only tried with GERMAN version!!! you need DAEMON-TOOLS installed! 1.) download iso file here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia-CD/Download 2.) run setup.exe from CD/ISO, then make a copy from installed directory (usually: "C:\Program Files\Digitale Bibliothek 4") and uninstall "Digibib4" again 3.) make folder Wikipedia and put following files inside: - wpcdiso.iso - Digibib4.chm (only if you want) - Digibib4.exe - AutoUpdate.exe (only if you want) - wikipedia.bat (see next point...) 4.) create batch file with following: ::-------------------- "%PROGRAMFILES%\D-Tools\Daemon.exe" -noicon -mount 0,"%~dp0%wpcdiso.iso" START /WAIT Digibib4.exe "%PROGRAMFILES%\D-Tools\Daemon.exe" -noicon -unmount 0 ::-------------------- 5.) download wikipedia-icon for your batch-file here: http://en.wikipedia.org/favicon.ico 6.) click on wikipedia.bat for offline wikiing... Explanation: I have to mount the image to make the viewer application to work. Digibib4.exe wants a CD-Rom or it will fail to start. so i mount the image with daemon tools call the viewer-application and unmount the image when closing the wiki-offline-viewer.

thx @chaos i do it this way now: ::--------------------------------------------------- 7z x "avwinsfx.exe" -aoa -o"%TEMP%" COPY setup.inf "%TEMP%\disk_1\setup.inf" CD /D "%TEMP%\disk_1" START /WAIT setup.exe /INF.\setup.inf CD .. RD /S /Q "%TEMP%\disk_1" ::--------------------------------------------------- 1.) download AntiVir-free 2.) check the "setup.inf" and change like "chaos" explained. comment this line: ;SourcePathDisk1=D:\INST\DISK_1 3.) get 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) 3.) use the batch above... all files are in the same directory: avwinsfx.exe, setup.bat, setup.inf i extract the file on command line with 7z (http://www.7-zip.org/). i'm sure there are other ways to unzip...i did it that way. (perhaps you wonder why i don't do this: START /WAIT setup.exe /INF"%TEMP%\disk_1\setup.inf" -> it doesn't work if you have spaces in your path. so i just copy the inf in the same dir...)

could you tell how you exactly did it? i tried this, but it doesn't work: net share myprofile=D:\myprofile /remark:"My Profiles Folder" net use \\COMPUTER\myprofile net user myAccountName /PROFILEPATH:\\COMPUTER\myprofile would be glad to get some help... thx

thanks but that doesn't help because i don't want to make a reg-file with all the keys in it. it's too much work. i found out an interesting thing. when i open the fonts in my batch file with fontview and taskkill fontview afterwards, the fonts are still in memory. but i don't know how long windows xp keeps the fonts in memory, perhaps until you do a restart? that's the batch for the temporary installation. for me it works at the moment (and no need for CMDOW): ::------------------------------ FOR /F "delims=;" %%a IN ('Dir .\Fonts /B /A-D-H-S /S') DO Start /MIN fontview %%a taskkill.exe /F /IM fontview.exe ::------------------------------ for the permanent installation it seems that windows does the registry keys itself. so just copying is enough. i just have sometimes a problem to uninstall the fonts afterwards. even with "DEL /F " i can't delete/access installed fonts anymore. probably this happens when they are in use by another application. so their are still some open questions...

I want to install fonts with a batch file without having to restart window and i would like to have two possibilities: a normal installation and a temporarly installation. because i often have to install quickly some fonts for a specific project, so i would like to have a fonts folder in every of my projects folders and a simple batch script that would do the installation. i don't want to install a typemanager. i have a solution yet, but it could probably be better - i'm not a batch scripting professional... for a temporarly font installation i use this batch-script: ::---------------------------------- FOR /F "delims=;" %%a IN ('Dir .\Fonts /B /A-D-H-S /S') DO CMDOW /RUN /HID fontview %%a ::---------------------------------- the script opens every font in every subfolder with windows-fontview. i used "cmdow"-tool (http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/) to hide the fontview window. if you open a font with fontview, the font is loaded into memory and you can use it in every application. i don't like this solution very much, because for every font i open an own instance of fontview and i don't think that's very memory-efficient... somebody has a better idea??? for temporarly deinstallation i just taskkill fontview: ::----------------------------------- taskkill.exe /F /IM fontview.exe ::----------------------------------- for a permanent font installation i use this batch-script: ::----------------------------------- FOR /F "delims=;" %%a IN ('Dir .\Fonts /B /A-D-H-S /S') DO COPY "%%a" "%WINDIR%\Fonts" ::----------------------------------- i just copy all fonts to the windows fonts directory. the negative: you have to do a restart before you can use these fonts, because their have some registry entries to be done.(http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBB/tip0500/rh0527.htm) i would like to do the registry entry myself after copying the fonts(so i assume that i don't need to restart?!), but i don't know how to get the font-name. the font name is not the font-file-name. for example: font-name: "Bitstream Cyberbit (TrueType)" font-file-name:"CYBERBIT.TTF" (and this batch don't work for postscript-fonts, but that's ok for me) If somebody has a good idea, you can make me happy!!!

extract the file you downloaded. then install it silently with this batch-script. (the batch kills the scanning after setup and the antivir-guard in system-tray...) ::-------------------------------------------- avwinsfx\Setup.exe /silent :kill taskkill.exe /F /IM AVWIN.EXE if errorlevel 1 GOTO kill taskkill.exe /F /IM AVGNT.EXE ::--------------------------------------------

I do it this way with the special install file from http://www.foobar2000.org/download.html: ----------------------------------------------------- START foobar2000_0.8.3_special.exe /S :kill taskkill.exe /F /IM fooassoc.exe if errorlevel 1 GOTO kill exit ----------------------------------------------------- I just kill the file-association window...

little correction: give absolute path in "options/preferences/system/mail directory": "C:\Programs\TheBat\BatMail\" NOT "%Programfiles%\TheBat\BatMail\"

export the registry settings of your current installation: reg export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT pref.reg make a copy of your theBat installation and unattended install it later like that: xcopy /E /H /I /Y TheBat C:\Programme\TheBat Regedit /S pref.reg unattended apps-folder looks like that: XPCD\$OEM$\$1\APPS\TheBat\setup.bat XPCD\$OEM$\$1\APPS\TheBat\pref.reg XPCD\$OEM$\$1\APPS\TheBat\TheBat only thing to be careful, that your Mail Directory is set to your installation/thebat folder.(options/preferences/system/mail directory) i put "%Programfiles%\TheBat\BatMail\" and it works perfectly. so i always only have to copy the whole thebat folder and the registry settings... works for me fine with my thebat 2.10.03.
