using the latest messpatch you can disable the shared folder display in my pc.

i think we will have some fun figuring this new version... beginning to try myself to see if i can repack it.

im almost sure i used the iss file but i will test it again. will post when done.

i do what i posted for every new version and is working so far. i wonder why cant you do the same.

already test the -s switch and it doesnt work for me neither. it start setup.exe does something and closes the process (all silently) but photoshop didnt report the new version change as in your screenshot. why is too complicated to update all adobe programs? hope adobe realize that they need to improve patch updating their app and soon.

this is not a stupid question, not everyone knows about this. lets get started, there are several ways for an app to store settings like config options and registration info: 1) Windows Registry 2) Application Data folder 3) *.ini files inside program folder First, you have to configure your program the way you want. many programs now have a "export config settings". they export a .reg file and you just have to import it after you silent installed the program. to import something to registry use this command REGEDIT /S regfile.reg NOTE: registry file exported by program can have other extensions like .KEY but the above commend works as well with this extension. if you dont have the export option, you have to export manually the registry keys associated with the program. basically, you have to places in the registry to store data: Local Machine/Software (for all users) and Current User/Software (for current user only). 99% of the time the registry keys are inside a Company folder (example Adobe, Macromedia etc) under Software folder in the above mentioned Hives i nthe registry. Export both for each program. In the case the program stores data in the registry and/or Application Data folder under Documents and Settings (could All users or User, or both) they again use a Company folder or Program Name folder. You have to make an SFX archive wither with winrar or 7-zip and then silent extract it after silent installing your program. For ini files in the program installed folder, use again an SFX archive to compress it and then silent extract it after your silent setup. The config files can be .XML, .CFG files or other but programmers name them something like config.xml data.xml settings.ini etc so it will be easy to find them. At last, hope this helps you. There other ways to store info for a program but these are the most common ways to do it.

nothing on this one yet?

has anyone confirmed this frm runonceex? tnx

get the full version. it is called end-user runtimes or redistributable

thanks blinkdt but i prefer to stay away from autoit for now..

its already in microsofts site for download. to install it silently just extract the files and run dxsetup.exe /silent i copy it to the hdd before running it.

@bledd that setup is for playing .divx media files? or it is the full divx decoder? thanks.

i have checked them many times and office update site didnt report any updates available. so i think it is working fine for me. you mentioned windows update. i dont know if windows update site will report them as available. check them at office.microsoft.com

well, just download the appropiate updates from microsoft and use a cmd file like mine: cmdow @ /HID @echo off start /wait .\KB892843.exe /Q:A /R:N start /wait .\KB905648.exe /Q:A /R:N start /wait .\KB905756.exe /Q:A /R:N start /wait .\KB907417.exe /Q:A /R:N start /wait .\KB913807-ENU.exe /Q:A /R:N start /wait .\KB916521-ENU.exe /Q:A /R:N exit

i think you just need to export the registry entries inside HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT that match each extension and thats it.

you have to read this guide it has everything you need to do and how to do it.

i just installed KIS on my new laptop and i confirm too that there is no need to import the registry key. i posted some topics on kaspersky forum regarding the auto reboot question, but for now there is no real answer from the developers. i hope that they release a version that doesnt autoreboot soon because i dont like to delete things from installer unless necessary...

i guess i can forget about editing it

i just use the msi released here for tweak ui. i meant to register the dll for image resizer only, not wallpaper changer (cont know if it uses a setup or a dll)

i have to say that you are right...partially. there are programs that copy a lot of file everywhere, associate extensions, register services, add merge modules, etc that are way too complicated to monitor. so its easier to run installer with silent switches, importing reg files to keep settings and using a cleanup cmd file to move/delete the shortcuts. i use some programs that doesn requiere any other files that the ones in program file, i use an SFX archive that extracts all the folders to program files and one to extract all those chortcuts in the start menu. i guess this is the best to do things...

to register a dll file just use this command: regsvr32 /u /s file.dll save it to a cmd file and put it together with the dll. that will do it.

use this switches /Q /O /Z for windows installer 3.1 and install it from svcpack.inf this is how i install it everytime.

i thought any version was capable of extracting that. downloading it now. i sont have any experience with nis scripts, only with inno setup but is very basic. i think i will try some things on scripts of some installers i have to see what comes up at the end. thanks again.

build 300 fixes some issues (i read on kaspersky forum). the switch /qn works for every msi out there but kaspersky setup (both antivirus and inernet security) have a routine that auto reboots your comp after the setup finishes. im not sure but i think that it autorebooted also in buils 299 of both. to be 100% make the changes to your msi as posted early in this topic.

for windows installer just use this switches /Q /O /Z for office, have you read the topic that someone posted with instructions to edit an xml file? search for it.
