Keep reading the thread, there is a link to an .exe on page 2 I think.

Can you remove 'My Pictures', 'My Ebooks', 'My Music' this way without them spawning again as well? Ive tried this they always seem to popup again, I cant even rename them without the originals being recreated next startup, and cant find much info on google beside to make them hidden. thanks!

Im trying to install Virtual PC 2004 unattended. The switches go as so: %systemdrive%\install\applications\VIRTUALPC_2004\Setup.exe /S /v"/qn pidkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx allusers=2 organization=YOURCOMPANY installdir=c:\programme\VirtualPC2004" but as you can see the /v" throws this off, what is the escape key?? Thanks!

I have IE script debugging in my Tweaks file, which is run from commandlines.txt But either its not working or my WPI installs happen before the tweaks are applied. If the latter I need to know how to apply this before hand. A cheap trick I could do is make a reg file be the first thing my WPI does which does the IE debug, but there has to be an easier way. Anyone know?

Usually when you install a program, you are given an array of options i.e Directory to install Full, Minmal, Recommeneded installation Your name etc etc Your serial number etc etc a silent install does this all silently. You dont have to lift a finger. Basically with a uA cd you can format your pc and have it turn on an hour later with all your apps where they are supposed to be.

Ok so further investigation determines that its a A Complete GUI NSIS Script Based Free Installer. So I used the NSIS /S switch. Installed silently, but during silent installation I got a pop-up saying ERROR with an ok button. So its not 100% working. If anyone knows of a workaround let me know otherwise this is going to be taken off. Hope this helps someone.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4313.html Cant seem to find this anywhere in the forums, yet I remember hearing about it here. Anyways it has the Quick Deployment Wizard Installer which during install points here: http://www.deepeshagarwal.tk/ Is this even possible then for a silent install? Thanks!

Ok so FINALLY fixed all this. I was mistaken about it being 2 installers, it looks exactlt like the Inno setup screen but its not, its all InstallShield. The reason I was not getting a setup.iss file is because I was following the http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/ap...stallshield.htm method which says -R. I realize now after never ever finding this setup.iss for any IS app, that its not -R, but /r http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=37796&hl= I dont know its its just wrong on the website, or if that does work with some, but /r works for me. All good now.

Overview: http://www.tcmagazine.info/comments.php?sh...ws=7647&catid=3 This is a .msi, and I can silently install it np, but the default install dir is: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\. The dir is changeable during install. but that only works for v5.0 (at least thats what it says) It says to use C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\AudioPlugins for v6.0 I dont know anyway of changing the default dir with msi, if there is a way id appreciate it. I know a lot of people just use a SFX to extract, but this msi does all the reg stuff for you, and not the actual files I dont think, as when I tried extracting to a regular dir only the video files extracted, while there was reg settings applied. Can anyone help?

For some reason everytime Alcohol installs silently, I get this pop-up about windows shutting itself down. im not 100% sure its Alcohol, but it only ever happens when I install Alcohol. It says this: Shutdown was initiated by NT Authority\System, and shuts down in a minute. %cdrom%\Software\alcohol\setup.msi /QN REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS I also have a reg file. I dont understand why its shutting me down tho. Any ideas?

Yeah I did that, I get the setup.exe which does the exact same thing. Install Shield, then Inno.

Ok I think I might have found the problem. When I first run the app it has an Installshield setup Launcher, but then turns into Inno Setup for the actual installation. I can tell as it has the http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/apps/innosetup.htm image found at the bottom of the screen. So it uses IS then Inno. this is messed. Ill try using just the Inno switches but something tells me this wont work. Ok so I watched when I ran the setup.exe it opens InstallShield Wizard, then that exits, and SSH Secure Shell for Workstations 3.2.9 Setup is then opened. This is really frusterating.

Which is the "better" method for Nero, Felix or Simonsays for a regular installation? I know Felix's requires WinRAR to be installed, and Simonsays is just a SFX, im just curious?

anyone? what do I do when installshield has no setup.iss when using the -R?

Ah thanks, was about to test my uA again without the "-" in the licensekey, glad to know im doing it right before hand. Thanks!

Thanks for the auto logon reg entry. I am using this: (not tested it yet) then I will throw a password on the newly named Admin acct. I will forego the autologin as having my password in the registry isnt exactly nice, tho I will leave it as an option if I get annoyed of typing my pw all the time. So my next question is, in the WINNT.SIF [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 If i changed this to [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=mypassword EncryptedAdminPassword=NO [b]do I change this to yes?[/b] AutoLogon=No AutoLogonCount=1 [b] what does this do?[/b] OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1 Then anyone who can read this file knows my logon, not to mention my XP CDKEY. Can I safely delete this winnt.sif after install in my cleanup script? Or should I be doing the admin password another way so that no one can read it? Thanks!

Ive had my pc with a null password for over 8 years now, no one has attacked me. My Firewall keeps me reasonably safe, and I have nothing of value on my machine, unless he wants my resume or game saves lol. Any coding source files I keep on backup anyways. Ive just never seen the need for one, im not scared about who comes onto my pc anyways. But I guess I could try it out. Please explain how a password to logon to windows stops hackers (this is not meant as sarcasm, im genuinly curious). Also, can you please outline how YOU rename your admin acct, have the pw setup etc etc? That post I linked too, seems very confusing and people keep changing their minds.

No router, use ZoneAlarm as my firewall. And I dont like having to type a password to logon to my PC. So Im guessing just use http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...l=administrator this post to change the admin name? Or is there an easier way?

I was just wondering if its "safe" to use the Administrator as my normal login? Its just a home personal PC, so Im thinking yes. As of now my uA cd boots up as the Administrator with no USER accounts made. Im just curious as to if its a safer practice to use a User acct over the Administrator in my situation. Thanks!

In the pro version you can export your settings to a .xml file. Thats how you make it.

nm, its done. Ill try taking out the ; thanks! Ill let you know how it goes.

Here is the reg file. tweaks.reg

I have a Student vers of SSH I use this: %cdrom%\Software\SSH\SSHSecureShellClient-3.2.9.exe -s Tho its never ever silent Its an Install Shield app. Ive tried using the -R tho it doesnt seem to generate a setup.iss file. So I just use the -s. Does anyone have a clue?
