HI,

I have a valid key and latest Alcohol 120% v1.9.2.1705.

But I can't seem to tell where it puts the key in registry or any other method...

Anyone been through this ?

Problem solved:

CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]
"UserName"="username"
"Company"="Home"
"SerialNo"="removed"

There is a slight problem though , during unattended install, I install it in runonceex and the current user is admin ( as I know ), and HKEY_CURRENT_USER will be valid for admin, after the restart, when you login with your user, it wont be registered, searched a way around this but it's not static, and so far I have no way to do it correctly, any tips ?

Excellent.

@MCT : testing right now.

@Alanoll : from the guide

CODE
Simply place regtweaks.reg in the same folder where cmdlines.txt exists. That would be: C:\XPCD\$OEM$\


I have my RegTewaks.reg in $OEM$\$1\Install, if I put it in $OEM$ will that do ? ( And if so how do I run it, currently running it at the end of runonceex.cmd )

Thanks.

@MCT: sorry to say, it did not work.
MCT
for the cmdlines way..

just put your .reg file inside your $OEM$ directory

& in cmdlines.txt add this
CODE
[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

thats it smile.gif but i'd say its pointless 2 do if u are only wanting it for 1 thing.. the point of this is all tweaks will be applied to
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\
instead of
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\

any difference between REGEDIT -S or /S ?
MCT

does the first segment of code go in start.cmd? and why do you need to have two registrations? sorry noob here...
--=ddSHADOW=--
its for RunOnceEx.cmd and the first .reg register the program for current user, the 2nd reg register the program for all users. Works for me. thumbup.gif

still doesn't work... After installation, the registry have both information in .default and currect user.
Adiel
try importing the information to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]

instead to
[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]

your reg file supposed to look like this :
CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]
"UserName"="your name"
"Company"="something"
"SerialNo"="serial"


works fine for me

still doesn't work, after create a new user and login. The Alcohol report not reister

After reading through a few threads on how to do this, i'm still a bit confused.

I suppose i have to create a .reg file and paste in this:

CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]
"UserName"="your name"
"Company"="something"
"SerialNo"="serial"


Filling in the relevant info, but what do i do then? How do i import this into the reg. This is the part that still confuses me. If ya can't write down in a few easy steps how to do this via a install.cmd file, then don't bother. The last thing i need is to be told to re-read stuff i've already read, and not understood.

and is this waht i should use to install the prgram itself? (in my .cmd file)

start /w %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Alcohol\setup.msi /qn REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS " /f
