  1. They are both imitating msiexec's icon. Hahaha!!
  2. Ctwizzy, it's not Inno Setup. That's what I thought at first. We were fooled by the icon! Hahahaha!!
  3. Hi. I tried downloading the program and I found out that it uses NSIS. Try /S switch (BIG S)
  4. Great find jroc. However, there are some factors to consider. 1. This for Creative Suite. I'm not sure if the msi if the Photoshop CS2 supports xml files. 2. This is for the VL version (volume license).
  5. well cus i think an mst just sets options like parameters where as i had to actually remove a component from the msi. i don't actually know a great deal abot it and i was only stabbing in the dark when i tried editing the msi in the first place. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, anything you edit on the msi can be done with an mst file. You can edit the mst to add registry entries, modify the public properties, remove a custom action, remove a component, etc. One more advantage of that is the file size is smaller compared to the msi, so it's easier to distribute. I have nothing against editing msi's. I also do it myself. However, it's not the best practice. That's why they make mst's.
  6. Why not just use an mst? I'm just curious.
  7. Hmm.. Interesting.. I'll give it a shot. Thanks! I only use the maxsimjobs. Just wondering how it works. I know that flashget creates multiple connections, but is it really possible to get a faster download speed than your ISP provides? For example, if your ISP gives you 750kB/s (kilo bytes) download speed, can you download faster than that if you use flashget with tweak?
  8. If you guys have the msi installer, use Wise InstallTailor to get an mst. Then download ang msi/mst editor to modify the mst and to remove the custom actions. Just a suggestion. I haven't tried it myself. I've been busy recenly.
  9. Hi. If it's an Inno Setup, why don't you just use the switch?
  10. The property is not always INSTALLDIR. InstallShiled InstallScript also uses TARGETDIR.
  11. Well, if your thinking of making an sfx for that, think again. It's gonna take longer to extract than the actual installation. What is the installer by the way? Is it an msi? I'm guessing it's an msi or a setup created with InstallShield. What are the files inside the second disc? Because if its an msi, I think you can make an admin install.
  12. This is my record.
  13. Here's the link buddy. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38802&hl= I can't really say which files are safe to delete because I dont have the original installer with me. Can you post a list of all the files? Just use DIR command.
  14. Hi. The easiest way to do that is by using an mst. About deleting other files, of course you can do that.
  15. I don't really use InstallRite. I also build my own packages but I don't use this. Capturing installation is not as easy as it looks like. 1. Everytime you capture installation, make sure that you are using a clean machine. That means you have to use a computer without any software installed other than the operating system. Others call it "prisine state". 2. When you capture a setup, you can't capture everything all the time. Or you might capture files and activities that are not really related to your installation. For example, registry entries. You don't need all the registry entries that you capture. Many more to explain. Incorrect method of repackaging will surely lead to disaster. Do a search on InstallShield's website. Search for "20 Commandments of Repackaging"
  16. It happens sometimes.
  17. Click HERE
  18. The big number of downloads is not a big surprise to me. Of course, they didnt release a new final version for a long time. They just keep releasing beta versions. It's like they're makin the people more excited for the final version (or hungrier). And even non-Opera users (lke me) will download their new version out of curiosity.
  19. I'm a Filipino, and we have tight streets in the our country. Parking like this is a part of our daily lives.
  20. Hi. I'm not really sure about your question. Do you want to run a program (or an installer) after the extraction of the sfx then run a regfile to register the app? In that case, there is no solution other than using a batch file. That is a known limitation of WinRAR and other sfx makers. They can only execute one action after the extraction. This is what you have to do: 1. Copy the installer and the regfile in the same directory. 2. Create a batch script that has this code. You can call it whatever you want, and of may edit the code to satisfy your needs. start /w yourprogram.exe regedit /s yourregfile.reg 3. Create an sfx that triggers the batch script. That's the only solution for that.
  21. Hmm.. Sounds like a brilliant marketing strategy..
  22. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/main.html http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/newfeatures.html I think it's now easier to install, because the installer is now an msi. I don't know about the activation yet.
  23. Great news. New softwares for silent installation. That's gonna be interesting.. Imagine Macromedia softwares with Adobe's method of registration.. Big problem again.
  24. It's worth it dude.
  25. simon, how did you get that link to the xml file?
