usb controls

rmccue · 8th February 2006, 09:27

Is there a way to have USB controls like Safely Remove Device and such?
If not could someone make a plugin please

You problem is not really clear, BUt i read it like: when install begins I want to send an command to the OS as same as someone would have clicked "Savly remove hardware", Is this correct?

NOTE:
Most of the time if you need a feature like this you installer strategy is wrong.

And yes, theoretically one can create a plugin for this or use the System plugin.

Yep thats what I want to do

rmccue · 10th February 2006, 21:28

so how can i do it?

rmccue · 12th February 2006, 02:15

I have noticed that I could use devcon but that needs too much config by the user
Since my installer is always on a USB could it just use the current drive letter

and is there any dll that i can call

You should search MSDN for information on this. If you find out a piece of code that does this, someone here will surely be able to help you converting it into NSIS code.

Nothing on MSDN
I have found hotplug.dll which looks interesting...

Theoretically I could create a plugin yes, but sorry I do not even have time improve and to modify the only plugin I wrote for NSIS.

Well OK I was in a good mood, the attatched Delphi source file will get you (or me

, or maybe someone else started...

rmccue · 16th February 2006, 06:03

Damn
Just uninstalled Delphi
Could someone compile this please?

onad · 16th February 2006, 10:58

It is just the essential code, not a whole NSIS plugin. You have to create this yourself or mimic the behaviour by using the NSIS System plugin.

Well combine the example Delphi NSIS plugincode with this code and you are well on your way to your goal.

Yes, sadly most of the time programming takes a lot of persistence and effort, nothing else helps there

Good luck.

delphi sucks :P

because you cant build the universe on E = m * Delphi², can you?

rmccue · 18th February 2006, 02:34

This is what brings up the dialog:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

How do call this from a script?

kichik · 19th February 2006, 18:58

With ExecWait.

rmccue · 25th February 2006, 03:15

Is anyone working on this plugin?

rmccue · 25th February 2006, 21:19

If not can someone please

rmccue · 1st March 2006, 19:32

This plugin would be really handy if someone developed
