I do the same thing. For the registry entries, why don't you just import it using cmdlines.txt The problem that you are experiencing might be because of the Windows File Protection. It will not allow you to replace system files.

What's the reason?

Nice avatar Simon!

Hheehheeh.. Actually, no. That's the rules. We all go here to learn, and not to do illegal activities.

It should work on all msi's. But if the packager did a bad job on building the msi, you might experience some problems.

I haven't tried installing Illustrator yet. What problems are you experiencing when you install it silently?

That message is normal. Only a few msi's support hiding dialogs (mostly Wise msi's). I'll try to do it tomorrow.

I will try tomorrow. I can't do it now because I'm studying for my test.

He uses InstallShield, like you.

Hi BoardBabe. Read the information here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38802&hl=

Yeah!! I know that patch! Alcohol Soft uses that to patch Alcohol 120%. I really want to try it and help you out, but I don't have the game.

Is there a way to use WindowBlind/StyleXP themes without installing the software?

Try using an mst instead.

Nice code!

Hi again. I have a very little knowledge about unpacking, patching, and assembly. Sorry. Unpacking - This means removing the protection or compression of a PE file (Portable Executable). Some PE files are packed for two major reasons. One is for protection (to help prevent reversing), and the second is to make the file size smaller. There are a lot of packagers/compressors available. Petite and UPX are freewares, and files protected by these tools can be unpacked easily. PECompact, Aspack, Molebox, FSG and others are not free, and you can't easily unpack files protected by them. Patching - In most cases, this means modifying the PE file. Changing some bytes to fix a bug, or to add/remove a feature. Sometimes it also modifies registry entries. Not all patches work the same. 1. Some patches simply modify the existing file. 2. Some delete the existing and replace it with a new one. (Like Microsoft's patches and hotfixes) I don't know that game, and I don't know the patch you are using, but I think it modifies the existing file directly. Unfortunately, there is no way to uninstall the patch you applied. If I were you, this is what I will do. 1. Create a back-up of the original main executable file of the game. (Most patches modifies the main executable) 2. Apply the patch. 3. Download WinHex, install it, and use it to compare the patched and the original file. It will show you the differences between the two files (if there's any). You don't have to unpack it, because it's not packed. Tip: Download RegMon and FileMon from systeminternals and use them to monitor the changes made by the patch.

That's a great idea.

Hi. I saw some exe's that use that icon before. Why do you need to know? I have a suggestion for you. Download PEiD.

When I build my msi's, I don't ask for the original author's permission. But I make sure to include their original EULA and readme. This is my view: Alanoll modified Nullsoft's work, and ankap modified Alanoll's work. I don't see anything wrong with that. Don't feel bad dude. I think he is just trying to help. 1. Winamp is not an open source program. Most softwares are not, but we repackage them to suite our needs. 2. Nullsoft didn't release the original files for repackaging also. You guys are better than me (oh yeah I still concider myself a noob) so you should know better.

Yes it can be installed with the /S switch. But the problem is it starts the program after installation. That's why some people are having problem. I didn't try to install it using that switch though. That's why I decided to create the msi.

No it doesn't reboot my pc. I have a wonderful suggestion for you. Why don't you integrate it to your Windows installer by using Nlite?

Have you tried removing the NAV folder?

About the activation, we have to keep track of the file that is created when we activate. It can be a file(s), registry entry(s), or both. Just like the Adobe Acrobat Professional.

Actually, the "/" and the "-" are the same. You can use either. Most people are having a hard time because some guides say use "/" and some say use "-". Same as the capitalization. You can use either lower or upper case. It doesn't really matter.

I also have Nvidia driver. I didn't need to make a new setup.iss because it's already included. I simply run it with /s.
