 Jun 2012
  • Suggested by Flyerfly

XVI32 is a hex editor with large file capability, built-in scripting, data inspector, fast search-and-replace function and many other features specific to manipulating files in hex mode.

Category:
Runs on:Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10
Writes settings to: Application folder
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch XVI32.exe.
What's new?
  • When pasting hex strings from the clipboard, separation of hex chars with spaces is no longer mandatory, e.g. both 0D 0A as well as 0D0A is now valid. This refers to dialogs (search, replace and so on) and the menu item Edit | Clipboard | Paste from hex string. Note: the formats can't be mixed (e.g. 0D 0A00FF is not allowed, the format must be either 0D 0A 00 FF, either 0D0A00FF).
  • Shortcuts for menu items File | Close (Ctrl+F4), File | Save As (F12), Address | Remember Address (Ctrl+Alt+R), Address | Goto Remembered (Ctrl+Alt+G), Tools | Options (Ctrl+Alt+O).
  • Bugfix: Backspace now works within an hex input field when the whole hex string is selected.
  • Bugfix: Invoking CHM help file now works when starting XVI32 outside its own directory.

Both home page and download link work just fine

Holy Cow!! I thought this was totally not developed anymore since it was last updated in 2003!! It's great to see some sort of update especially since I have been using it since 2004.

bajaatan on 2011-06-14 10:52

Yes. This program was perfect hex editor to me for years.
New version is a great news.

Version 1.0.2 supports drag and drop and it calculates the SHA-1 hash as well.

Magibon on 2011-05-11 00:01

Thank you for this.
Works well, love the simplicity, straight-forward design/usage.
I was using another Hash utility that integrated into the Properties Sheet but decided against it this time around because i just don't use it that often.

Great job author.

@Magibon You're welcome, and thanks for the kind words.

SFXMaker is an automation tool for unattended software installations, also known as switchless installers or silent installs. This program especially ideal for those who use nLite, as it adds the option of creating an installer for nLite in the GUI.

SFXMaker 1.2.1 Final was released on January 6. The previous version was RC1.

I have updated the entry. Andrew, please bump it.

Other than that, the author has bad news. :(

"Now comes the part i hate the most. About the future of this project. Pretty cloudy, i may say. Some points :
- This is the last version written in AutoIT (i may change my mind if someone will give me a good reason to continue with au3);
- I would really like to continue this project, but after a while coding the same thing becomes boring. I feel like i'm developing an application just for me, with no actual users out there. If someone sees this message and is considering that my SFXMaker development should continue, send me feedback (via e-mail most probably, forums are down), telling me why he does so.
- If, by any chance, this project will continue, i would like to set up a mini dev-team, to work for a brand new SFXMakert, written maybe in C/C++. Dunno."

I have good news: the author continues development of SFXMaker and just released SFXMaker 1.3.0 Beta yesterday! :)

Anyone know why i can't seem to scan ESET SysInspector's webpage?
http://www.eset.eu/support/changelog-eset-sysinspector
(which btw would be a good addition to this website)

Hydaral on 2010-03-30 01:59

@shaka - I don't think it likes the user agent for WebVersions (or WGET for that matter), a web proxy seems to work:

ESET SysInspector;;1.2.021;http://www.surfwithease.com/index.php?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eset.eu%2Fsupport%2Fchangelog-eset-sysinspector&hl=1c4;false;

Thank you for the idea, it explains the error alright.
I found another suitable page though:

PStart v2.11

webfork on 26 Dec 2022
  • 769KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 7 Jun 2007
  • Suggested by Tony Chard

PStart is an easy-to-use system tray program launcher with a hierarchical list of menus for launching applications and documents, much like the Windows "Start" menu. Includes support for drag-and-drop program management, customizable look and feel, program auto and scheduled start, search, and much more.

Unlike many other launchers, PStart automatically uses relative paths when adding applications and documents, so portability is automatically preserved when changing drive letters as long as the applications and documents are located in the same drive as PStart.

Note: 64-bit OS users may wish to use this in a compatibility mode.

Category:
Runs on:Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista
Writes settings to: Application folder
Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: Yes
Path portability: Automatic relative path (eg. ..\..\personal\work.doc)
License: Freeware
How to extract:
  1. Download the installer and install using the "Portable setup" option to a folder of your choice
  2. Launch PStart.exe
Additional notes from the author (Jens Gruschel): "The installer has a combo box with all removable drives listed. But if you click the [Next] button, you can select any folder you want, so there is no need to copy the file afterwards (which you can do of course). I added this combo box, because I thought that most people would install it to a USB stick (in fact I wrote the program because I wanted such a tool for my USB stick). But since I also like programs located on my D: drive, I didn't want to limit it to removable drives."

@webfork: problem solved;
This is what happened, I had a version of PStart from 4 years ago running on my PC at the D-drive.
When I installed the newest version of PStart on my E-drive I replaced the old version of PStart on the D-drive at the same time, however only the menu of the E-drive was working.
After your last comment that I should work, I completely removed PStart from the D-drive and reinstalled it again.
Now everything works fine, I think that some remains of the old Pstart menu was interfering..does not matter anymore, I got what I want..!!
Great, thanks a lot Webfork...
_joepie_ makes a deep bow for WF.. :)

webfork on 2012-09-22 19:54

The program does indeed have minor problems on Win7: I frequently have to restart in order to get to the "Panel" view. Based on developer activity to date, we are unlikely to see an update to fix this.

albert on 2017-04-12 22:18

The best launcher I've never used. It works very well in Windows 10, and only in 769KB.
I've love it very much.
