    Flash 7.0.19 and Shockwave 10.1.0.11 without Yahoo

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Using the RunOnceEx.cmd method (with the .exe file), I used...

    REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Flash 7 and Shockwave 10" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Flash7Shockwave10\mm_fl_sw_installer.exe /qb /s" /f

    However, I would get a screen initially that I had to hit Next, then the install would continue till it finished, and I would get another screen where I had to click finish. I tried just /s, but that didn't work either.

    I'm going to try the msi file with /s and see if that one will work silently.

    Registry Tweaks

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Found a mistake with one of the Reg files...

    ;----- Change the Default Wallpaper to the one I want

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General]

    "BackupWallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\MX1600.jpg"

    "Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\MX1600.jpg"

    This doesn't appear to work. I have a jpg file in the correct place, but Windows wont load it. However, I've noticed Windows converts .jpg files to .bmp files and uses them instead. So what I did was copy the converted file to c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\, renamed it to MX1600.bmp, and this fixed the problem.

    Also found a useful tweak for WindowBlinds users. Want to load a theme silently, try this...

    1. With WindowBlinds loaded, install the Skin you want.

    2. Copy the Skin Folder you want (should be under C:\Program Files\WindowBlinds\NAME OF THEME), into ($OEM$\$Progs\WindowBlinds\NAME OF THEME).

    Now when you Silently install WindowBlinds, it will place the Theme into WindowBlinds folder on your C drive. To activate this theme, use the following Reg file...

    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1957994488-220523388-725345543-1003\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WB5.ini\WBLiteFX]

    "Skinset"="C:\\Program Files\\WindowBlinds\\NAME OF THEME\\NAME OF THEME.UIS"

    "Skinset2"="NAME OF THEME"

    Please note the "NAME OF THEME" is the name of the WindowBlinds theme (remember the WindowBlinds themes are loaded from the Appearance Tab\Windows and buttons section of Display Properties).

    So in my example, I have a theme called Abracadabra. So I copy C:\Program Files\WindowBlinds\Abracadabra (about 3megs in size) to $OEM$\$Progs\WindowBlinds\Abracadabra.

    Then I put the following Reg key in my Software.reg file (which installs after RunOnceEx.cmd)..

    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1957994488-220523388-725345543-1003\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WB5.ini\WBLiteFX]

    "Skinset"="C:\\Program Files\\WindowBlinds\\Abracadabra\\Abracadabra.UIS"

    "Skinset2"="Abracadabra"

    If somebody has an easier way, I'm all ears...

    I encountered a problem with one of HoverHeads tweaks...

    ;----- Active Window Tracking for XP

    ;----- Value: (0=disable, 1=enable)

    ;----- This tweak allows you to bring running programs to the foreground just by

    ;----- moving you mouse of the application window. This is similar to the X-Mouse

    ;----- feature found on UNIX operating systems.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

    "UserPreferencesMask"=hex:ff, 3e, 00 00

    "ActiveWindowTracking"=dword:00000001

    "ActiveWndTrkTimeout"=dword:000003e8

    Doesn't seem to work on my Logitech MX700 mouse (with the 9.80 Logitech drivers).

    Need help with WallPaperChanger PowerToy Silent...

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    Found SpywareBlaster 3.1 info, so going to try it on the 3.2 version...

    REG ADD %KEY%\076 /VE /D "SpywareBlaster 3.2" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\076 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\SpywareBlaster\spywareblastersetup32.exe /verysilent /NOCANCEL /SP- /NORESTART" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\076 /V 2 /D "taskkill.exe /F /IM spywareblaster.exe" /f

    As for WinMX, all the searches I've done, come up with nothing (same with WallPaper Changer Powertoy). Perhaps someone out there might know and post.

    Trying AutoIt3 and need help.

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    I've nearly got my Unattended CD complete, and decided to put a few desktop modifier programs on (WindowBlinds, Iconpackager, CursorXP), but am having some problems.

    Here is the code I've got so far in in RunOnceEx.cmd (this is just a sample, didn't want to post everything else to save space).

    cmdow @ /HID

    @echo off

    SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

    REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\078 /VE /D "CursorXP 1.3" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\078 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\CursorXP\AutoIt3.exe CursorXP_1.3.au3" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\079 /VE /D "CursorXP Skin" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\079 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\CursorXP\Abracadabra.CurXPTheme" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "IconPackager 2.5" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\IconPackager\AutoIt3.exe IconPackager_2.50.au3" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\081 /VE /D "WindowBlinds 4.4" /f

    REG ADD %KEY%\081 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\WindowBlinds\AutoIt3.exe WindowBlinds_4.40.au3" /f

    EXIT

    As an example, in my Applications\CursorXP folder, I have AutoIT3.exe, CursorXP_1.3.au3, and cursorxpplus.exe. I believe I can do a few things to clean this up, but not really sure how. Anyway, here are some things I've read but could use some help on...

    1. Using AutoIt3 to create an exe file that runs AutoIt3, the Au3 file, and the application.

    2. Put AutoIt3.exe in System32, and change the install line from RunOnceEx.cmd to something like this...

    REG ADD %KEY%\078 /V 1 /D "AutoIt3.exe %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\CursorXP\CursorXP_1.3.au3" /f

    I believe the first suggestion would be the best, but I have no idea how to make an exe file out of AutoIt3, the .au3 file, and the source file. I've looked on these boards, and on the AutoIt3 boards, but haven't found how to make these exe's yet.

    Any help would be appreciated.
