Hi does anybody know the switch to silently install UltraISO.exe?

Currently I have this:

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "UltraISO v7.21 SR-2 ME" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\065 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\UltraISO\regultraiso.reg" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\065 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\UltraISO\setup.exe /s" /f

Also if its not too much to ask, I've looked around a little, how does one build their own MSI packages?

[EDIT] Also I checked Properties>Version and it says:

QUOTE

This installation was built with Inno Setup: http://www.innosetup.com

Use /VERYSILENT /SP-

(/silent works too)

then, if you want:

del "%UserProfile%\Desktop\UltraISO.lnk"
regedit /s "%cdrom%\install\UltraISO ME v7.21 SR2\ultraiso.reg"

contents of ultraiso.reg (to register it):

CODE

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EasyBoot Systems\UltraISO\5.0]
"UserName"="your_name_here"
"Registration"="whatever's_in_your_registry"

Did you even try to search?

Thanks alot!

btw of course I tried search

, I found someone else used a /silent switch for another inno setup. The only other thing I found related to UltraISO was a new version had been released. Im going to give this a try in a few.

Thanks Again

UltraISO encrypts the serial - and it is machine specific. So - good luck!

Yeah I tested in on VMware and it didnt work.
During RunOnceEx the Setup came up, I had to manually choose accept terms, install directory, etc. After it finished it didnt like the imported registry key.

What would be a good alternative, WinISO? I think they're almost the same.

WinISO works just fine. My start.cmd entries for WinISO are:

CODE

ECHO.
ECHO Installing WinISO 5.3.0.125
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Winiso\Winiso53.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-
start /wait regedit /s %systemdrive%\Install\Winiso\registerwiniso.reg

The switches work, it's the registration that doesn't.

As for alternatives, nothing's quite as good imho, especially for DVD images. As for the basic functions for CD handling, there's dozens of others.

WinISO registration works just fine on my cd. ULtraISO on the other hand is a different story.

Well the latest version 7.2.3.906 is NOT machine specific, but the registration serial number is still encrypted.
First, do a normal or /SAVEINF setup, run the program, enter registration information, export reg key, and then text edit reg key - preserving Language, UserName and Registration key names only. I tested my silent install on another machine and it works.

CODE

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EasyBoot Systems\UltraISO\5.0]
"Language"="1033"
"UserName"="XXXXX"
"Registration"="XXXXXXXXXXXX"

CODE

ECHO.
ECHO Installing UltraISO 7.x ME
START /WAIT %SystemDrive%\Install\UltraISO\uiso7_me.exe /DIR="%ProgramFiles%\UltraISO" /SP- /VERYSILENT
REGEDIT /S %SystemDrive%\Install\UltraISO\reg_uiso.reg

REM Optional. English language. Space recovered ~1.7MB.
RD /S /Q "%ProgramFiles%\UltraISO\lang"
DEL /Q "%ProgramFiles%\UltraISO\*.txt"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\UltraISO\UltraISO Online Order.LNK"
DEL /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\UltraISO\UltraISO R*.LNK"

guys, I've just slapped together this VBS script for entering the serial info after a silent install... install using silent switch then call this VBS afterwards...

CODE

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run ("C:\Progra~1\UltraISO\UltraISO.exe")
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys("{TAB}")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys(" ")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("xxUSERNAMExx")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("{TAB}")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("xxSERIAL PT 1xx")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("xxSERIAL PT 2xx")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("xxSERIAL PT 3xx")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("xxSERIAL PT 4xx")
WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys("{ENTER}")

this worked for me after the reg import method failed

Look at the bottom of this thread for the script(by NoLogic) that works great.

This seems to be working fine although I won't know for sure until I try this in a real unattended install.
