Startup Script/Batch for Autostart

 iF EXIST "%systemdrive%\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Greenshot\Greenshot.ini" GOTO START

xcopy /q /y "%PROGRAMFILES%\Greenshot\Greenshot.ini" "%systemdrives%\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Greenshot\"

:START

start "" "%programfiles%\Greenshot\greenshot.exe"

exit

What does the Scripts do:

The installation script create a log folder and logfile for the installation, install Greenshot and copy the startup batch and config to the greenshot folder. A vbs script created in the batch create a link from the startup batch into the autostart folder, this script check if the config INI are already located in the users appdata\roaming folder and when not it copy the default config so every user have the same settings.

The  Startup VAR for the script are the language code, with this you can install directly the language packs and help files for the neede languages (for me: DE = GERMAN, FR=FRANCE, ES=SPAIN, IT=ITALY, PL = POLSKI, TR=TURKE, NL=NETHERLAND).

In my Installationfolder are located this files:

  • Greenshot.ini
  • Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.1.5.2643.exe
  • greenstart.cmd
  • help-es-ES.html
  • help-it-IT.hmtl
  • help-pl-PL.html
  • help-tr-TR.html
  • install_greenshot.cmd
  • language-de-DE.xml
  • language-es-ES.xml
  • language-fr-FR.xml
  • language-it-IT.xml
  • language-nl-NL.xml
  • language-pl-PL.xml
  • language-tr-TR.xm

The XML and HTML files are download directly from the greenshot webside.

    I've created a folder with the above listed files and configured them.
    My problem now is the configuration. Which file has to be run and with what parameters? This is unfortunately not mentioned. - zpajkic 5 years ago

Respectively, install in English, in x86 program files, compact installation without extra stuff, (no sure about components) and no startup.  However, it will launch the website at the end of the installation.
