I'm brand new to creating unattended installs but wondered if someone could point me in the right direction.

I want to install O&O Defrag 6 which goes on OK but I cannot register automatically. Looking at the previous example on http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/oodefragpro.htm it looks like I should be able to create a reg file with the following :-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\O&O\O&O Defrag\6.0\Pro]
"User"="InsertName"
"Company"="InsertCompanyName"
"SerialNo"="InsertSerial"

Trouble is, if I create something like this and double click the reg file it says "Cannot import - the specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary reg files from within the registry editor.

Any ideas anyone.

Cheers
Steve

A reg file has to start with this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

So your reg file would be:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\O&O\O&O Defrag\6.0\Pro]
"User"="InsertName"
"Company"="InsertCompanyName"
"SerialNo"="InsertSerial"

Try putting:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\O&O\O&O Defrag\6.0\Pro]
"User"="InsertName"
"Company"="InsertCompanyName"
"SerialNo"="InsertSerial"

Edit: Lol, bucketbuster - u bet me to it

That's what you need to do jakdos. I hope it works fine for you now.

BTW, it would be nice if registry sections where properly set apart as (CODE) on the boards. Easy on the eyes, and quicker to find what you are looking for. Do it like this: Nicer isn't it ? Thanks for following that guideline.

Nice one, thanks guys.

Works fine now. I didn't really see the need for the first line but obviously makes all the difference.

Hi all,

Thought you may find this of use. Did you realise that when you install O&O Defrag Pro in unattended mode that it does not set itself as the default system defrag tool? Personally i wanted to have this as the default tool - so after some investigations i have found that it writes to the following regkey



Obviously if you are not installing to the Folder then you need to change this to suit your installation. Don't forget the double backslashes

Hope you find this information helpful and as an added help below is a regfile already setup with the pathing as above and the user registration settings - (spaces left for you to complete) obviously you will need to put your own legal details in there.

Thanks `Felix`!
better late then never right?
