{Written from the perspective of a new Winbuilder user, with only BartPE prior experience.}
FCW is a clone of the old Dos NC, but has Win 32 + 64 bit as well Os/2 (now known as eCS). On the other platforms it is known simply as FC. I think I have been a registered user since Windows 3.1 days and first used FC under Os/2. Later the Australian author, Brian Havard, produced a Windows version and in very recent years, many Linux versions.
Base or Stable version here:-

Current Beta and Linux versions here:-

I should add FCW is a very minor Nagware, as it only occasionally complains but is otherwise fully functional and without any limitations.
For those like myself who may decide to register, the registration is as the example below.. The same serial number does all operating system types without restriction.
After registering within the program extract this data from the Windows Registry and process for WinBuilder. I used ConvRegToInf20.exe I found via the BootLand forums from Paraglider:-

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\File Commander/W]"Name"="Your registered Name""Serial"=dword:YourSerial"Time"=dword:xxxxxxxxHere is MY customised fcw.ini file if anyone is interested to use as an example of config options. It does not containing any serial numbers so is quite legal.fcw.ini (derived from my hard drive fcw.ini, not fully tested - a work in progress and will probably change it to suit 7-zip instead of WinRar):-

Notes:-
If WinRar use is required, the two WinRar registration files will have to be added to the script via WinBuilder.exe. ie. rarreg.key and rarnew.dat - these have been left out of the script file.
I have used a freeware utility to convert my fcw1.cmd batch file to an fcw1.exe file and also save an icon file within it. I did this because, as a newby to WinBuilder, I could not find a way to apply an icon to a .cmd file in LiveXP.
This freeware utility can be found at:-
"Bat To Exe Converter"
http://www.f2ko.de/d...e_Converter.zip
The fcw1.cmd file I used contains:-
@echo offrem loading .... File Commander for Windows ...PATH=%path%;%systemdrive%\Program Files\fcwcall "%systemdrive%\Program Files\fcw\fcw.exe"
The commandline I used to make fcw1.exe, was (all on one line):-
Bat_To_Exe_Converter.exe -bat fcw1.cmd -save fcw1.exe -icon fcw1.ico
The above can also be done through the programs' GUI interface.
Credits to WetHat for the script template and lots of others (please advise if you recognise your work. I forget where I got everything from, for this project.)
