For me it is unethical t put search button on others webpage without their consent.

Well, first off, thanks for this post. Now, onto my bump in getting this to work.. I can’t seem to make the homepage change optional in the install. What I’d like is for at some point in the install the user be asked if they’d like their homepage changed, just a tickbox that says something like “Change homepage?” or something along those lines. I’ve toyed around with Setup Specialist quite a bit, and couldn’t seem to figure it out.

So, if anyone knows how to do this, or knows of any other software that may aid me in doing this, I’m all ears.

No worries. I’ll change. I also would love your advice on a bigger project I’m working on. I’ll send you and email to get your thoughts.

Thanks!

shit sorry man
I just realized the mistake i made in the post.
The actual regkey to change is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
its not a bad idea to change the default in the local machine to though.

I updated the post.

Honest mistake

Thanks! everything seems to be working fine, but the default homepage does not change automatically after the installation. Meaning, the user will have to go to Internet Options and set the homepage to “default” and save this.

I was under the impression that after the complete installation the default homepage would change automatically?

In setup specialist click on Start Programs. Its just to the right of Program Icons. Then click “Setup Finished.” Then right click in the box and click New >> Program. Then put in the path to your exe. Click OK.

For the homepage method you shouldn’t have to grab the sid. You should just be able to put in your search box code Adsense gives you.

I’m using the hompage method. It seems a bit easier..

In Setup Specialist the last tabs are “Create Setup” and “Registry”…is this where I set the step for it to execute the second exe?

Sorry..I’m not much of a techie

Good question,
Are you using the homepage method or the toolbands method?

Thanks!

installer programs are all slightly different but each one has a section where you can specify a path to be excuted after you click on each step. So when the person clicks hte finish button you can have it execute %program files%\My Title\mysoftware.exe

In Setup Specialist its the last tab on the bottom.

How do I set the exe for the screen saver to get initiated right after the first install completes?

You are nothing more than a virus writer doing this to computers. Go think - how may systems are you going to fuck up for your petty Adsense rewards?
