1. Download and install nsis from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download. This will let you recompile the installation program. 2. Download and extract the VLC Windows Zip package from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html. 3. Open the vlc.win32.nsi file with Notepad 4. The component list begins at about line 502. Component look like "Section "Component Name" SEC0#. If a '/o' is in front of the component name, remove the '/o' e.g. Section $Name_Section03 SEC03 5. Change SectionIn from 3 to 1 2 3 6. That's all..compile script. If you don't want VLC to be associated with some file types, put a semicolon in front of the line containing that extension.

Thank you. Your hard work is much appreciated.

The link to the Office Updater is not working for me. Can you please update it. Tnx

I had your same problem and i resolved it as follows: My WPI files reside in a folder named WPI on the root directory of the cdrom and the programs in a folder named Applications in the WPI folder. 1) change the path of wpi.ico i.e. REM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive. Must have WPI.ico at the root of the CD. for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\wpi\wpi.ico set CDROM=%%i: echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM% 2) change wpipath from %~dp0 to the path where you have wpi folder on your cdrom i.e. set wpipath=%cdrom%\wpi This worked for me. Please let me know if this resolved your problem.

I have managed to find these two tweaks which are to make the icons of the WINDOWS EXPLORER (NOT INTERNET EXPLORER) small and make the display of the of drives and folders as icons instead of detail. SMALL ICONS [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SmallIcons] "SmallIcons"="yes" DISPLAY FOLDERS AS ICONS [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell] "Mode"=dword:00000001 "ScrollPos1024x768(1).x"=dword:00000000 "ScrollPos1024x768(1).y"=dword:00000000 "Sort"=dword:00000000 "SortDir"=dword:00000001 "Col"=dword:ffffffff "ColInfo"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,fd,df,df,fd,0f,\ 00,05,00,24,00,10,00,2e,00,46,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,03,00,\ 00,00,04,00,00,00,78,00,96,00,60,00,60,00,78,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,02,\ 00,00,00,03,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,cf,f3,a8,b0,33,43,ab,4b,88,73,\ 1c,cb,1c,ad,a4,8b,30,f1,25,b7,ef,47,1a,10,a5,f1,02,60,8c,9e,eb,ac,04,00,00,\ 00 "MinPos1024x768(1).x"=dword:ffff8300 "MinPos1024x768(1).y"=dword:ffff8300 "MaxPos1024x768(1).x"=dword:ffffffff "MaxPos1024x768(1).y"=dword:ffffffff "WinPos1024x768(1).left"=dword:00000000 "WinPos1024x768(1).top"=dword:00000000 "WinPos1024x768(1).right"=dword:00000320 "WinPos1024x768(1).bottom"=dword:00000258 "Rev"=dword:00000001 "WFlags"=dword:00000002 "ShowCmd"=dword:00000003 "FFlags"=dword:00000000 "HotKey"=dword:00000000 "Buttons"=dword:ffffffff "Links"=dword:00000000 "Address"=dword:ffffffff "Vid"="{0057D0E0-3573-11CF-AE69-08002B2E1262}" When effecting these tweaks during my unattended installation with regedit registry file through the start.cmd command nothing happened. However when I apply the tweaks when I am logged on windows these work fine. What am I doing wrong?

For me it's the same. When I install it under windows from the folder "acropr" wherein I have made the sfx executable it's OK but under unattended it unpacks and nothing happens.

Thank you XXsplit. Your guide is great.

Yes that is the problem.... everything is done in the name of your allah and of fear of allah. Nothing is done in your name or that of your people. I now consider this matter closed.

I think it is better not to involve any religious beliefs in this forum. Keep your beliefs to yourselves!!!!!!! Allah has got nothing to do with silent installs!!!!

I have managed to intall this application silently with /SILENT but could not make register it automatically. Could not trace any registry entry with the registration code. Any suggestions?

For partition magic have a look at this link. I found the last reply of this said link to work best. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=36845&hl=
