i dont want to use nlite. in my 1386 folder, i dont have ANY inf files...i have a lot of in_ files. one of them is stsoc.in_ but when i open it in notepad, its garble. what do i do? also, how do i make winxp automatically - "Show hidden files and folders" in explorer windows?

I'm pretty sure they are very different versions... 3.0 Beta is totally different, it no longer even looks the same as this WPI. I like this one much more. A lot simpler, faster, and easier to use overall

I just tested my CD, and MS Messenger installed!! I'm talking about the system-tray icon of the two little blue guys. I do not want this included... I used this: I don't know what else to do! How do I stop this?

The Real Ultimate Way to Install AIM: Method 1 (Best) - SFX BEFORE XPCD: 1) Install AIM 5.9.3690 by hand (untick all options you don't want) 2) Install AIM Ad Hack Light 3.66 3) Copy msvcr71.dll from C:\Program Files\AIM\Sysfiles to C:\Program Files\AIM 5) Create aim.reg (below), and place it in $OEM$\$1\Install 6) Right-Click your AIM folder (in Program Files), and select "Add to Archive" (WinRAR) 7) Check "Create SFX Archive", "Create Solid Archive", and change Compression Method to "Best" (drop-down list). Also select a name for your archive. For this example, I am calling it "AIMInstall.exe". 8) Switch to the "Comment" tab, and paste the SFX code (below) into the "Manual" box. 9) Click "OK" 10) Move "AIMInstall.exe" and "AIM.reg" to your XPCD. For XPCD: 11) Run AIMInstall.exe to 'install'. Method 2 - CMD BEFORE XPCD: 1) Install AIM 5.9.3690 by hand (untick all options you don't want) 2) Install AIM Ad Hack Light 3.66 3) Copy msvcr71.dll from C:\Program Files\AIM\Sysfiles to C:\Program Files\AIM 4) Create a shortcut to AIM.exe in the AIM folder (C:\Program Files\AIM - same folder with all the files in it) 5) Create aim.reg (below), and place it in $OEM$\$1\Install 6) Create AIMInstall.cmd (below), and place it in $OEM$\$1\Install 7) Copy C:\Program Files\AIM into your $OEM$\$1\Install\AIM folder. For XPCD: 8) Run AIMInstall.cmd (below) to 'install' Method 3 - ZIP (Note: File no longer hosted...) 1) Download AIM_Install.zip . 2) Extract the included .zip file to your XPCD folder. 3) When you want to install, run AIMInstall.cmd - This will install AIM to: %systemdrive%\Program Files\AIM - AIMInstall.cmd, and aim.reg will be deleted via your cleanup file (by deleting %systemdrive%\install) Files Much thanks to Sourcer for the web space!

I figured it out: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=28635

^bumpity bump^ got a new solution for me, too?

could you explain how to make a winrar sfx file, step by step, so that it is SILENTLY installed? (Also, do I have to do the reg stuff seperately, or can that be integrated as part of the SFX?) Thanks!

oh no... ANOTHER version, lol. which one is THIS based on? WPI_2.6_FINAL? What have you changed/improved/etc.? [edit] I took a look at the program, and man, you changed way too much. It was a lot better before...I'm sticking with WPI_2.6_FINAL

what? You saying that [COMMANDS] "REGEDIT /S %SYSTEMDRIVE%\INSTALL\RegTweaks.reg" won't work in cmdlines.txt? Can anyone verify this?

Here's how I do it: ACCOUNT SETTINGS (Data about your mail and news accounts): 1) RegEdit -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager 2) Registry -> Export Registry File. 3) Save the file to a name like "outlook.reg". To restore the account settings: 1) Right-click the .REG file and select Merge. ADDRESS BOOK: 1) File -> Export -> Address Book (select 'comma separated text file'). 2) Select the fields you want to export (give a full path name). To restore the address book: 1) File -> Import -> Other address book (select the text file option again).

I wrote to the company in hopes of a reply, but look at this: 1) I haven't tried this swtich yet, but if anyone does, let me know if it works. "\...\Vegas4.0.exe" -q 2) I guess that settles the registration issue. It is similar to the problem everyone has with Norton Antivirus - it is DEFINITLY machine specific.

^bump.

is this an ISO? i once had a bad iso image, and the next one was fine...

That is my current solution, but not the best one. I don't want Cleanup to even be seen by the front-end user. Much in the same way that they don't see the $OEM$ folders get copied, I want cleanup to run silently when everything else is done. But, I guess this method is ok... (I can, at least, FORCE the option)

Anyone test this method? seems to work from my very informal test (installed copied uninstalled ran AIM from copied location and it worked) anyone test this for real in an install?

I have searched, but all threads have no outcome. how do i install soulseek 1.52 silently? (http://www.slsknet.org/)

^bump^ any info on the registration info of this program and how to auto-install that info?

Well, for "categories" you could make a "Program" with no parameter called [----------], and then ---------- will show up on the list, thus breaking the list into sections. Suggestion 1: VERSION NUMBERS, so we don't get confused as to which version we have. Suggestion 2: Unlimited amount of each function - anything can be put under [Program], and should work correctly. (ex: 3 RunWaits)

I have a similar problem, only mine is with my cleanup.cmd file. Cleanup.cmd kept running during WPI, and I have no way of forcing it to wait until WPI is DONE, since WPI closes after clicking "Begin Installation", and then RunOnceEx takes over (I think?). Any suggestions, programmers?

Thanks!

WOW, that is hard to read... lol Hmm... Think you can post the cute penguin .bmp so I can use it too? (from the logon screen) Also, Q about RunOnceEx: Is it supposed to FINISH ENTIRELY before the background/start menu/etc. loads? Or does that stuff load WHILE the programs are installing?

Default is the most important in that list, I just figured while you were at it, it would make it easier to do the other 2 as well... What if, for example, I have a program and an add-on? I'd have to do them seperately? Also, I can have a list of up to 8 commands for one program (assuming they are all different commands, one of each = 8) This sounds useful. Is it faster/slower than hard drive installation?

Suggestions: how about Default Options, Select All, and Deselect All. Seems pretty useful to me!! Questions: 1) How many lines can each Program have? Can I have two RunWait commands in a row? 2 DosCommand ? etc? 2) For WaitProcess - am I typing the process name (the same thing i would use, for example, in TASKKILL - the exe in Task Manager?) 3) Could you explain the run from CD thing more clearly?

ok, so now how do we get that silent registration going?

err... links still not working, and some pics won't link right when clicked (like "Storm")
