Getting a Clean SnAppShot of Opera

I've found that ZENworks doesn't make a clean snAppShot of Opera 7.11. It won't take all ini-Settings correctly. Here's how I was able to make it all work so you can distribute and run Opera 7.11.

Solution

  1. Within the Snapshot-Tool select "Custom" and deselect that Snapshot will scan ini-Files.
  2. Now make your Installation (it doesn't matter if you install with or without Java). Additional you could run Opera and change some Default-Settings like the Proxy.
  3. Now copy all ini-Files under the Opera-Directory (Target-Path)into an subdirectory of your FIL-Directory (Source-Path). I use one called "INI".
  4. And copy all INI-Files under ApplicationData, Opera Director into another Subdirectory of the FIL-Dir. I use "User-INI".
  5. Now you have to complement the Opera711.axt with the line that will tell the application to copy the ini-Files. You can see them in my Example. It's generally:

    [File Copy]
    Flag=Update Create
    Source=%SOURCE_PATH%\YourDir]\File.INI
    Target=%TARGET_PATH%\Where_you_found_the_ini
  6. Now save the AXT-File and make your Application Object with ConsoleOne
  7. Now you should be able to distribute and run Opera 7.11

Example

Here are my additions to the Opera711.axt:

Flag=Update Create
Source=%SOURCE_PATH%\INI\OperaDef6.ini
Target=%TARGET_PATH%\OperaDef6.ini
