I don't know how many people if any have downloaded my setup, but if you have, has there been any probs? or do you have any recommendations?. I just noticed looking through the RunAVP script that when the update function is run it reads a reg key that I have added so it won't work for anyone else because this sets the destination for the virus database files, I'll have a look at improving it if people are using it, but don't know how many people would have ISTool or Inno Setup to compile it.

You can make a key file from your activation code Here. You can then download the key file or get it e-mailed to you.

I have repacked InstallRites setup routine and made an Inno installer as the original had no way of doing a silent install and an AutoIt script would have been messy. There are a few settings added :- 1. The help wizard is not shown on program startup. 2. Only C:\ drive is scanned by default. 3. HKEY_USERS is not scanned. 4. The help file for InstallWatch is added as the InstallRite help file is a bit lame and keeps asking for it. Install options :- /verysilent - Installs silently. /noicons - Won't install any Start Menu icons. /tasks="QuickLaunch" - Adds a Quick Launch shortcut. /group="Your group name here" - To add the shortcuts to a different folder than the default.

Thanks Malarky, as long as the main exe stays similar it should be OK for a while

I have managed to find a way to get the stamp value from the exe and the AutoIt script works with the latest version. If you want to register it just add your key code to the script file, if the program is in trial mode the settings are reset anyway. Install.au3

These are the only changes I make to the custom.ini in the PDVDBD folder HasCDKEY=1 CDKEY=Put yours here WebURL= RichVideo=0 GoogleToolbar=0 UI_NonTrial=0 and use this iss file to install and it install silently without the readme file at the end. setup.iss

No Probs, we just have to find a way to do it automatically, had a quick look yesterday at a few versions and the stamp value is at different offsets in the exe so it may be tricky to find the value

I struggled with this one as well for a while, I used to just install the prog and export the reg entry with the stamp value, its always the same for the program version you install. I finally found the string whilst looking at the properties for the main exe under the comments section, now I have an AutoIt script that installes the program and gets the comments value from the exe. It has worked about 99% of the time, v6.1.0.0 has the comments value but when the program is installed the number is different Stamp value = 20061226214244 comments value is 20061226214240. If you open the main exe with WinHex and search for the stamp value you can find it, so maybe the programmers set the comments value wrong.The only other sure way is to some how use AutoIt to search for the string if it is always at the same address but that is above me. If I get some free time I may have a look and do some reading unless someone knows how to read the hex values. ; Don't show a tray icon. #NoTrayIcon Dim $RegKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SlySoft\AnyDVD\Settings" ; Install the program. RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\setup.exe /S") ; Delete the key to stop AnyDVD running at Windows Start Up. RegDelete("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "AnyDVD") ; Set the default region to Europe. RegWrite($RegKey, "Code", "REG_DWORD", "2") ; Don't check for updates. RegWrite($RegKey, "CheckUpdate", "REG_DWORD", "0") ; Set the language locale to English. RegWrite($RegKey, "Locale", "REG_SZ", "en") ; Set the language locale to English. ;RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SlySoft\AnyDVD\Key", "Key", "REG_SZ", "") ; Write the "Stamp" value to make the settings stick. RegWrite($RegKey, "Stamp", "REG_SZ", FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files\SlySoft\AnyDVD\AnyDVD.exe", "Comments")) ; Remove the Desktop Icon. FileDelete(@DesktopCommonDir & "\AnyDVD.lnk") ; Remove the Register AnyDVD icon from Start Menu Programs folder. FileDelete(@ProgramsCommonDir & "\SlySoft\AnyDVD\Register AnyDVD.lnk")

I'm very interested mateThanks OK here is my setup, its posted on my free web space so I don't get much, if I need space the files will be deleted. I'll try to explain the process and the exes, as you should be wary of running exes from folks you don't know. When building my uA disc I compile the kav.iss file using ISTool as this has Pre compilation steps, this first runs RunAVP.exe, this exe firstly deletes the old databases (If any) and backs up the new ones to the {commonappdata} folder, creating the directory structure if not already there, as well as my kav.cfg file, this is where I save my settings for the Trusted Zone and program settings, during installation Kav.msi checks for the existence of these files and if found doesn't install the versions in the msi file. The AutoIt source for the RunAVP.exe is included to check the contents of the exe and you can compile it to be sure its clean and does what I say it does. After the backup has finished, kav.iss then compiles and creates setup.exe, this I install with the /verysilent switch. When the install is finished, RunAVP.exe is run to display a dialog box counting down from 90 secs, there are two options, Abort and Run Now. This I do because I install KAV last and instead of using the shutdown.exe to reboot I wait 90 secs before running avp.exe and to allow my other settings to take. The Abort check box will close the dialog and not run avp.exe, Run Now will run it right away without waiting to finish, after 90 secs avp.exe is run and the computer is rebooted. When the computer reboots everything should be setup, the databases will be up to date and depending on how long it has been from build to install Kaspersky should not check for an update, you can open kav and check the updates date to see if the files were updated, it should also say that the last update time is unknown. As mentioned before in other posts when installed silently only the Basic configuration settings are loaded, if you use things like Registry Guard you will have to load your cfg file for the settings to be used, that is if you saved one. Package Kav.7z:- The archive contains 2 folders and 1 file :- 1. {app} - This is the folder containing the kav installer, mst file, runavp.exe, and the AutoIt script for the runavp.exe, you should also place your keyfile here if you want it to activate it during installation. 2. bmp - This folder contains the icon given to the exe on compilation and the bitmaps displayed during a non silent install. 3. kav.iss - This is the file used to create the final exe. You will need ISTool and Inno Setup to create it, use ISTool to compile the exe as it supports pre compilation steps and this is where the latest updates are copied before the final exe is created. Always use the kav.iss file to compile, if you extract Inno setups another iss file is created called install_script.iss this has the files listed that are contained in the exe but as they are always changing if you compile this script not all the files will be added and you may get errors as certain files are not found. Download, Was 50MB now 14.8MB, remove the compiled exe and the updated databases, figured if anyone was going to use it they would compile the script to have the latest files.

It won't work, when the main exe is run, hidden .sys files are checked for and if not there created in the Windows System dir, one is the KGyGaAvL.sys and the other one is a randon named file that is different with every Windows install, you could activate it, back up the sys files and the protexis reg entries and reinstall PSP on the same Windows install and it should be activated, if you reload Windows on the same machine those same files wont work I have tried.

Send me your key file and I will See my post above, I may post the Inno setup I use, minus the key file if anyone is interested, can't state that it will work for different languages but it works for the English, and WOW! 854 posts in a day lol.

You will need to install the program and register if first for the key to be created, then you can use it for your unattended install. Its not the username its a binary value of the name and serial you registered with.

To install silently use PowerISO35.exe /S to register, export the key value from here [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PowerISO] "USER"= and export it after installation.

Try this one [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\find]

It looks that way, I managed to blag a copy from PC World for free as a sweetner for buying a laptop, I suppose Corel have a right to protect their software but stopping me from using the program because I don't want services running all over the place is a bit drastic, its another example of hurting the folks who buy the software or blag it . I haven't found a legal way to register the program after a silent install which affects folks who do this sort of thing , adding services that don't really need to be there affects folks who like to slim Windows etc so what's the point in buying it?, may as well stick with v10 for the reasons you pointed out. or as I haven't noticed any probs with this version don't update.

Just a heads up, there is an update for PSPXI out, takes it to v11.11, it also adds another service called PSIService which is Protexis Licensing Service and the program wont run unless this service is running, another reason to stick with v10.

Have you edited SETUPLDR.BIN to point to your i386 folder?, do all the others installs use the same SetupSourcePath ?.

I think it depends on which version gets installed, the Blu-Ray or HD version, mine is always the Blu-Ray, I don't know whether the setup decides off the DVD drive or the computer spec such as DVD drive, GFX card (HD compliant), Monitor (HD compliant), CPU speed etc. I don't have a Blu-Ray DVD nor any HDCP compliant hardware so maybe the Blu-Ray version is a default for peasants like me . If you copy the sim files to the correct folder PDVDBD or PDVDHD dependant on which is going to be installed the install goes ok, providing the usual ini edits are applied, this has been my experience copying the files to the PDVDBD folder.

It seems a few attachments got lost during the forum update. re-upped

Have you tried rd /s /q "C:\Program Files\Online Services"

Thought I would kill a few brain cells cleaning it up. Changed format to INI (looks better in EditPad Pro or Notepad++) and moved the comments. Added a few that weren't there from the deploy.chm, only one left CreateComputerAccountInDomain file removed, see 5128's 1st post

Sweet, pity they didn't leave their key in like some folks do

Another home connection.

Nice, thanks, any ideas on how to rename them using vbs?
