Re: Tech tool store
Not that I am aware of. I think Fred has been really busy and may not be currently working on it.

Re: Tech tool store
Thanks for that information Jim. I have been away from the board for a while. I wasn't aware how busy he was. He's such a dedicated guy.

Re: Tech tool store
He made a couple comments a couple weeks to a month ago that indicated he had a lot of stuff going on so I'm just going off of that. I really have no news on TTS at all. I am curious myself as to the status of it.

Re: Tech tool store
Hey guys.
I worked on tech tool store for about a week, in the last month. The application itself is nearly ready, but I also have to make it's website pages, license buying system, etc. And UVK doesn't let me much free time to work on the other projects I have. There are always new features to add, bugs to fix... It's been like a marriage commitment.

Re: Tech tool store
I don't know if it could be added to uvk. The thread is about tech tool store. Its (the ninite) not in beta anymore, Its subscription based now. They want like $20 for the smallest plan to use the app (Pro verison). Just use the website version. Its free for consumers, and after all the machine your a fixing belongs to a consumer. You probably wont need it till the end of your cleanup anyway and your browsers should be working fine by then. Tech tool store does basically the same thing except only d/loads utilities. Maybe if Fred wanted to compete, he could add a few categories and support the apps that ninite does in addition to the apps that tech tool store already supports. Then there would be no need for ninite.
Re: Tech tool store
I just spent the last two days looking at miscellaneous launchers and found this in the forum by accident.
If nothing else, this should be under UVK's Links button (it can have MSSE's spot; it's useless AV). I know it's a good thing to keep filesize down but this is only 1300kb...I wouldn't complain if it were integrated.

Re: Tech tool store
As far as I know the reason it is not posted anywhere is Fred made one Beta of it and then got busy on other things. This has not been updated in a while that I know of because of work on UVK. I have thought about it being nice to add to UVK but I'm not sure how much stuff you really want to pack into one app before it just becomes overwhelming. The last time I talked to Fred on this he still was not sure where it was going to wind up but he may have changed his mind by now

Re: Tech tool store
It's in pretty good shape as it is. I can add apps and update 'em; hide the ones I'll never use.
One of the only things I've been feeling like UVK has been lacking is an easy way to launch those "one-off" programs that might not be suitable as part of a sequence; tools you might only need sometimes like AV-uninstallers and drive space apps (SpaceSniffer).

Re: Tech tool store
Add them in the Repair section and use them when ever you need them.
Personally I think the repair section is a lil clunky but I really don't know how to fix it though..... Maybe an idea will come along one day.

Re: Tech tool store
New update 1.1. Tech tool store is now fully functional. I'll be creating its website and adding a few more tools in the next couple of weeks. I plan to have it ready by the end of the current month.

Re: Tech tool store
New update 1.2. Tech tool store now supports commands to open files, and even with extra command line parameters. This feature will also be added to UVK in the next update.
For instance, to install an MSI package, you no longer need to use
even though it is still the recommended way. You can use just
You can also make use of this new feature to open internet locations and other protocols. For instance, you can create an app that opens one or several internet pages, tutorials, for instance. You just need to set the URL of the page as the command.
Or you can make use of the mailto protocol to create tools that email your clients.
Or you can make your tools open local documents, such as MS office docs, text files, or PDF docs, by simply specifying the path of the document itself, which will be opened with the default application in the current PC.
Also added a new section of tools for Security software uninstallers, as requested by Xander in another topic.
Ad finally, the application now contains both 32 and 64 bits files. This should fix some limitations in the 32 bits version working on 64 bits systems, such as not being able to monitor 64 bit processes by their paths. Obviously this increased the size of the executable, which is now around 3MB. TTS will take care of extracting and running the corrrect file, depending on the current OS arch, you don't need to worry about it.
For instance, to install an MSI package, you no longer need to use
Code: Select all
msiexec.exe "Package path.msi" /passive /norestart
Code: Select all
PackagePath.msi /passive /norestart
Or you can make use of the mailto protocol to create tools that email your clients.
Code: Select all
mailto:obama@whitehouse.gov?subject=Congrats%20Obama
mailto:obama@whitehouse.gov?subject=Congrats%20Obama&body=Enjoy%20your%20stay%0ARegards%20
Code: Select all
%ToolsDir%\Docs\Tutorial 1.pdf
%ToolsDir%\Docs\Tutorial 2.docx
%ToolsDir%\Docs\Tutorial 3.txt

Re: Tech tool store
Cool Update,
Tried to test out Complete Internet Repair.
However, It is not automated.
Zip is downloaded & then no more commands are used to unzip & run the program.
Not sure if this is an error in the new release as I did not use the intended program before this release, but just pointing out a bug.
AWESOME!

This is prebuilt into the software, How can I edit the code.. Or just create a new application line item for it?Charger440 wrote:Not sure if it's what you need or not....

Re: Tech tool store
I was thinking that was a custom tool that you had done. I went back and looked for Fred's built in version and your right, it does not work. The download window comes up then disappears....

Re: Tech tool store
Thanks for reporting this. For some reason, the option to unzip the file was disabled. Go figure.
