I'll knock out some silent installers as well once you've done you bit, seapagan, if you want??

Try Setup=iTunesSetup.exe /S /V"SILENT_INSTALL=1 INSTALL_DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=0 ASSUME_QT_DEFAULTS=0 ASSUME_MEDIA_DEFAULTS=1 ALLUSERS=1" /w" instead of Setup=iTunesSetup.exe /S /v/qn rikgale

I just wanted to add a vote of thanx to Xpero. This was my first venture into the Xpize world and I have to say that I am very impressed. I use the classic look so I am guessing that I can't fully appreciate all the work that went into Xpize, but what I can see, I love. Also very glad that it can be intergrated using nlite which makes the whole process a load easier. I'll have to find something else to fiddle with on my uACD now.......

Just to say no probs here... sofar

I've done that. Stripped out all the XP drivers, and added BTS drvier packs in place. This can cause a few issues if you have older hardware or running on VMWare (No network drivers) There seem to be very few side affects... My hardware issue is with my mother's old printer which is nativly supported by XP so the manufacturer has no drivers for it for XP. So when installing it failed to install. Luckily the W2K drivers worked! So if you are using it on anything that is under 3-4 years old you'll probably be ok. I dont use BTS Mass storage so can't help on that last part

Ok MOON, you got me stumpped. Over to the experts...............

Do you use BTS driver packs???? If so try without the MassStorage pack, I had a similar problem on my test bed and was curred by removing the afore mentioned pack! I hope that this cures you Rik

Just out of interest, lostincybersapce2007, how noisey is you computer??, with fan seepd that high I am expecting it to be quite loud

OEM you get just the item of hardware in bubble wrap, and maybe a driver CD if lucky or needed RETAIL, you get the same item in a pretty box, with some instructions and probably a CD with some useful/useless sofware on and drivers if required, and a better warrenty. If you know what you are doing(or know someone who knows what they are doing) when it comes to computers go OEM and spend the money saved on something nice, like a good case

Search for a tool called 1365VidChng.exe place it in you system32 folder and then you can call it and pass it the screen res. and refresh rate as params. As an example...... cmdow @ /HID @echo off %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\1365VidChng.exe 1024x768x32@60 -q Get the .exe and do a /? on it to get the full list of params. Doesn't/will not work on a VPC or VMware install, but does work on a real computer as long as the video drivers are installed 1st HTH Rik

Have fun! You deserve a rest!!

You wait until they release iTunes 5.1........... Well with my installers hopefully you'll never see the screens anyway. I just have to wait until they release K-lite Mega Codec Pack 1.38 with the updated QT codecs in and then I can trash my install and start again, that's always the ulitimate test.

try iTunesSetup.exe /S /V"SILENT_INSTALL=1 INSTALL_DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=0 ASSUME_QT_DEFAULTS=0 ASSUME_MEDIA_DEFAULTS=1 ALLUSERS=1" /w" works for me

@seapagan Ok cool. So it does the same thing! I'm up'ing a silent installer with the transform in. If someone could test it I'd be greatful. I've lost count of the number of times I run a full-install on VMWare today, I could do with not seeing XP install again for couple of hours The silent, transform based, non-bonjour running, untested installer can be found here. Now you can pick which installer to add to the front page. I suggest the one the run bonjour as defualt and one of the non-bonjour installers, then ppl get a choice.

I've just this second up'ed a batch based install, would have been up before all this came about but the electrican wanted all the power off. GGrrrrrrrrr Does this .MST file just stop the service or does remove it completely. I prefer the batch method as it still installs the service, but sets it to disable so at least ppl can still use the service if they need it. I'll create a 3rd installer with the transform and up that in a bit. For the silent batch based, non-bonjour running installer go here. For the silent installer with bonjour running as normal go here.

@seapagan So you gonna post link to both of the files on the main page? My first test failed, but I am testing again atm, forgot to tell XCOPY if it was mention to be copying a file or a directory and because I am using cmdnow I never noticed, so spent trying to figure out why the install had stopped. It turned out that in a window that was hidden it was asking me a question that I could not answer. Should know if it worked in about 15 mins

Ok so you have a few years on me (about 12) I've up'ed a new silent iTunes installer to Rapidshare. This one still has the bonjour service up and running. It can be got here. I am testing an installer that will automatically disable the Bonjour service once iTunes has been installed. I'll post it up when I proved that it works

Must have been dead keen, I'll redownload and try again!!! Will post back my results. Dare I ask how old?

@seapagan PROBLEMS!!!! Yep there is a problem with the files that are posted in the first page, which consiquentley means that the install in the Rapidshare link doesn't work. I'll explain. I tried a full test run this morning with the silent installer based on your 5.0 slimed rar files and spent ages trying to figure out why. After numerious unsuccessful attempts at rebuilding the installer, I was on the verge of giving up for a bit when I decided to not bother with the installer and just run iTunessetup on a clean VMWare install. I got this error. I uninstalled iTunes5.0 on my proper machine (which I installer using the full 32Mb installer) so I could test on a machine with the most upto date version of QT installed and I got the same error when I installed using the files from the RAR files in the 1st post!! Using the version that I trimed myself (the 12Mb on metioned in the other post) it worked. So somewhere in the work of slimming it down even more things have gone of the rails, any ideas? EDIT: my other notice it that there is no Data1.cab in the original (32mb) installer?!?! So why is it asking for it now. Seems odd to say the least.

@seapagan Glad to hear that you had a good night, although still being able to type shows that you did not imbibe enough alcohol based fluid. Thanx for the batch code, saves me a lot of searching today. I'll see if I can get it to work now. Will post back later.

Lian-Li cases rock!! I have 2, PC-v1000 and PC-6077, both worth every penny, esp the v1000. However the pc-v1000 will probably set you back about a 1/3 of your budget.

"it was from PC world", kinda says it all really!! You must have been very despirate. If you search about on these fourms there was a long thread a little while back about quailty PSU's. Antec are good.

Happy one-day-closer-to-retirement day(assuming the governmenet doesn't up retirement age) Have a cracking time!! P.S. Here is a 7-zip installer for Seapagan files that are posted on the main page. This installer with not install a desktop icon and will make itself the defualt player, and it is in english only. When I work out how to disable taskes using batch script (disabling Bonjour) I shall update the installer, hope this is ok Seapagan? LINK currentely not working due to errors will replace ASAP

Thanx Seapagan I'll build up a silent installer 2morw, must hit the sack soon as have to be up early for work, joy of joys!! Many thanx again

ok no probs. .... and you proved it. WOW If you could do as you did before with 4.9, i'd be most grateful (i.e. post a .rar file with all the slimmed files in, as then I can make my own silent installer.) Cheers Rik
