    iTunes 4.9 Silent.

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    so i dont have to put anything in my RunOnceCmd.bat or whatevers it called? how is this executed?

    u still need to add one line. just call the exe. i don't use RunOnceCmd, but i think it is:

    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "iTunes 4.9" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\iTunes.exe" /f

    substitute your own path to the file.

    EDIT: IT NOW WORKS! FOR ITUNES 5. WITH SCREENSHOTS.

    I take no credit for anything, just an expansion of rikgale's guide.

    Putting everything in a central area, easy to refer to.

    This guide will make a 7-zip switchless itunes 5 installer.

    Visual

    itunesguide.gif

    Preparation

    get the following:

    - itunes installer from apple [http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/]

    - 7-zip [http://www.7-zip.org/]

    these are available in an archive in the post below

    -7zS.sfx

    -config.txt

    -its.cmd

    -makeinstall.cmd

    Steps

    1. Install a clean install of itunes using the apple installer. Install 7-zip.

    2. Configure your itunes and quicktime settings as desired.

    OPTIONAL STEP FOR PREFERENECES

    You need to get 3 files for your preferences. Get the files:

    Documents and Settings\[I]YOUR USERNAME[/I]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref"

    Documents and Settings\[I]YOUR USERNAME[/I]\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref"

    Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Quicktime\QuickTime.qtp

    The first two files have the same name, so we rename them to APiTunes.pref and LOiTunes.pref respectively.

    3. Rename the setup you downloaded from Apple, to its.exe. We do this to ensure the filename is less than 8 characters.

    4. Place all this in an empty directory.

    its.7z
    its.cmd
    config.txt
    makeinstall.cmd
    7zS.sfx
    --These files are for preferences--
    APiTunes.pref
    LOiTunes.pref
    QuickTime.qtp

    5. Select all the files except config.txt and makeinstall.cmd. Right click on any file, and select "add to archive...". Change the compression setting to Ultra, and the file name should be its.7z.

    6. You can now delete the still selected files, leaving makeinstall.cmd, config.txt, 7zS.sfx and its.7z in the directory.

    7. Now run makeinstall.cmd.

    8. You now have a file named iTunes.exe that is a silent installer of itunes 5.

    I might as well make use of this thread then...I'm thinking in terms of removing the group policy all together...that would mean no access to user rights.

    This can all be done directly to the registry at install, and if one as I are the only user that would be a good thing in a security perspective...right?

    What are your opinions in the matter, maybe I'm not thinking straight...?

    sounds good...I don't really use it anyway.
