Open the file using a text editor and translate the entries. Make sure the filename is still something like language_#_#.xml. In order to create a new translation, use an existing language file from your Greenshot installation (they are located in the Languages subdirectory of Greenshot's installation directory - please make sure that you are having the latest available version installed) and duplicate it using the respective language code in the filename. If you create a translation for Greenshot, we would of course be very happy if you shared it with us and other Greenshot users.īefore starting a new translation, please make sure that none has been provided for this language yet in our translations tracker as well as in our SVN repository, to avoid the translation work being done twice. We are excited about seeing the Greenshot interface in different languages and hope that there are more to come. English and German are included in Greenshot by default. (There will probably be an easier feature in future versions, allowing the download of additional languages right out of Greenshot.)Īt the time of this writing, Greenshot has already been translated to Czech, French, Russian and Traditional Chinese (thanks to vodim, EminoMeneko, Aleksey and Timothy Lin), a Dutch version is in progress already. Greenshot's user interface content is loaded from separate XML files now, which means that you can change existing language files or even add new languages simply by editing or adding an XML file. The package will also work on both x86 and 圆4 platforms.You may have noticed that since version 0.8, we are offering additional language files on our downloads page. Now you will have a working Package that will install, uninstall silently and not update on its own over internet. The uninstall command should be: %SpecopsDeployExecuteDir%\uninstall.cmdĮnable the Uninstall the package if the deployments fall “Out of scope of Management” checkbox. Now I can create a new legacy package in Specops Deploy / App that points to install.cmd. The root folder where all four files reside should look like: "%ProgramFiles%\greenshot\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT \greenshot.ini "c:\program files\greenshot\greenshot.ini" /Y Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.2.6.7-RELEASE.exe /VERYSILENTĬopy. IF "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" = "AMD64" GOTO X64 I created two script files in the root folder called Install.cmd and Uninstall.cmd allowing my x86 package to be installed and uninstalled on both x86 and 圆4 windows OS without any problems. Add steps 1-3 to Specops Deploy / AppĪll I have to do now is to put all three steps into deploy /app. Edit the greenshot.ini file and change the line UpdateCheckInterval=1 to UpdateCheckInterval=0.

You should disable the application update as most users are not local admins, and should not be presented an upgrade option.įind the greenshot.ini in the profile folder C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Greenshot and copy the file to the root folder where the greenshot.exe resides. The application automatically looks for new versions. You need to close the application first or run a command called TaskKill during uninstallation, see the Uninstall.cmd part below to copy the working solution. You cannot uninstall the application if it is running. I tried the same silent switch for the uninstall like this: %ProgramFiles%\greenshot\unins000.exe /VERYSILENT I found an in c:\program files\greenshot. Many open source applications use an uninstall.exe file under the program files folder after the installation. When you see the silent switch, select /VERYSILENT: Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.2.6.7-RELEASE.exe /VERYSILENT is the correct switch for a silent installation. Open a command prompt as administrator and run the application with the silent switch /? – in this case: Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.2.6.7-RELEASE.exe /? Download the application to the c:\temp folder on a test machine. Make sure that the application can be installed silently. There are three steps you need to follow for deployment: Step 1: Silent install In this blog, I will demonstrate how to install an open source application such as Greenshot with Specops Deploy / App in a simple and standardized way. Greenshot is an open source screenshot tool, similar to the Windows Snipping Tool, but with more functionalities – and it’s free.
