Hello all! I was wondering if any of you did thid before. I'm trying to get the driver version installed on fresh installed machine. I know about some utilities like devcon, driverquery and filever, but they are very hard to work with and i get too much stuff generated by these utils. Is there an autamated way to get what's inside the device manager for specific device such as NIC and Video and the driver version installed.... Thank you all!

I guess adding a line here would put the post on top of list....

Installshield Tuner for Acrobat is for version 6 only.... nothing for 7 What is your full blown MSI editor? Is there any free MSI editor that creates MST file?

I'd like to have more information how to do that Tried REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\UserInfo /v UserInfo /t REG_BINARY /d %%UserName%% Says "Too many command-lines in parameters" Tried with BINARY data such as 00010101 and it works..... so it really needs a BINARY data.... how do I convert STRING TO BINARY? Thank you!

Anyone knows if there is any log file that setup creates? I've launched setup file with .ini file with File Monitor, but havent found. We're using some kind of control on our setups, and .log file is very useful to know if a setup has completed succesfuly. Thank you!

First of all, this topic should be moved to "Application Installs" subforum Since it's a Nullsoft Installer the working switches are: (found on their website) Which command line parameters can be used to configure installers? /S - Silent installation /D=C:\Bla - Set output folder /NCRC - Skip CRC check Note that command line options can be disabled by the author of an installer. So maybe, Instant Messenger disabled them......should you send them an email....

Nope.....tried this one a lot of time.....

Hello all. I've searched a lot on this, tried a lot of time, but haven't found yet. Dealing with file comparison software (Araxis Merge) to get the tweak to get the small icons in the classic start menu of Windows XP. Anyone achieved this one? Thank you!

You migh consider adding 2 ligne to your cleanup.cmd so all user can benefit this REG LOAD "HKLM\User" c:\Doc And Setting\Default User\NTUSER.DAT REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v StartMenuAdminTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f REG ADD "HKLM\User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v StartMenuAdminTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f REG UNLOAD "HKLM\User" That way, default user will have it, and the current user too

Well im not disapproving what u are doing...if you want your Firefox installed with tweaks the way you like it... thats fine... But in my case, i dont need these...i want something very easy with the default settings... i dont want to specify a lot of setting for my users in my corporate environment.... What i needed was something very easy without any tweaks. In my case, i guess im lucky... worked with that MSI

Well...just to make sure...i did AGAIN a reinstallation of Firefox Checked - Not in Add/remove CPL Checked - Not any shortcut Start Programs, Desktop, QL Checked - No Mozilla folder in Program Files And again.....it runs flawless... So there is something wrong on your side.....

Camtasia from Techsmith Well i don't care what exactly it does..... The 2 things i wanted are there #1) Official from mozilla.org installer #2) Installe with simple switch /qn or /qb This is much more simple than any other method found in the topic, or using some unofficial build.

As promised, here is my video of Unattended /qb installation of Firefox Enjoy... this is a great movie done on a Precision 360 Windows XP SP2 with latest hotfixes #1 Codec #2 Video Enjoy!

I DO insist on my point....since i dont wanna look like a newbie IT DOES WORK Just retried it again on my RIS installation, the MSI i got from here DOES WORK with the traditional /qn switches Just try it again.... And if you are not conviced about that.... i gonna make a video to prove it

have u tested that /qn /qb it does not work u did not read my post /Qn works fine for me.... tried on my RIS unattended setup

I'm not sure of what u mean by this What is REG.EXE and how i use it, and when i use it? Thank you!

You know when you are launching for the first time any Office apps (Word, Excel, etc) from a newly created user profile, the installer start and then ask for a Username and Initials I found where this information is located....the problem is that the information stored about the user (name and initials) is stored in HEX !!!!! Key located in: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\UserInfo] I know this could be very easy to just enter anything there and then copy the whole key and load it in the .reg file that loads from the cmdline.txt. But, in my corporate environment, these key are very used for our template file. Thank you!

Hello all! I got a strange behavior related to the Administrative Folder First of all 1) I DO have enabled the "display Administrative Tools" in the Classic Properties of the Start Menu 2) I want to get this folder into c:\DocAndSetting\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Utils instead of the typical c:\DocAndSetting\All Users\Start Menu\Programs 3) Got a line in my cleanup.cmd file the contain the following code MOVE %AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools %AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Utils The problem is: #1 It keeps, for some reason, a copy of the original folder in the start menu. So i have one directly in Programs folder, and another one in Program/Utils #2 -The one in the Utils folder contain all the link to the admin tools such as "Service, etc. -The one in the Program folder is empty. And the administrative tools that is found in the control panel is EMPTY too!!!! Anyone has a clue on this one Thank you all!

Ok...after reading 20 pages of this post here... here is what i can see There is REBUILDED version of Firefox... There is REBUILDED unatttended version of Firefox... But havent found yet a way to just command line it like other app. Is there any FirefoxInstaller.exe /qn That just plain install it without some tweak that is not much usefull for corporative environment What kind of installer is the original installer? What are the switch for? Thank you!

Using Orca, Go to the Shortcut Table, all 3 are listed there. Just right click on each one and select Drop Row. Then resave your msi. Yup i tried with ORCA to get the property name, and got them.... But i don't want to modify my MSI
