@Incroyable HULK You could always just download the lite or ultralite versions. http://www.autopatcher.com/liteinfo2k.html

good tip and a nice alternative. thanks.

You can also download all the hotfixes for Windows 2000 SP-4 in one neat setup package. AutoPatcher 2000 Downloads: http://www.autopatcher.com/download2k.html Info: http://www.autopatcher.com/fullinfo2k.html

One of the options in ACDSee7 is to participate in their "update service", which monitors your usage of the program. Is there a silent switch to turn off that feature? The file "UsageTrack.txt" gets created when you run ACDSee 7 for the first time. Although it has a txt extension, it's really not a text file at all. I don't know what the contents hold, but I know that it changes everytime you open a picture file. You can delete this file, but it does no good for it recreates itself the next time acdsee is run. This file maybe harmless but just from the name itself implies to me - Be Cautious. A possible workaround is making it a read-only empty file. At least this way I can be sure no sensitive data can be written to that file. del "%UserProfile%\Application Data\ACD Systems\ACDsee\70\UsageTrack.txt" '>"%UserProfile%\Application Data\ACD Systems\ACDsee\70\UsageTrack.txt" attrib +r "%UserProfile%\Application Data\ACD Systems\ACDsee\70\UsageTrack.txt" If anyone knows more about this subject or knows a switch please let me know.

Thanks for your guide. Pretty straight forward. I managed to reduce my nero setup from 27MB (Winrar) to 21.7MB (7-Zip). I do have some questions and tips to add. 1) You could tell people to leave multi-threading checked if they have a Pentium 4 with Hyper-Threading. It could speed up their compressing speed up to 30%. 2) Is it a typo? Should'nt it be 7zSD.sfx, or it does'nt really matter what you call it.3) I used your nero.sfx, but I'm also curious as to how you changed the icon. I would like to know how to put my own icons into *.sfx. Care to do another step by step guide. Excellent job.

Yes, you need them. They are the driver files.

I figured out why it didn't work for me. It seems if you rename the filename, the /S will not work. Kinda strange though. Anyways I got it working now, thanks drthawhizkid & MCT for confirming it does work.

The newest CCleaner v1.15.078 is out. The /S (uppercase) parameter no longer works, now what?

It is not a -R, rather /r Try giving your iss file a destination, likesetup.exe /a /r /f1c:\setup.iss

siapro7int.exe /S /v/qn Or you can shave an extra 4 MB off the setup file by going through the temporary setup method. msiexec.exe /i siapro7int.msi TRANSFORMS=1033.mst /qb Remember to include your path. Personally, I don't really like using this program. It conflicts with my firewall Kerio, runs rather slowly, is a resource hog, and it renders some websites inaccessable, even when the program is not running. JMHO. Have you tried any other Anonymous Proxy Server programs? The only other one I've tried is Complete Anonymous Web Surfing? It has less of a memory footprint, but still a bit buggy at times.

Steganos Internet Anonym 7 uses Installshield. Try /?

Well the latest version 7.2.3.906 is NOT machine specific, but the registration serial number is still encrypted. First, do a normal or /SAVEINF setup, run the program, enter registration information, export reg key, and then text edit reg key - preserving Language, UserName and Registration key names only. I tested my silent install on another machine and it works. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EasyBoot Systems\UltraISO\5.0] "Language"="1033" "UserName"="XXXXX" "Registration"="XXXXXXXXXXXX" ECHO. ECHO Installing UltraISO 7.x ME START /WAIT %SystemDrive%\Install\UltraISO\uiso7_me.exe /DIR="%ProgramFiles%\UltraISO" /SP- /VERYSILENT REGEDIT /S %SystemDrive%\Install\UltraISO\reg_uiso.reg REM Optional. English language. Space recovered ~1.7MB. RD /S /Q "%ProgramFiles%\UltraISO\lang" DEL /Q "%ProgramFiles%\UltraISO\*.txt" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\UltraISO\UltraISO Online Order.LNK" DEL /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\UltraISO\UltraISO R*.LNK" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\UltraISO\UltraISO Web Site.LNK"

This happen to me too, even though I followed exactly the silent guide. http://www.k-litemegacodecpack.com/index.p...t=silentinstall The problem is using the pwd relative path command, /LOADINF=".\silent.inf" It wasn't even reading my inf file, so I use the absolute path instead. ie. /LOADINF="%systemdrive%\install\k-lite\silent.inf" That solved my problem, hopefully yours too. Also, you might want to removed the /DIR from your silent.inf and instead place that switch inline with a slight modification for better portablility.

I don't remember if that is true or not, but even if it is true, leaving the switch in won't hurt him. no, the xcopy will create the directory even if it's not there already.

I've notice some errors in your batch file Copy license.key "%programfiles%\Kerio\Personal Firewall 4\License" 1. copy is an internal command, you should use xcopy instead, else precede the copy command with cmd /c 2. you also forgot to put a \ at the end of License (you want the license.key inside License directory, not copied over as License) 3. from my own experimentation, if you rename "Kerio Personal Firewall.msi" it might not work. Best to leave the filename as is. For simplicity, try this. REG ADD %KEY%\110 /VE /D "Kerio Personal Firewall" /f REG ADD %KEY%\110 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\kerio\ISScript10.Msi /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /f REG ADD %KEY%\110 /V 2 /D "\"%systemdrive%\install\kerio\Kerio Personal Firewall.msi\" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /f REG ADD %KEY%\110 /V 3 /D "xcopy /y %systemdrive%\install\kerio\license.key \"%ProgramFiles%\Kerio\Personal Firewall 4\License\\"" /f Good luck.

Run j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe, but do not install it. After extraction is completed and you are presented with the setup screen. Go into your Documents and Settings Temp folder, for example C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Temp and look for the msi file. Copy that msi file to your %systemdrive%\Install\SunJava\ Cancel Setup screen. Rename that msi file if u like, I renamed mine to java2re.msi %systemdrive%\install\SunJava\java2re.msi /G1033 /QN ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress JAVAUPDATE=0 WEBSTARTICON=0 I don't know if the /G is neccessary, but the 1033 means English Language

Okay, I did this and now I have these updated/new files in i386 tcpip.sys DOSNET.INF svcpack.inf svcpack {FOLDER} 517 KB branches.inf HFINT.dat KB884020.cat KB884020.exe Here's my noobish question, Now that the tcpip.sys is updated, I looked at the svcpack.inf, [CatalogHeader] [Version] BuildNumber=2600 MinorVersion=1 MajorVersion=5 Signature="$WINDOWS NT$" [setupData] CatalogSubDir="\I386\svcpack" [setupHotfixesToRun] KB884020.exe /q /n /z [ProductCatalogsToInstall] KB884020.cat I'm a little bit confuse as to why KB884020.exe needs to run again? I thought by using that /integrate switch it's becomes integrated. No?? Following along the same line of thought, future *.cat and *.exe in svcpack can be deleted to save space? Ques 2: Will my CD install correctly if I leave tcpip.sys as is or do I need to modifype and makecab? Ques 3: I expanded RyanVM's TCPIP.SY_ and did a MD5 comparison with the integrated method and their checksum are not the same? Anyways I like this site a lot. Discovered it only about a month ago. So much stuff to take in, but it's been fun learning.
