ok i'm sorry, your suggestion didn't work either but I do have some ideas I am going to test now. I will find the other forum and post there or pm if it doesn't work.

ok thanks! I do keep RunOnceEx as batch file... and have autoit3.exe in the system32 folder. now I have used your script like this... would this work? #Region - Setup variables Dim $cddrive FindCD(); <---------------------------------------------- Calls FindCD Function Dim $installapps = $cddrive & "\installapps" #EndRegion ;;; Function below finds CD letter. Func FindCD() Local $drvs, $i $drvs = DriveGetDrive("CDROM") If Not @error Then For $i = 1 To $drvs[0] If DriveStatus($drvs[$i] & "\") = "READY" Then If FileExists($drvs[$i] & "\WIN51") Then $cddrive = $drvs[$i] EndIf EndIf Next EndIf EndFunc Run(@ScriptDir & "\autogk.exe") But this doesn't work: it doesn't even spin the CD... so it isn't searching for the autogk.exe file.. and I get this error: Line 23 Run(@ScriptDir & "\autogk.exe") Error: Unable to execute the external program systen cannot find the file.. Like I said.. it isnt even searching my CD.. so perhaps the FindCD function isn't working?

it's so easy... what are you trying to do Dankbud2o?

for installing a program (with AutoIt) from RunOnceEx I use this: REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 4 /D "autoit3 "%CDDRIVE%InstallApps\InstallSettings\install-autogk.au3"" /fthis works fine but I have to put the installer of the program in C:\programsetup.exe, otherwise it doesnt work.. the problem I'm trying to explain is... I can't get the script to run the installer from the CD! this works (in the au3 file): Run("C:\AutoGordianKnot.1.60.Setup.exe") this does not: Run("%CDDRIVE%\AutoGordianKnot.1.60.Setup.exe") How do you run an installer from cddrive? if you want it to be a uniform cd... it must work on all systems also if the cddriveletter is different... for RunOnceEx this is the trick: for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\win51ip.SP2 set CDDRIVE=%%i:\ is there also something like this for AutoIt?

alright... did it with AutoIT anyway.. PREPARING: make sure you have "AutoIt3.exe" in your \XPCD\$OEM$\$$\system32 folder. Download AutoGK (see full stable releases on the official site, 'full package') and the AutoGK update (see Main/latest releases) (its a beta). AutoGordianKnot.1.60.Setup.exe AutoGordianKnot.1.89.beta.Update.exe put these 2 files in your \XPCD\$OEM$\$1 folder. save the following as .au3 files (just create a new textfile and save it with this extension: install autogk.au3: Run("C:\AutoGordianKnot.1.60.Setup.exe") WinWaitActive( "Auto Gordian Knot 1.60 Setup", "" ) Send("!N") Send("!A") Send("V") Send("V") Send("{SPACE}") Send("A") Send("{SPACE}") Send("X") Send("{SPACE}") Send("!N") Send("!I") WinWaitActive( "Auto Gordian Knot 1.60 Setup", "Completing the Auto Gordian Knot 1.60 Setup Wizard" ) Send("!F") install autogkupdate.au3: Run("C:\AutoGordianKnot.1.89.beta.Update.exe") WinWaitActive( "Auto Gordian Knot 1.89 beta Update", "Auto Gordian Knot 1.89 beta Setup Wizard" ) Send("!N") Send("!A") Send("!A") Send("X") Send("{SPACE}") Send("!N") Send("!I") WinWaitActive( "Auto Gordian Knot 1.89 beta Update", "Completing the Auto Gordian Knot 1.89 beta Setup Wizard" ) Send("!F") now use this in your RunOnceEx: REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "AutoGK and more " /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%CDDRIVE%InstallApps\DVDDecrypter.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 2 /D "%CDDRIVE%InstallApps\AviSynth.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 3 /D "%CDDRIVE%InstallApps\XviD.exe /silent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 4 /D "autoit3 "%CDDRIVE%InstallApps\InstallSettings\install-autogk.au3"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 5 /D "autoit3 "%CDDRIVE%InstallApps\InstallSettings\install-autogkupdate.au3"" /f As you can see, XviD and AviSynth have to be installed seperatly! And I now see I have forgotten about VobSub... ofcourse you have to install VobSub also! NOTES: Avisynth can be found by google; XviD can be found like this: start AutoGordianKnot.1.89.beta.Update.exe, once the Xvid installer begins (it asks for language selection) go to Documents & Settings\NAME\Local settings\TEMP\ in this folder you will find something like Xvid2004.exe copy that to your XPCD folder. don't know about Vobsub... google for VobSub 2.23 and find the silent switch... add it to your RunOnce. DONE!

I would recommend Raxco Perfectdisk instead of O&O and also InstantCopy instead of DVDShrink (even DVD2One is better then DVDShrink). best way to copy a DVD9 to DVD5 is however by Encoding instead of Transcoding (like dvdshrnk/dvd2one etc. do) with DVD2DVD-R (uses CCE encoder) if you want Movie only or DVDrebuilder (uses CCE encoder) if you want full dvd.

Hi there... as you might know... AutoGK installer starts up several other installers for utilities that it needs... one of them for instance is Xvid codec... wich contains a checkbox (selected by default) where you can select if you want it to play your xvid/divx files as well... ofcourse we don't.. since we have ffdshow installed and this is better (uses less resources when playing). all these things make it very difficult to install AutoGK silently... ofcourse AutoIT could do the trick... but it isn't really nice if you have all sorts of installer screens popping up during your nice clean RunOnceEx... So... does anyone have a genious idea?

WOOOW I've been trying to modify a MSI file... so that it would install for all users instead of current user... managed to set "install for everyone" checked as default (radiobutton) instead of "install for current user". But when installing silently... it still installs for current user only... AutoIt would be the solution! (i think..) But I have absolutely no experience with this... going to try.. if interested could anyone give me a hand? I am talking about the OggCodecs: http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/ these codecs are the most up to date (compared to Tobias oggDS, wich date from 2002) it installs Ogg codecs and Speex/Theora... (with FFDShow, Real&Quicktime Alt. I think you would have a very complete system... without codecpacks). It is a MSI installer: http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/oggcodecs_XP_0.68.8333.zip EDIT: DONE! and it works perfectly... woow this is really great! Now something more serious for wich I really need some help.. trying to create a script that runs the Windows Product Activation... it has to activate by internet ofcourse... problem is... I cannot get it to wait for the activation screen to finish loading (takes up a second) and then send the keys.. I have this: Run("C:\Activeren.exe") WinWaitActive( "Windows activeren", "ObShellMainPane" ) Send("!I") Send("!D") where 'activeren.exe is no more then a .cmd file that starts up the activation window. !I = like ALT+i this selects "activate through internet" !C = continue (I have dutch version... .so its actually ALT+D, but I suppose its ALT+C for english) the problem is the WinWaitActive... but I don't know what else to put there... AutoIT Window Spy doesn't give much more info...

oooh djees... I posted a while ago an error "no burners found".. Now I found out it has nothing to do with the msi or winamp itself.. I use the CDreader plugin from Copah... thats the problem... you need to use the in_cdda plugin wich is always standardly included in winamp... otherwise you won't have burner capabilities. Ofcourse if you don't use pro it doesn't matter. btw the reason problem was solved after (silent) reinstall: the in_cdda plugin is copied to the winamp folder... My runonceex deleted this file and placed the alternative plugin... so sorry for that. and thanks for the new great build!

Does anyone else has the problem not being able to burn cds? "no burners found". after reinstall (even if I do this silently exactly with runonceex) it does find my burner.

OHH! No I don't download trial version! download from here: http://www.kaspersky.com/productupdates place your .key file in the same dir as the downloaded "kav5.0.227_personalen.exe" and run it from there using /s (or /S) Works PERFECTLY! (If you don't have a key... it will install but will ask (after a reboot I think) for a key file otherwise antivirus will be disabled untill you specify a keyfile...)

Actually.... never tested without those keys... so maybe they are not necessary

I have a problem... I cannot burn cds... it says, when I click burn, in the playlist section of Library: (no burners found) Also, when I click (in Library) View>Devices I don't see any cddrives... but this list: Now Playing Local Media Playlist Streaming media Recent Items Bookmarks wich are the categories of Media Library... I've read somewhere it had to do with sp2??? does anyone now how to solve this?

huh I don't understand all these problems... I download (from 'product downloads') Kav Personal, place it in the folder: XPCD\InstallApps\antivirus\kav.exe and also place the .key file there: XPCD\InstallApps\antivirus\kav.key Now just use /s switch (or /S dunnow)... Kav will automatically use the key(s) located in the same dir as the installer! It works for me like this since the first 5.0 version... Kav is one of the easiest silent installations! PS: the .key file doesn't have to be renamed to 'kav.key' or something... any name will do as long as it has the correct extension and is a correct key.

for English you don't need that key at all... only if you want dutch language & have the langpack installed... it was just to show an example of the regfile you need when integrating any languagepack

This great method has been optimized and automated! Check this topic: Nero Custom Installation Builder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi there.. I've found a NEW (very fast) method to create a silent STRIPPED install of Nero, no need for zero-byte files!: Make sure you have the following files in $OEM$\$$\System32: 7za.exe cmdow.exe shortcut.exe (only need this one if you want this package to create shortcuts) 1. Download nero, start installer and copy the contents of RARSFX0 in your \Documents and Settings\profile\Local Settings\Temp to a new folder (Nerosilent for example). 2. Now, in this folder, rename SYSTEM to system32, Common Files to 'Ahead'. Create 3 folders, and place the renamed folders as shown: Nerosilent\Windows\System32 Nerosilent\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead, 3. Create a new folder 'Ahead' in Nerosilent\Program Files Now copy ONLY the folders you want to be installed to this 'Ahead' folder: Nero Nero Toolkit CoverDesigner ImageDrive (recommended for removal if you don't need virtual cd drives) Nero BackitUp (100% recommended for removal!) Nero StartSmart (100% recommended for removal!) Nero Soundtrax (100% recommended for removal!) Nero Wave Editor (100% recommended for removal!) Delete all other files folders (folders 'Setup', 'WMPBurn', 'Redist' and the files Setup.exe setup.cfg, VersionInfo.txt) they are not part of the Nero program and be deleted. 5. You can copy paste the items of your languagepack to the folders. Also you can DELETE the german and Japanese languagefiles (dunnow why but they are there)! (search for files with DEU/JPN in the name...) 6. Now select Windows and Program files and create a 7zip file (for example Nero.7z). 7. Use the following installnero.cmd and regfile for installing: cmdow @ /HID 7za x -y -o%systemdrive% %cdrom%install\Nero\Nero.7z reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ahead\Shared" /v "AudioPlugIn" /d "%CommonProgramFiles%\Ahead\AudioPlugins" /f reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ahead\Shared" /v "DriveLocker" /d "%CommonProgramFiles%\Ahead\Lib\DriveLocker.dll" /f reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ahead\Shared" /v "Lib" /d "%CommonProgramFiles%\Ahead\Lib" /f regsvr32.exe /S %cdrom%install\Nero\register.reg EXIT in register.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;following key is for Dutch languagepack only, don't use it if you want English or modify ;if you use different language. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\General] "RegisteredTypesNeroLanguage"="Dutch" "Language"="NLD,ENG" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info] "Serial6"="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Recorder] "ShowSingleRecorderSpeed"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "NeroFilterCheck"=- OPTIONAL: If you want shortcuts, add this to the .cmd file: md "%UserProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Nero Burning Rom" shortcut /a:c /f:"%UserProfile%\Bureaublad\Nero Express.lnk" /t:"%programfiles%\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe" /p:"/w" /i:"%programfiles%\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe,1" shortcut /a:c /f:"%UserProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Nero Burning Rom\Nero Express.lnk" /t:"%programfiles%\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe" /p:"/w" /i:"%programfiles%\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe,1" shortcut /a:c /f:"%UserProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Nero Burning Rom\Nero Burning Rom.lnk" /t:"%programfiles%\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe" shortcut /a:c /f:"%UserProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Nero Burning Rom\Nero CD Speed.lnk" /t:"%programfiles%\Nero Burning ROM\Nero Toolkit\cdspeed.exe" shortcut /a:c /f:"%UserProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Nero Burning Rom\Nero DriveSpeed.lnk" /t:"%programfiles%\Nero Burning ROM\Nero Toolkit\drivespeed.exe" shortcut /a:c /f:"%UserProfile%\Menu Start\Programma's\Nero Burning Rom\Nero InfoTool.lnk" /t:"%programfiles%\Nero Burning ROM\Nero Toolkit\infotool.exe" Ofcourse, as you can see this only creates the shortcuts for Nero Express and the Nero Tools... you can easily edit to create more... I don't use this at all... have an entire modified All Users\Menu Start rar SFX containing my shortcuts ENJOY! pros: No unused unneccesary 0byte files you have to create... also no unneeded 0bytefiles/folders on the harddisk... and you decide exactly what parts of Nero you want... no script to modify... also can be used for the 2nd pack. takes about 5-10minutes first time (7z creation takes longer) Credits to hp38user in the dutch forums...

O I found a regtweak in the firstpost file, was searching sooo long for this, but it doesn't seem to have any effect! ;List-view in Explorer [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams] "Settings"=hex:09,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,e0,a5,1f,0e,73,35,cf,11,ae,\ 69,08,00,2b,2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,43,00,00,00

how do I get GETCD to work?

could you please add support for Broadcom chipsets? it is used in ASUS WL-100g and Linksys PCMCIA cards. drivers are at the Asus and Linksys site but I know for the Asus card, the newest driver is at the Broadcom site: BCM4401 Drivers: http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php

all the original developers of Winamp have left AOL, in november '04, but AOL will still continu to support Winamp, this means new features won't be added but bugs will be fixed! BTW Alanoll, if I use this regtweak, Winamp will be associated with Autoplay AudioCDs, no need for the user to check the checkbox perhaps it is an idea for the msi? it's not really neccessary, cos everyone who wants it can add this line to his regtweaks.reg file: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AudioCD\shell\play\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Winamp\\winamp.exe\" %1" "Winamp_Back"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe\" /prefetch:3 /device:AudioCD \"%L\"" Also, I now know how to remove items in the popup window that appears when you insert a CD, asking you wich program to launch... If you don't use WMP for instance, you can remove it so that for example Winamp is the only choice you can make when you insert an AudioCD if someone is interested I'll put them here but it is perhaps bit offtopic here

evilvoice, where is the link? I am very interested but can't find this topic... would help if you post the link here. Also, I agree about what you say about the 0-byte method, there is always a risk when you delete items. I decided I don't want Soundtrax, WaveEditor, BackItUp and SmartStart (I use Nero Express), so I just removed the lines in his script so only the files related to all above are deleted... plugins and all other things I don't know about I keep (except for obvious things like WMPburning, never use Windows Mediaplayer burning, and EULA text files etc.). Then remove the lines so only 0bytefiles for the removed items are created and your done actually this is what I am going to do right now, nero 6.6.0.5 just finished downloading @fugg could you verify your scipt works fine if I just use the "replace" option in Notepad to replace 'nero6601' with 'nero6605' for nero 6.6.0.5 ? And also, now that I'm thinking, how is your method different from just installing Nero silent and afterwards use a .cmd file to delete the files/folders of the items that are unnecessary? ofcourse it saves some space on the cd/dvd... I guess thats the most important thing here.

does ANYONE knows what regtweak Nlite uses for 'set detailed view as default for Explorer'? I want to set list view as default... If I know Nlites regtweak perhaps I can use it to make my list view regtweak!

tested again, without modified winamp.ini file, it works fine now, also autoplay cds... so its not the msi. must be my mistake EDIT fixed already

@totoymola I saw you using: REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 2 /D "TASKKILL /F /IM iexplore.exe" /f I use this also but without /F I only use /IM What is the difference?

Uhm thats why I tested on a formatted system... I see last update 26dec, don't remember when I downloaded mine, but will download again. thanks EDIT: OK so everything seems to work... but there is still something not working correctly: (tested on formatted laptop!) when I create a new user (has admin rights), Winamp has not been set to autoplay audioCDs AND even if I select the checkbox in Winamp Options>Filetypes, after I restart Winamp the checkbox is unchecked (if I dont restart winamp and just open Options again it is also unchecked). So this only happens for all newly created users.... the first user, in wich all the programs (RunOnceEX) was installed, doesnt have this problem!! How strange!?
