Error when reinstalling the program from the command line.

[l0pez]

I Install Totalcmd by SCCM. Tcmd756a unpacked. In the file install.inf I changed the line DIR to C:\Program Files\Total Commander.
After the automatic installation of the application is installed in c:\Program Files\Total Commander. It is correct. After removal of the application and change the line DIR in the file install.inf to d:\totalcommander does not give any result. Still the application installs in the directory c:\Program Files\ Total Commander. It isn't correct.

In the file install.inf I changed the line DIR to C:\Program Files\Total Commander.

This line holds the initial installation dir, if no TC has been installed before.

Each further installation will update the existing installation only.
The path of an existing installation is written to one of the following registry keys:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\InstallDir
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ghisler\Total Commander\InstallDir

You have to change the value of this key accordingly or just delete it, before a new installation dir will be chosen.

BTW: I guess you have changed at least one more line:
auto=1

I heve removed both keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\InstallDir
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ghisler\Total Commander\InstallDir

TotalCommander is instaled in c:\program files\totalcommander instead of d:\total commander still.

In install.inf i hav Dir=d:\total commander and autom = 1.

Try to disable auto (auto=0), you'll see choice update or new installation.

Anyway, TC installer tries to read install path from specified reg keys and suggests that path if found else suggests path specified in install.inf.

I have changed auto=1 to auto=0 and installer suggest me old patch to c:\program files\totalcommander , no path set in install.inf file:
Dir=d:\totalcommander.
I do not know from this information is taken about destination folder c:\program files\totalcommander, becouse i deleted both keys from registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander\InstallDir
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ghisler\Total Commander\InstallDir.

I installed Total commander in c:\program files\totalcommander previously.

You may try to remove wincmd.ini from Windows dir and under user AppData (if exist) temporarily - maybe installer reads path from that files.
