It does not look like the AutoIt programming language. Perhaps you copied the source from somewhere and thought it was AutoIt source and saved it to a au3 file?

Avast is probably still in customized Inno Setup installer. Try experimenting with recording the install with the appropriate parameters shown in the Inno Setup help documentation. http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setupcmdline

Me too. You want some features without the extra stuff. Most modern file systems do this and more i.e ZFS, NTFS, EXT 2,3,4, BTRFS, REISERFS... I am not sure if quotas are as low level as the file system. As for ownership as you quoted is interesting, as each file created is stamped with a number for that user for purpose of "ownership", permissions, quota etc could be nice if you did not want to be tracked local, by intranet or by internet. The number is supposedly unquie worldwide. Like a digital fingerprint. I am not aware of any file system that does this tailored exact to your specifications.

I do not understand these responses. I expected something better, jaclaz. I am not sure if you are joking or being serious. Technology is withheld. Vehicles that can run on water and emit H2O out the exhaust as waste, or can run on air i.e. free energy etc. that go missing. So a expensive hovercraft that runs on fossil fuels is the comparison? Tesla military weapons based on technology about a century old are just being utilized. Something very odd is going on. GPT is the solution to the 32 bit bios limit of 2TB. What has the FAT file system got to with that? <sarcasm>Making FAT work with GPT, oh, a miracle</sarcasm>. I hope the sarcasm is not an insult to you, but a wake up call. The 2TB barrier was bound to be breached no matter what file system is involved. Technology usually follows the flow of like a water tap that drips. Just a gradual change, just for a nice gradual profit. Have a look at other file systems. FAT is as old as Win 9x kept alive by a corporation. Profit! Profit! Profit! Did I assert the word Profit enough? I am guilty of sarcasm again with the profit thing though profit is good, right? Good logic must be bad in comparison perhaps. Your options could be to sacifice what you usually want, to be different. I choose my path, not well liking to my desire though you can too. You mentioning the wheel seems to have little relation in a reply to me with this particular topic of technology. Donuts instead of wheels could have been used. I am guilty of sarcasm again. You may have tickled me some to have brought it on.

jaclaz, 98 to ME was enough FAT32 for me. Thanks, but I do not like using FAT as any FAT file system is very old, outdated technology. Mind you, NTFS is not the only MFT file system around as you might already know. I do not want to go into the what could be when the current powers disagree.

Fat32? No master file table. Reminds me of having a faster internet connection over a decade ago. My hope in the human race is way past lost.

That is awesome. Is that with Compiz-Fusion installed/enabled? I currently have Fedora Linux on my laptop with Gnome 3 and well, very ordinary to use. I considered MATE on last install but the vital super key + type in what to run seemed missing so I went Gnome 3 again. I was a big fan of Gnome since using it since 1995. Before that well, too tricky for me to install and use so I went with what I knew well, Windows.

If you are going to use AutoIt, then the variables will not expand within strings unless you set some options to do that. Binary data in AutoIt starts with 0x so it is like 0x3C00... Here is the correction to your Input and the following RegWrites. The underscores at the end of the lines are continuations characters so the lines do not go off page. $strHome = InputBox("HOmepage", "Provide your chosen Homepage", "https://www.google.com/")if $strHome == "" then Exit 1RegWrite("HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\MAIN", "START PAGE", "REG_SZ", $strHome)RegWrite('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections', _ 'DefaultConnectionSettings', "REG_BINARY", _ "0x3c000000110000000100000000000000000000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" _)As for your your use of sed, well, that is not clear to my understanding of what you are doing. AutoIt has got Perl Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) support built in so perhaps you can use FileRead to read the file and use StringRegExpReplace to do the replacements in the string and then use FileWrite to write to the file with the changes.

This is rather normal for bios to beep once to alert of post processing. If it does not then you may know of an issue and where to look. Multiple beeps can also tell you where to look. You may already know this but I thought It was worth mentioning. @ROTS The symptoms seem like an issue with the sound device as beeping windows default sounds is what a PC does when no sound device is installed. This could be the sound device or perhaps the driver for the device is of concern. If a sound card exists then reseating the sound card may help. A case that is too flexible can allow slotted cards to move and thus cause issues and can be a problem. What is the main board make and model? What is the sound device if it is a card? What is the sound driver if not an integrated part of the main board driver? If this is a main board with a bios not suitable for Windows Vista then that maybe the issue. Flashing the bios to a newer version may help if a newer version exists.

It is also worth mentioning that if you install a service pack then it backs up the old system files into this hidden folder under the Windows folder as well. This is why slipsteaminng a service pack into a Windows install source is a great advantage and as an alternative, installing a service pack using no backup switches so prevent the extra files in the hidden folder. There is a risk in the later on an unknown system but a major saver if known. The system file cache is another hidden folder that can be cleaned to slim down your install size. SFC.exe can get those files from your installation source so the system file cache is not needed, but rather a convenience. XP is about 1 GB installed yet about half as much if these extras are flushed from the file system.

cmd xyz.exe fails as it should so I am unsure why no one sees the issue.The syntax is invalid. CMD expects a script to be passed to it unless you use /c or /k to invoke command line mode. Passing an executable to CMD as parameter without the previous switches is invalid to CMD so you should consider yourself lucky if it does work as it fails for me. If you can run a command from a script without using Start, then why add it. Note that Start is an internal command so it has a little overhead to add to the process. I personally do not care if you use it as I consider that it will not hurt too much. The use of CMD /C in a command file is invoking a separate instance of the command interpreter which is indeed an overhead of being another process, more memory and more differcult debugging. When to use Start? notepad.exe :: cmd notepad.exe REM stops here returning to a prompt so commented to run all script cmd /c notepad.exe start /wait "notepad.exe" www.msfn.org :: cmd www.msfn.org REM stops here returning to a prompt so commented to run all script cmd /c www.msfn.org start www.msfn.org pause The most direct commands would be notepad.exe and start www.msfn.org. @bphlpt Executions in a command script are processed one after the other in sequence. This means each command is executed and the next command does not start until the previous command completes. If it did not do that by default then you would have a race condition happening and many scripts may fail with handling the return value of the previous command. If you use Start, then the process will continue without waiting so you can do other commands without concern to the Started process previously executed. If you use Start /Wait then the behavior of moving to the next execution is the same as the default of waiting in a script. To do a series of commands at an interactive command prompt like in the creation of a script is to first type the char ( , press the return key and then type each command line. When done adding commands then you can type the char ) to close the batch of commands and then it will execute automatically. @Yzöwl Nice to see the wise owl is still flying around.

Hi MC, If you recorded the setup.iss then silent install should work, so I will mention some things that may help. 1. If the setup.iss is in the same directory as the setup file then the f1 switch is usually not needed. I cannot state if working directory affects this though if concerned, try cd /d %~dp0 in your cmd script before calling the setup file. 2. If the f1 switch is supported by the installer, then perhaps the f2 is as well for the log file. If you are installing from read only media then Installshield may try to create a install log file in the same directory as the setup file. If the directory is read only then the install process may fail. If so then try adding to the command line /f2"%tmp%\setup.log". Create a unique filename for the log like say a password generator does so it does not conflict with another file. 3. I notice that you are not passing /qn to the msi. The answer file set.iss may not be read by setup if it is not silent. This would be what I would try. cd /d %~dp0 myob.exe /s /v"/qn SERIAL=000000000000"
