I have made some admin installation point of some programs, but it came to me that i would rather prefer to have them in a single msi installer. is this possible? i use AIP's to patch and update some programs and use them silently but if there is a way to get a single msi out of and AIP it will be great for me. thanks.

Please excuse my ignorance, but how is this input. Putting it in a "reg" file and inputting doesn't work. Do you have to remove the brackets ? you have to put this on the first line of a reg file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 then your commands and save it. thats all.

you can use an msi editor like MS free ORCA (i prefer Installer Design Studio from ScriptLogc) and edit the per-use/machine configuration of the msi without any problem. so when you install your program, it will be installed for all users. also, msi setup have some arguments, i believe that you can use switch ALLUSERS=1 but i dont know if it will work with any msi.

has anyone confirmed edmoncu script? i didnt had the time to test those scripts myself. thanks for shring them with us. will try them as soon as i get some time off work.

im missing iconpackager silent install in my ua dvd. i didnt searched for it yet, so any help will be great. about the themes im not sure but maybe someone knows something.

you're missing the final quotes on every command. should be like this: REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\netfx11sp1\netfx.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\netfx20\install.exe /q" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Microsoft DirectX 9.0c Abr 2006" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\directx\dxsetup.exe /silent" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Microsoft IntelliPoint 5.5" /f REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\Programas\intellipoint\ip55.msi mm=14 /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /f for cleaning and deleting add this at the final lines of your scrip just before EXIT: REG ADD %KEY%\200 /VE /D "Cleaning & Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\200 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\cleanup.cmd" /f cleanup.cmd file can contain any commands you want to run. i strongly recommend you to read the whole unattended guide to get this kind of things to work.

i think i didnt understand you quite well. maybe you should try to change windows default installation path to the path of your choice. so whenever you install something it will be installed to that path instead of Program Files. this way works for all setups, but im not sure if this is what you are looking for.

any news about your project bishooman? me willing to help you...

i never had any problem with kaspersky anti-virus nor kaspersky internet security. that kind of problem sounds like maybe windows went crazy on some drivers (too bad this hapens kinda often sometimes). try uninstall/install of all your drivers to see if that corrects the problem. you didnt posted what processes were eating your cpu/memory. if this happens, normally, they are the problem and the solution, just reinstall the program(s) that are eating resources. the last solution, stick to The Windows Golden Rule: "if the problem is not too bad, reboot. If the problem is critical, reformat."

i recommend you to wait a little longer because after setup finishes the pattin-couffin driver gets installed and maybe or maybe not it can interfere with the launch of vsostart. thats why i up the wait to 40 seconds. i clocked a normal install. also, have you get it to work finally? hope you did.

in the script i posted i used 40 seconds, wich is enough for me and my comp. maybe you should try a litlle longer, or did what i did: count seconds when installing to give you an idea of how much you will need sleep.exe to wait.

Ok i tried your method , but id did not work. it still pops up i use this method and it should close the popup after XX seconds in sleep.exe. that why i called sleep.exe before runnning the kill command. works for me right now. it installs, and then pop up comes out, sleep.exe waits xx seconds (i use 40 seconds) then the pop up closes. all unattended.

have you tried this? also, is the registration windows appearing when setup finishes? thanks.

place it along with all the files inside copytodvd folder. can be placed anywhere you want. if you use it with other batch files copy it to system32 and just call it "sleep.exe XX" without the quotes.

glad to see that i wasnt the only one looking to install vobsub 2.23 silently

i searched for a silent install switch but couldnt find any. i always can register VSFilter to display subs but i wanted to use VobSub so i can have submux, subresync and other stuff. not just the filter for displaying subs. here's what you need to do in order to make an installation of VobSub 2.23 with everything 1) install normally Vobsub 2.23 2) grab DVobSub.ax and vobsub.dll from System32 and copy them to a folder of your choice 3) copy the shortcuts in start menu to a folder of your choice 4) export this registry hives: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VobSubFile] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.idx] 5) copy submux.exe and subresync.exe from Programfiles\Gabest\VobSub and copy them to a folder you have now everything you need. now its time to choose a method to do the installation. i prefer making msi's with caphyon advanced installer but you can use another msi authoring program or winrar/7-zip SFX files. here are the steps so you can use whatever you want 1) you need to copy submux.exe and subresync.exe to Programfiles\Gabest\VobSub 2) you need to copy vobsub.dll to System32 3) you need to copy DVobSub.ax to System32 4) you need to register DVobsub.ax (regsvr32 /s DVobSub.ax for command line if you want to use winrar with a cmd file to register it). can be registered automatically using some msi authoring programs. 5) the shortcuts you copied can now be put anywhere you want 6) to register .idx just import the reg hives i told you about (this is for having right-click options in idx files) i hope all the steps are easy to understand. if there is something unclear please post and i can help more... enjoy.

below is the sleep.exe i use, just extract it. to import the settings just export this two hives in the registry: 1) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VSO\CopyToCD] 2) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VSO\CopyToCD] thats all. sleep.rar

i've made a cmd file and works great for me. i import settings and all. check it out. cmdow @ /HID @echo off start %systemdrive%\Install\copytodvd\copytodvd.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\copytodvd\sleep.exe 40 start /wait taskkill /IM VsoStart.exe start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\copytodvd\shortcuts.exe REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\copytodvd\settingslocal.reg REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\copytodvd\settingsuser.reg exit all you have to do is to have all referenced files in the sema folder as the cmd file. for sleep.exe download someone on the internet. i cant remember wich one im using. all out there should work (as long as they use the syntax in the cmd file i wrote).

i proposed staxrip because it can handle different codecs, different audio formats, different containers and can decode/encode almost every format out there. the interface is great, its easy to use and understand. -mediacoder: lots and lots of bugs and errors, still work to do. still works sometimes. supports almost the same feature set of StaxRip, but Stax's interface cant be beaten for now. -all shareware or freeware converters (the kind of stoik): tons of them cant even let you control mp3 audio bitrate, so whats the point in using them. StaxRip is the closest you can get to a really multimedia converter. name it, DVD, VOB, DV, AVI, MPG, OGG, MKV, MP4 all are supported. this topic is a good video converter, here's my suggestion.

have you tried /quiet /norestart ? maybe /passive can handle the /norestart switch. just a thought.

i dont use windows desktop search. why you put quotes around the switch /norestart? try without the quotes, they are not necessary. also have you tried to extract files from the archive?

if you want the best out there try this one: StaxRip. it converts video and audio among many formats including DV (digital video cameras). can convert from any source to avi(divx,xvid), mpg(using external encoders), mp4(x264 with acc audio, even 5.1 channels) and more. with it you have control over quality, compressibility, crop, filters, resizing, deinterlacing, aspect ratio among many other things. its freeware. www.free-codecs.com and search for it.

www.netlimiter.com and can limit bandwidth per program.

i use diskeeper for defragmenting my drives. but noticed that a folder SYSTEMTOOLS is created in C:\ and other times i saw it on the root of all of my drives. inside there is nothing more that a shortcut to launch diskeeper. nothing else. i delete it. once in a while when i open microsoft console or diskeeper to launch a defrag of my drives i get a "installshield wizard is configuring...." window of diskeeper. i wait until it finishes the so called "configuration" and then the annoying SYSTEMTOOLS folder is back with that darn shortcut file inside. is there a way to get rid of it? is it a bug of diskeeper? any ideas? its driving mad. thanks.

im having this issue with tuneup utilities. i've exported my key and then imported it unattended but when i open the program i have to register it. maybe there's a bug or something with tuneup.
