"drive:\whatever_path\ACDSee 7.0 PowerPack.msi" /QN USERNAME="Your_Name_Here" SLL_LICENSENUMBER=xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxx ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS Works. Then I do: taskkill /im devdetect.exe /f Then: regedit /s whatever.reg which contains: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "Device Detector"=- To disable the annoying device detector that's intalled by default. I haven't had time for more tweaks jsut yet (viewer full screen, black background, ...) but hopefully soon

Actually, v7 might be even faster than classic (or very close to anyways) unlike v6 which was quite slow. Also, classic is not much more than a plain picture viewer, it doesn't have most of the features the newer ones have.

Ok, I don't know what's wrong here. I made a simple comment and you seem to take it all personnal, thing I'm putting everybody down or something. No, there is no conspiracy against you or anything dude... Chill. It does work without any delays, and it does work with long file names if you use double quotes. As for the paths that need to be fixed, that should be pretty obvious, and I even said "or something similar (with proper paths)". No point of me putting my own paths there as it will do no good to anybody else. It's never failed on me, it installs everything, and it's lightning quick (so fast I can't even notice for about 12 extensions). No magic required. (I don't know why you say it's broken and/or slow eh) If there's any other method I'd use, it would be SiMoNsAyS' method (just feels like more work) Okay exactly what the hell could go so wrong? You've never seen AutoIt go wrong before? All it takes is a timing glitch, an installer glitch or something and it's just stopped right there. Happenned to me again yesterday when clonecd's installer stupidly popped an error message saying it couldn't write to clonecd.exe or something like that yet, nothing was wrong, and pressing retry resumed the install... It's not the perfect example, but it's not the most reliable means to install soft (I do use it too when I have to) As for the other post, perhaps I didn't remember or didn't see it again. You remember every single post you've been into? Just stop with the useless bashing. I just gave my opinion and now you're all over me. There's definately no need for that.

Bah, NOD32, kaspersky, avast... Really it's all good - as long as it's not Norton crap

My ACDsee 7 unpacks nicely to a file called "ACDSee 7.0 PowerPack.msi" and the usual/old methods still work fine.

I don't know why you guys have to make such a simple thing so complex (especially AutoIt that could go very wrong)... "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -install-global-extension "%CDROM%\install\firefox addons\xpi\whatever.xpi" works fine for me, or use something like for %%i in *.xpi do "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -install-global-extension "%CDROM%\install\firefox addons\xpi\%%i.xpi" or something similar (with proper paths). Nothing to copy, nothing fancy. It works on every plugin I've tried. Want to add/remove plugins? Just toss them with the others... It just doesn't get simpler than that.

If you got monies for a nice mouse, get this one instead Cheap Mouse You even get a multi user license out of it

It's on my overhyped and overpriced list along with iPods. -A trackball addict.

No more sp1/sp1a here either

I never had problems using USB keyboard/mouse to install. Try changing the legacy support for USB in your bios.

Sounds like your 120 day grace period is over

You must not have looked in the proper locations then: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CpuIdle] "SplashScreen"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "CpuIdle"="C:\\Program Files\\CpuIdle\\cpuidle.exe" This should do it

duh... that's already what he's doing and it's not working... (and location of .reg file doesn't matter at all). Perhaps it might matter if it's applied before or after installing the app?

Looks like you're on a rampage against Norton there... (although it does suck eh)

I think they only survive because of corporate upgrade licenses (cheaper) and people that trust the name (what a mistake ) or that never tried anything else. Their only improvements seem the new licensing and features like slower than ever scanning speeds and more bloat... I think anyone who uses anything else once (kaspersky, nod32, avast, you name it) or that bothers looking deeper into it never goes back. Norton is definately at the very bottom of my list.

Title is "overhyped" but I don't see a reason to bash it even if NIS is the worst garbage I've ever seen. (even worse than NAV- and that's quite hard to beat!)

You'd think the install would work the same way, but just like buletov, there's no way I'm installing that thing on my PC.

So true

Or you do like I do. You automate everything BUT the hard drive/partition selection. It's right at the beginning and after that everything is silent. I chose that because sometimes I might want the whole disk, sometimes I might want a partition, and either ways it's nice to have direct control over that.

From experience, I'd say this is a problem on most forums, it's not just an isolated case. One popular solution is forcing people to wait a week or so before they can post for the first time - it forces to read and search for the answers first. It might sound rude in a way but even if it's annoying it does work... Many small things like that can be done but i doubt xper wants to do anything like that just before the switch to IPB 2.

shutdown -s -m \\main should work, you could try to add -f too... perhaps your pc is firewalled or something similar is preventing it from happenning (no RPC connectitivity?).

There was a big debate about + or - for compatibility, but there is no straight answer. -R was more popular at first, now +R has more appeal because of faster burning speeds (and DL already in stores). Juse like you said, you don't have a set top yet, and if you ever buy one, then it will support both anyways... It doesn't really matter. Just buy whatever you can get at decent prices by the spindle... I just bought 100 -R's for 40$ USD and they work fine.

localhost points to your loopback ip (127.0.0.1) and it's defined in your hosts file. It's all there is to it, it won't change a thing (nothing to do with drives). Drive wise, it's only a matter of your config files and such to point to the right folders.

It looks like every week someone posts that question all over again...

can't find what? be more precise maybe?
