[Difference in location desktop/startmenu XP and vista]

I'm using autoit now because you can do much more with this. I'm trying to make shortcuts on the desktop and start menu that work on xp as well as on vista. With autoit this isn't difficult to do.

[Difference in location desktop/startmenu XP and vista]

I'm trying to use this as a sfx script in winrar. With autoit script you can use :

@DesktopCommonDir and @ProgramsDir which gives the path of the desktop and startmenu. Is there in the sfx script such a command?

The command %AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs in sfx script won't work on all windows versions. The dutch version of xp has a different path name. The autoit script does work on all windows versions.

[Difference in location desktop/startmenu XP and vista]

What is the difference in folder location for the desktop and startmenu between XP an Vista.

Is it possible to copy the shortcuts to the startmenu for xp as well as for vista with a command like:

"%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs"

Or will this only work for vista ?

I want to make a silent installation that works on both xp and vista.

[Making Nero 8 a silent install]

run the setup file first and dont install.

go to temp dir and copy the NERO13820 dir somewhere.

put this cmd file inside NERO13820 dir and run it.

neroinstall.cmd

@echo off
title Nero 8.1.2.0
echo.

if /passive used instead of /qb!, it asks for restart.

finally, use 7zip or winrar to create installer and repack to the normal size.

[silently install reg key]

I've spend the whole afternoon trying to find the answer but was confused by all the different ways of making a silent installation. One only uses the WPI application, the other uses autoit script and the other uses the rar sfx script. I was hoping that someone could explain the difference to me. For the beginning user of the silent installation this forum isn't always that clear.

But if it isn't allowed to post so many questions on this forum i will use this site for viewing purpose only in the future.

I did look for it but could not find the solution mentioned above.

[silent install for powerdvd 7]

I'm trying to make a silent install for the program powerdvd 7. USSF gives the following solution which i don't understand. Does anyone know how to do this??

message:

Unpack the monolith setup file with UniExtract or other extractor.

The unpack archive should be either .CAB based or .MSI based.

Next, only for .CAB based:

Record an installation with this

command:%wpipath%\install\apps\grafisch\cyberlink.powerdvd.ultra.deluxe.v7.3.2911\setup /r /f1"x:\setup.iss"

Now you can perform a silent installation with the iss

file:%wpipath%\install\apps\grafisch\cyberlink.powerdvd.ultra.deluxe.v7.3.2911\setup /s /f1"x:\setup.iss"

next, only for .msi based:

msiexec.exe /i setup.mis /qb

I have extracted the setup file, but i don't know how to record an installation.
