How to launch this from a button bar icon?

[sidefx88]

Hi!

I use a lot the tool "LPKSETUP" which is included in several versions of Windows to change the system language.

So, I decided to shortcut launching it from the TC button bar. I've created the button, but this exe file is so slippery.

If I hit the button in TC I get an error "Windows can't find the file...", but if I launch it from the Run... window (Win + R) it works fine.

I've tried to create the button on TC using "lpksetup", "lpksetup.exe", both with and without admin rights. Nothing seems to work

Any idea to solve this?

Thanks!

No problem here.
Just drag the exe from C:\Windows\System32\lpksetup.exe onto the button bar
and it works without any modification.

For me on 32-bit Vista it also works fine with a button:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
lpksetup.exe

lpksetup.exe

The problem is that in my Windows 10 the lpksetup.exe is not located in C:\Windows\System32\lpksetup.exe.

I've tried in 6 different computers (all Windows 10 Pro x64, some are 15063, some are 17134, some are 1803) and this file is located in different locations on each PC, for example:

c:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-lpksetup_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.15063.0_none_326d3a42a5473084\ or
c:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-lpksetup_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.17134.1_none_06d9ed60d5a2dd06\

As I use TC in portable mode on a pendrive (UseIniInProgramDir=7), I'm not able to launch lpksetup.exe "universally" on every PC because this file seems to locate on different paths according to the Windows version.

Maybe I must write a script, but I have no idea how to do that for this case

The strange thing is: if I run LPKSETUP.exe from the Run... (Win + R) panel it works fine on every computer.

Any further help?

Thanks

Are you using a 32 Bit Total Commander version?
-> Windows x64: Explorer vs TC: Content of System32 different

I've forgot to mention that! Yes, my TC is 32 bit.

I will check the link you posted.

Thanks, not bad! I can launch it from the Everything results (which I have integrated on a TC subfolder.

I think I will use this script until I found something more straight...

You can also start lpksetup.exe directly in Everything (double click in result list).

Run C:\Windows\Sysnative\lpksetup.exe in stead of C:\Windows\System32\lpksetup.exe

Thanks a lot! That worked fine and straight!
