AMOS Pro Installer (Unattended Installation)
« on: January 25, 2013, 09:07:46 AM »

@Bruceuncle
I'd like to at some point later this year create a rework of mequas AMOS for windows. I've got a few ideas, nothing solid yet.

Think Unattended Installation:
One thing I would like to have it do is take the users name and insert that into the installation routine without any installation screens pop up.

When your browsing the source could you keep a thought for the possibility of a hacked installer that runs an unattended installation script.

Basically all the installation is done in the background except for getting the users name.

Like I said nothing solid ::)

Should'nt be too hard to bypass it completely.
It's in the loader (exe: AMOSPro , source: +b.s) and sticks out like dogs a sore thumb.  There's a set of equates and associated code near the start that I noticed there when I first browsed them.
Not sure if there's anything else used until I do a thorough read through that code.  So I'll get back to you to confirm.  I'm too close to getting some progs released to get too distracted right now.  But looks pretty simple.

Repeat after me ...  "The AMOS Pro architecture is complex but it is not complicated."

Cheers  ;D,  that gives me a starting point to investigate later.

As, when and if you have time, very low priority. So only look if you need a break from everything else.
