Well! Now, you can download my MSI for Winamp 5.03a. I hope you like it. Here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=20675&st=0& However, I can post the instructions here in case anyone needs them. Despite too long to post, I'll find a simple way for that. Just let me know you want them.

2- Getting the MSI At the bottom of this post, download MSI1.cab (125 KB) and put it in one place with MSI2.cab you've downloaded from above. Right-click MSI1.cab and "Extract Here" with WinRAR. You should have Winamp.rar file. Right-click Winamp.rar and "Extract Here" with WinRAR. You should have Winamp.msi extracted into the same directory. Store Winamp.msi along with Winamp1.cab from above as they're both needed for installing Winamp5.03a. Delete all objects you've used, other than Winamp1.cab and Winamp.msi, as they are no longer needed. >> Command line switches I built command line switches on the assumption that most users need the most features. So, we use fewer switches if we want to exclude fewer features. To exclude a feature or a sub-feature, type ?=0 or ??=0 according to its assigned symbol (switch). Example 1: (exclude Video File Support feature and its sub-features) start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Winamp\Winamp.msi V=0 /qn Example 2: (exclude Nullsoft Video sub-feature only) start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Winamp\Winamp.msi VN=0 /qn Example 3: (exclude Winamp Agent + Modern Skin Support + Video File Support) start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Winamp\Winamp.msi G=0 M=0 V=0 /qn Example 4: (exclude nothing) start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Winamp\Winamp.msi /qn To register for the Pro version, add K and N switches to your command line: K=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX N=YourName OR N="Your Name" >> Assigned Symbols Audio File Support A - Windows Media Audio (WMA) AA - MIDI AM - MOD/XM/S3M/IT AD - OGG Vorbis Playback AG - AAC encoding AC - MP3 encoding A3 - MP4 support A4 - CD playback and extraction AP - CDDB for recognizing CDs AB - Sonic Ripping/Burning support AS - WAV/VOC/AU/AIFF AW Extra Audio Output/Effect Support E - Signal Processor Studio ES - Support for writing WAV files EW - DirectSound output support ED Modern Skin Support M User Interface Extensions U - Golbal Hotkeys UK - Jump to file UJ Video File Support V - Nullsoft Video (NSV) VN - AVI/MPG/ASF VA Visualization Z - Advanced Visualization Studio ZA - MilkDrop ZM - Nullsoft Tiny Fullscreen ZT Winamp Agent G Winamp Library L Hoping my share is of any help, please feel free to comment or report what you want. MSI1.cab

Winamp 5.03a - in two minutes Well! So far, this is the only way I can share my MSI for Winamp. If you are interested in getting Winamp this way, then make your own CAB file as mentioned below. Next, you download my MSI and use both MSI+CAB to install Winamp silently. All features of Winamp are available on the command line as well as in attended mode. Registration is also available on command line. 1- Creating the CAB 1- Download Winamp 5.03a from here, if you haven't already done so. 2- Install Winamp with all of its features and sub-features,i.e., in "Full" mode. Go to C:\Program Files\Winamp\ and open the file "winamp.m3u" in notepad, then delete its contents except the first line "#EXTM3U". Save changes and close "winamp.m3u". 3- Copy the whole folder of installed Winamp into drive C, so it looks this way: C:\Winamp. 4- At the bottom of this post, download the file prepare.rar (93 KB), then extract it into drive C, too. You should have these files extracted: 1- C:\precab.cmd ----> run this file first 2- C:\ren.cmd ----> run this file second 3- C:\cab.cmd ----> run this file third 4- C:\winamp.ddf ----> this file is needed by cab.cmd 5- C:\MSI2.cab ----> keep this file as we'll need it later After you finish running the first three cmd files, a folder named "disk1" (C:\disk1) is created. Open "disk1" folder, take out "Winamp1.cab", and store it wherever you want. Please be informed that each cmd file ends with PAUSE and EXIT commands. So, you need to "press any key to continue..." before running the next cmd file. Now that you have had Winamp1.cab, continue reading the next post for how to get Winamp.msi, too. prepare.rar

From my previous experiences with InstallRite (Version 2.5c) and other setup capturing utilities, I'd like to tell you something: 1- I can't rely on them completely for creating installation kits. So, I should always need to repackage a captured program manually and from scratch. 2- I use them only, I say only, to gather all information needed for manual repackaging. 3- I can, safely, rely on them to create installation kits for little programs, like Ad-aware, which has about 20 files or less, all in one location. For InstallRite, there's a severe limitation on the number of directories you can ignore during a capture process. By default, it ignores nothing, but you can add directories to ignore. The number is limited to 20 directories only! For WinINSTALL LE (free, too), 85 directories and file types + 251 registry keys are ignored by default. Still, you can add more, yourself! However, I won't talk about WinINSTALL on a thread dedicated to InstallRite. But I can share some of my experience with InstallRite, so you can benefit. An easier method to add directories to your ignore list is to create a reg file and put the 20 directories in it in the format shown below. Following is a registry file that adds suggested 13 directories to the ignore list along with some good settings. You can complete the list to 20 if you wish. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Epsilon Squared\IW Engine\Settings] "ShowHelpOnStartup"="FALSE" "RunInStartup"="FALSE" "RunInSystemTray"="TRUE" "DisplayFileSizeInK"="TRUE" "DetectSetupPrograms"="FALSE" "Texture"="(none)" "FilePatternToIgnore_00"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Cookies" "FilePatternToIgnore_01"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Favorites" "FilePatternToIgnore_02"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Local Settings\\History" "FilePatternToIgnore_03"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Local Settings\\Temp" "FilePatternToIgnore_04"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Local Settings\\Temporary Internet Files" "FilePatternToIgnore_05"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Favorites" "FilePatternToIgnore_06"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Cookies" "FilePatternToIgnore_07"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Favorites" "FilePatternToIgnore_08"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Local Settings\\History" "FilePatternToIgnore_09"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Local Settings\\Temp" "FilePatternToIgnore_10"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Local Settings\\Temporary Internet Files" "FilePatternToIgnore_11"="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Default User\\Recent" "FilePatternToIgnore_12"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Temp" A last word, open your task manager before capturing and close all applications running in the background.

Despite a good note from you, no path next to "start /wait" had spaces in all posts I've seen on this forum! People type this: start /wait "%systemdrive%\Install\appname\app.exe" /switch With or without quotes, no difference. Thank you for your contribution.

To know the version, install it first, then go to: Help --> About BlackICE. The version is what's written next to the word "Product".

Thanks. This is what peolpe talked about here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=15510 and here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=14462&hl=

Well! I had a problem about AP, not iss. iss file worked fine for me. As mediatx said here, BI can be configured well via ini files, but not for installation as I think. However, I can give you my iss, but what version do you use?

pauluea If you make a SFX with WinRAR and include those switches, it should work. I tested it under a batch file. edmoncu I never used autoit. But, is it right to use "regedit.exe" instead of "regedit" in your scripts? I mean, does it always work?

You get it from Winzip folder after you install it. However, you'll need to pack the whole folder of installed Winzip, not only winzip32.exe, and your original installer isn't needed, then.

The only pitfall of a SFX (self-extracting archive ) is that you can't uninstall ad-aware, unless you'd delete its folder. Have you tried any of the three methods listed here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16094&st=0

And this is, exactly, the way I think.

Well! I've already made mine tonight, just three hours ago. But, for perfection, it took two hours not 10 minutes! I tested it and everything went well. Still, I'm not satisfied with its organization. It needs grouping components into features, however. But, I can't share it because I'm not permitted to do so. This is why I said that I'd post instructions. Will you be annoyed of that, really? I know you took this project seriously. Okay, I won't post them if you'd misunderstand me again! What would you say?

Create your own MSI for Winamp ..... Coming Soooooon ..... Now it's ready here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=20675&st=0 However, I can post the instructions here in case anyone needs them. Despite too long to post, I'll find a simple way for that. Just let me know you want them.

Alright! Thanks, Mac, Alanoll, and everybody. I'll work parallel to Alanoll and will post instructions on making an MSI for Winamp. This should be a competition for the best, not for struggle. I say it in advance. The purpose is helping others, only. If anybody is interested in this, please consider visiting this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=17365&st=120

Well! Now, you are good. No need to see a doctor. And, if you really appreciate laughing, you'd see that I was kidding all the way. Just, relax and read my posts carefully. Alright?

?yea who do u think u are? Do u think I give a **** about u? (no i've stopped doing further enhancements cause i don't have time, and this is what happens) There u have it, a chance for u to start everything from the beginning.. I'm not trying to win any prizes. I merely did this msi for myself. I did it bc ppl were asking for it, and I haven't seen anyone else wanting to do it. I knew how to do, what to do so I started. I don't need any ppl like u to be bossing and bitching about what I do. if u cannot appriciate anything that I do don't talk to me don't pm me, don't talk about me. I've spent countless hours on this. lock it/ delete it/ ban me/ whatever!......... Well! You need to erase this one, too. Or, you'd better see a doctor.

Jazz If you look at "Add or Remove Programs", you'll find two links for uninstalling Winamp, in addition to those two in Start menu. This was reported by another member. More strange, one of them indicates that Winamp occupies 13.080 MB on your hard disk, and the other indicates 11.720 MB!!! So, do I have two Winamps? Plus, there was a family size complaint about crashing problems. "jish releashe crashesh", grandpa said.

Well! People won't stop, of course, untill it works fine. I didn't know that the previous release crashes! This is a newly reported bug. If there are four shortcuts to uninstall Winamp, error messages show on my desktop when I wanted to listen to Shakira , launch link didn't work, library needs to be deleted, MSP file fix, and ...., then what works?

Execuse me, I can't get what you said. Was the problem because of files properties or something else?

Be patient, Mac! Or, how can you develop your software? Feedback is the most thing you need. Or you want peolpe to say that Mac can't. After these complaints, I see quarter is too much. How did you do at school? A, B, C, or what?

muslim When you are in the "Application Switches" forum, arrange topics by "topic title" and in ascending order. So, you can find your apps easily.

Well! Then, the solution is easy: we delete gen_ml.dll from Winamp folder after installation.

Alright. I can buy it for 25 cents, so that people can ask you: Who gave you quarter?

Alright, Alanoll! Did Mac give into you, too? Well, did it last a while, or gave errors on the first use?
