Hi has anyone got the switch for Shareaza (I only use it for BT)

Thanks
TAPNET

/S gets it installed, that's an upper case S, but at the end it asks if you would like to run it now. No biggie I guess if you're installing it at a point where the machine will be rebooting shortly anyways, should work out ok.

Have you tried Azureus?

IMHO the best BT client around. Also uses /S for silent installation.

You also need the Java Runtime Environment (j2re-1.4.2_04)

Thanks
ZoSTer, Nah i like my shareaza

You can use this script for a silent install:


Make sure the path to the .exe is correct. Save as .vbs

sorry i dont understand that code there DarkBringer

You don't really have to understand it. But what its doing is pausing and sending keys such as TAB and ENTER to the active window of the installation. In short - its automating key presses.

since shareaza (v2.0.20beta, anyway) uses the inno installer, i just create shareaza.inifwith the control switches that'll let you control how it installs:



and then run the following from start.cmd:



and voila... hope that helps someone...

Don't mean to flame, but aren't you guys forgetting the basics?

If it uses inno, the usual filename.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- should take care of em.

/S worked fine for me. It didn't ask me if I wanted to run it now.

Yeah me too.

What versions you guys have? I have v2.0.0.0

I tried that ... but the Setup screen asking where I want Shareaza installed popped up.

I'm gonna try just the /S switch and see if that works.


Edit:

The /S switch worked perfectly.

/S does not work with version 2.1.0.0

iirc, its /VERYSILENT /SP- for latest version

This command also worked for me. It installed silently..... /verysilent

Thanks for the quick reply but I was gonna try the /verysilent /sp-

Which by the way worked like a charm.
