We are currently using the Custom Installation Wizard to create a transform file with all of our Office settings. Unfortunately I am unable to find anywhere where I can tell Excel to install all of the optional Add-ins during our silent installation. Currently we are installing these manually after installing Office by going into Excel and checking the "Analysis Toolpak", "Solver Add-in", etc. I'd like a way to enable these add-ins automatically during my silent Office 2003 setup. We are installing Office in the following way using our transform file created using the 2003 Custom Installation Wizard: "setuppro.exe" "TRANSFORMS=%INSTALLERDIR%\CTS-Office-2003SP2-FAC.MST" REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS /L*V %temp%\Off2003.log /qb- At one point we had tried using regshot to see what registry keys were changed when we enabled one of the add-ins. All this got us was for the check box to be checked in the Excel Add-in menu, but the add-in wasn't actually enabled in Excel (ie: it didn't show up under the "Tools - Solver" menu). Has anyone had any luck figuring out how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! --greg

I found a solution. If you set the LastLoginTime to "999999999999999999" (a date in the future), you'll never see the Google Toolbar installer screen: REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\RealNetworks\RealPlayer\6.0\Preferences\LastLoginTime /ve /t REG_SZ /d "999999999999999999" /f > NULL My entire RealPlayer install script is below: @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL SET INSTALLERPATH=\\apps-01\incoming\apps\RealPlayer v10.5 REM RealPlayer v10.5 REM For more information see: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=10228&hl= REM http://www.appdeploy.com/messageboards/tm.asp?m=8161&mpage=1‷ ECHO Installing RealPlayer v10.5....

I'm trying to do a silent install and tweaking of RealPlayer v10.5. I'm using the "realplayer10-5gold_bb.exe" install file. I've been able to get it to silently install and to configure my default settings automatically through a batch file, but am having a pain with the initial startup screen you get when launching RealPlayer. I am NOT able to bypass the initial "Google Toolbar and Google Desktop Search" screen. Following this screen is the user registration info (name, email address, etc). By just closing this window with the X in the corner I can bypass the whole user registration info and my RealPlayer is all pre-configured with all my particular settings. I'd like to get rid of this initial google toolbar installer screen. It seems as though if you set the "LastLoginTime" and "LastStartupVersion" to the same number (which looks like a UNIX timestamp to me), it seems to initially bypass the google toolbar installer and user registation screens and takes me right to the realplayer. Now the problem is that the LastLoginTime and LastStartupVersion numbers seem to need to be within 24hours of the system clock in order for it to work. Has anyone found a way to bypass this stupid Google toolbar installer screen and the user registration? RealPlayer alternative is not a solution. We need to be able to use the original RealPlayer software. Anyhelp would be GREATLY appreciated!

anyone able to find a true solution to this? i've made all the changes in all.js and firefox.js as well as prefs.js. None seem to have an effect. Is firefox even reading this options from the files?
