  1. I don't want to create a silent install, but I want to have the serial numer pre-filled. Is there any way to do this with a configuration file? I created the application.xml.override file but this doesn't seem to be used if not doing a silent install. Is it possible to add it to the msi file directly?

    Yes, by editing the msi properties. But try creating an mst file first. Modifying the msi directly does not work all the time, and it should only be done if everything else fails. I haven't played with msi files for more than 2 years, and I don't have the adobe software to perform some tests. But I am pretty sure that the concept about msi's still remains the same (except for the implementation of xml).

  2. Thanks for replying guys.

    @LLXX: Could you explain to us how this can be done? Because I saw some posts suggesting the same thing, but they didn't mention how to do it.

    @-I-: Yeah I did some research earlier. However, I wasn't able to find the right answer. Others say that it is posible if you use a special router. But it costs about 200 bucks! :lol:

    @nitroshift: Thanks for the link. I am reading it now. I saw some softwares that can do the load balancing for you.

    According to the link, I can only do load balancing, but I cannot combine the two connections to get a faster speed. That is fine with me. I just want to make use of both of them simultaneously. Unfortunately, I still have to buy a special router! :(

    There has to be a way to do this.. What if I use one with direct connection and the other one with wireless?

  3. I have a 6 megabits cable internet connection, and recently I got another 6 megabits dsl internet connection by mistake. The funny thing is I only have one computer!! Both of the ISP's have contracts, so I cannot get rid of either one of them.

    How can I use both of them simultaneously? My dsl speed is 6mbps, and my cable is 6mbps as well. Is there a way to combine the two connections and get 12mbps speed?

    Obviously, I am not good in networking. :P

  4. Hello I finished slipstreaming my windows with the help form a manual that I found for download on this site. I can not find out how to set up the program to install other programs. I would like to install things like dotnet, java, vlc, and codex. I can not find anything that tells me how to do this and what I need to do to with the switchs.

    any help would be great thanks

    Hello and welcome aboard! :hello:

    Here is a good place to start. http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/

    If you are looking for a way to silently install any application, just search this forum. I'm pretty sure that we have the solution for most of the softwares here. If you can't find the solution for a particular software, feel free to ask. ;)

    I can not find anything that tells me how to do this and what I need to do to with the switchs.

    What are switches? Switches are command line parameters that can be passed on to an executable (e.g. installers) do perform a specific action. Switches control how the executable will behave during runtime. For example, you want to install VLC player silently. You can do that by using the /S switch. So you command will look similar to this:

    START /W vlc-0.8.5-win32.exe /S

    The vlc-0.8.5-win32.exe is the executable name, and after that is the switch /S. The switch controls the behavior of the executable. It makes the executable run silently (invisible, and without requiring you to click any button).

    I hope this helps a bit. :)

  5. Hi. I am just a bit concerned because I saw that the tool contains softwares from Sysinternals.

    Here is an excerpt from Sysinternals EULA:

    A commercial license is required to use the software in any way not covered above, including for example:

    * Redistributing the software in any manner, including by computer

    media, a file server, an email attachment, etc.

    * Embedding the software in or linking it to another program

    * Use of the software for technical support on customer computers

  6. OMG!! I guess I've been really busy. I never had the chance to visit this thread, neither this site.. :(:P

    I haven't read the recent posts yet, but I will when I get back home. :) Andromeda43 sent me a message 2 days ago regarding this thread, and I just saw it earlier.

    Thanks to all of your comments guys. I really appreciate it.

  7. Hi,

    How to you repackaged exe to msi?

    What progs should I use?

    I used InstallShield X Express for building my **** msi. It is not that complicated, because it is just a small software.

    It is easier if you use Inno for small applications like this.
