How do I get this to silently install? I'm 100% it uses NSIS and I followed that guide. It opened up the install but didn't do it silently and I had to set the options for it.

So far I got:



The registering part works (doesn't give me any errors, haven't checked if it's regged yet since CloneCD won't install).

With what I have given above, it just opens up the install and the "/s", which was suggested in the guide, didn't do anything.

I followed this: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/nsis.htm

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks .

By the way, if it matters, I'm doing an SP1a unattended CD, not SP2.

Maybe the screen is hidden, but afaik, it asks to reboot, and the only way to install it right now is to use AutoIt or repackaging it... Search, you'll see the CloneCD subject has been brought up before.

I didn't find anything useful in the search. I found 3 topics, 1 was mine.

The one had CloneCD 6 but had the exact same line of code as me, which didn't work.

The other one was the AutoIt thread, but I have no idea what AutoIt is. In that thread it didn't tell you what it was and just gave scripts, which I have no idea what to do with them.

The first version to support a silent install was V5.0.2.2 with the /S switch. See
URL=http://www.afterdawn.com/software/version_history/clonecd.cfm for details. Just get that version or any subsequent one, otherwise without a good understanding of AutoIT (which you admit you aint got) - you will struggle unnecessarily. HTH

I do not like the newer versions. They were all poopy and nothing to my liking. Ever since SlySoft took over they have been producing crap. v4.2.0.2 is the latest version that I know of that was made by ElbySoft.

Is there guides out there on AutoIt? I'm willing to learn it and I'm a pretty good learner. I'm not computer illeterate so any guide should do.

Thanks for everyone's posts so far .

edit: Was just looking at the URL and found this:



Looks like I got the latest of which was the good ones (in my opinion). Any guides ?

Look through the Autoit guides by Nologic for a script you can modify by downloading Autoit3 & reading. I think you will have some trouble testing your installation as it will install properly but will probably have trouble registering? I seem to think the registration info extracted is encrypted & machine specific good luck & let us know of ya progress.

Dang it looks pretty confusing that AutoIt. I'll probably try this again all next weekend when I have 3 days to fool around with it and not 1.

From what I saw, I'm going to need those 3 days. In the meantime I'll gather information about AutoIt and maybe might find a starter's guide that walks you through a basic script somewhere on the net.

Thanks.
