totoymola

1 more to confirm this and i'll remove it Hmmm.... How about another msi? Download here: http://tinyurl.com/4yyut It has nothing but default, plus Flash plug-in. It is repacked as an exe to minimize the size. If you run the exe, it installs silently by default. This will work for sure. All you have to do is add this command to your batch. START /W "Firefox (1.0) (totoymola).exe" Or, you can extract the msi from the exe, and run this: START /W setup.msi /QN Note: You can use /QB if you want to see the progess bar.

where did you guys get the update?

jre50.msi /qb-! Can someone explain to me the purpost of the ! again?

I don't know why, but only /qr works for Adobe Acrobat Pro 6. The /qn and /qb will not install it silently. The /qr should work without a problem. Another thing. you have to merge a regfile containing your encrypted serial before the installation.

Nice find buddy.

I have this probelem too. When I install one of my programs silently, a windows pops up. It is the shortcut forlder of the software.

Cool! So I think I will delete it as well.

Thanks Tsunami for the additional information.

No it's not. That's why I thought of removing it. Thanks MHz for the clarification. How about the LANG folder? If I'm just installing English version, do I still need that? It is about 90mb.

Screw that msi. That is my first working build, so it really sucks. @Mekrel I can help you build your msi if you want. There are lots of different ways to do it. There are complex ways which include scripting, and there is an easy way (setting the default profile from the beginning). I actually made a guide for this a few months ago, but I just have no guts on posting it. I don't think it is the easiest way to do a silent installer, and I thought no one will need it.

Thanks for the link prathapml. Infos there are worth reading. Yeah. XPlode is xml based. And it is really complicated. My stupid brain can't comprehend that for now. But I'm planning to study that one of these days because I might need it for making installshield projects. There are lots of things that I wanna learn. I'm just taking one step at a time. Thanks Yzöwl for the explanation of 128 and 132.

What does that 128 means? Because under my HKCR\inffile\shell\install\command, I have rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132. Thanks.

Yeah. I guess you are right. INF files are good, but more complicated than command scripts. It's time to read endless manuals again.

I think it is because the plugin is not working properly with firefox. Same as the java plug-in. I'm not sure if there is something we can do to fix it.

Too fast!

Thanks. I think it's time to continue studying how INF files work. I started studying this months ago, but I stopped because I got bored, and I thought I'm not going to use it.

Thanks guys for the reply. I'm gonna try them. @MCT What is it gonna look like if I use 2 percent signs? Is it like this? @="%%SystemRoot%%\Resources\Icons\txt.ico",0 @pinout The "%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\txt.ico",0 is actually the exact value in my registry. But I will try your idea. I'm still a rookie in INF files. I don't even know how to use it for a silent installation. All I know is installing it manually. (right click an INF file, then click install. ) And I don't know how to make those kind of scripts.

Sorry. Wrong section. I thought I was in the Unattended section.

I want to change the default icon of the text files without hacking the shell32.dll. So this is what I did. Under the HKCR\txtfile\DefaultIcon, I manually changed the default value to the path of my icon file. In my case, it is "%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\txt.ico",0. However, if I export that entry so I can use it on my unattended installation, the value changed to hex. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\DefaultIcon] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\ 00,25,00,5c,00,52,00,65,00,73,00,6f,00,75,00,72,00,63,00,65,00,73,00,5c,00,\ 49,00,63,00,6f,00,6e,00,73,00,5c,00,74,00,78,00,74,00,2e,00,69,00,63,00,6f,\ 00,22,00,2c,00,30,00,00,00 Is there a way to change this hex value to a more readable text? And I'm not sure if this will work on a different installation. I tried [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\Resources\Icons\txt.ico",0 but it didn't work.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. Wait, how do you actually make a multi cd unattended installation with runonceex? What is the easiest way?

This folder is at the root of the cd (same level as the I386 and SUPPORT folder). Can I safely remove that folder without any complication? I'm making an unattended CD now (I usually use a DVD) so I need a little more space. I think I can, but I'm not sure. I don't use nlite and I don't know how to make an unattended installaiton with multiple discs. Thanks.

There is. Go to your %appdata%\mozilla\profiles and copy the folder there. Go to the chrome folder, edit the chrome.rdf with Notepad2 or Metapad (because it is easier if you use the "replace" feauture), and change the paths there. Then make it your default profile.

What?? Winamp 5.08??? WTF???

oops

yeah!! me too!
