The last version of K-Lite Mega Codec Pack enables you to build an unattended install much easier than the previous ones.

Download here : K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.31

Just type:

CODE

klmcodec131.exe -MakeUnattended

and you'll get the Unattended Install Maker.

QUOTE

Instructions:
Creating unattended setup
Step 1:
Run this wizard.
Select those components and tasks that you want to have in your unattended install.
A file called klmcp.ini will be created in the same directory as the installer.
Note: At the moment the installer will use the default tasks instead of the ones you selected.
This behaviour will be fixed in a future version.

Step 2 (optional):
If you want to install into a directory other than the default one, then you must edit the klmcp.ini file.
Open the ini file with Notepad or with another text-editor.
Remove the semicolon that is in front of Dir= and change the path to a custom one.
Running unattended setup

Step 3:
Make sure the installer and the klmcp.ini file are in the same directory.
Run the installer with the following command-line parameters:
/verysilent /LoadInf=".\klmcp.ini"

Step 4 (optional):
It is possible to transform the unattended setup into a single executable. All you need is WinRAR.
Add both the installer (e.g. klmcodec131.exe) and the klmcp.ini file to a new archive. Use the following settings:
General tab, Compression method > Store
General tab, Archiving Options > Create SFX archive
Comment tab, Enter a comment manually >
Setup=klmcodec131.exe /silent /LoadInf=".\klmcp.ini"
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

Have fun.

Is'nt this the same as the old /saveinf ?

2 differences with the old /saveinf (but the end file is the same):
- You don't have to install the codec pack to get the inf.
- You don't have to edit the inf file to delete categories (video, audio, real, quicktime...)

K-Lite Codec Pack
K-Lite Mega Codec Pack

The mega codec pack includes the k-lite codec pack and quicktime/real alternative. The reason for the different versions is, that they didn't start making the mega codec pack till later.

Sorry, misread your original statement. To answer this one...

The k-litecodecpack.com is simply an older version. It was a site set up by someone to make money off the hard work of others. There were a couple sites just like it when k-lite was popular, and one for suprnova, if you typed it incorrectly.

@EdGaR

What doesn't work about it?

When I type the following under run...

CODE

klmcodec131.exe -MakeUnattended

... It works fine.

I looks like the standard setup starts, but when you press next, you will see it is different.

EdGaR doesn't realize that one must browse to the directory in which the file is located, whilst using the command prompt to do so.

What do you mean with "nothing" did you get an error? Is there a wizard loaded? What exactly do yo mean?

I just tested it, and it works for me

@maniaq

I don't know, I think not because it is not in the changelog

This switch ONLY works for K-Lite MEGA Codec Pack (I mean with Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative included).

Sorry if I'm asking here however does somebody knows if I need to install mpeg2 mpeg2 decoder on windows xp?

Also what about the mp3 encoder/decoder included in the pack: are they better than windows ones?

and last but not last

are all those ac3 codecs needed? do they do decode the same thing or are they used for different kind of files? (I saw that one is associated to the 3vix codec but what about the others?)

Thanks in advance

Maybe there is someone in this board who knows a lot about codecs, but I think you should try asking on K-Lite board (perhaps your answer is already there) :
http://www.codecs.ipbfree.com/
Website (useful for new releases and changelogs) : http://www.codecguide.com/
Hope this will help you.

You don't need to install codecs to have silent.inf
You just need to write down couple lines of code for silent.inf to create it yourself and put all your requirements into. That's it, not more that 1 min of work.
