  1. Im trying to installing silently but i cant find any switches for it. if i run it with /help it installs on %systemdrive%\help if i run it with -help it installs on setuppath\-help i cant tell wich installer is used in their setup. anyone knows something? i will try to make an sfx archive out of the folder under program files but im not sure if it will work because i believe it installs a network driver. will post is this works. its a great traffic meter and netrok monitor from www.desksoft.com
  2. i used to install Reader 7.0.7 (i use acrobat pro now) using the MSI installer in TEMP dir. just use /qn switch and thats all. if you want to compress a bit the filesize compress it with winrar and laung the setup in an sfx archive like ifmartel said.
  3. qn- is not a valid switch. you can try /qn or /qb- i ran into some problems once when i use /qn- on office i think.
  4. a lot of programs store their registration info along with thir settings in the registry. it is a good idea to export that registry key and try them on an unattended install to see if that registers them and configures them. to answer the question about office 2003, you are right, that key will register your installation. for the settings, use the values inside Office 11 in the registry and import them unattededly. usually programas store registration keys with names like Registration, Username, Key, Serial etc. use trial/error with the ones you are not sure.
  5. as i said before, just run DXSETUP.EXE with /silent switch. if you want to try to delete some files maybe you can delete x64 wich re for 64bit windows. im not sure of this as i dont have any concern on the size of my ua dvd so i keept them all.
  6. sav.msi? which program are you talking about? please be more specific...
  7. i figured out this one by myself after going crazy for days long time ago: 1) you cant use F6 drivers in an unattended windows setup. you can load them but at the finish stage you will get an error that setup cant copy the driver files. 2) the answer is to load your drivers in an unattended way. i think is hard because i cant get my SiS180 SATA Raid drivers to work properly. so try using basrat the sneaky's driverpacks or search to see if you can find the proper lines of code to add to txtsetup.sif (i really couldnt do it with my hardware so i disable it for now.)
  8. the extraction/copying to Bases folder is working since a log time for me. maybe you¡re doing something wrong with your script ot batch file. i use a winrar sfx with this commands only: Path=.\%allusersprofile%\Application Data\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal\5.0\Bases SavePath Silent=1 Overwrite=1 this works fine. also keep in mind that if you want to get the latest virus defs always download weekly updates plus cumulative so you get the defs up to the day you downloaded both.
  9. has anyone tried to monitor the setup to make an installer out of it? maybe this works, maybe dont. i hope to have some spare time tomorrow to try. tha autoit script seems too much work for a software installation.
  10. well, if you want to be able to use the tray icon i dont think registering the ax filters will do it. what you should try is to monitor the divx play bundle setup and then make an installer out of it. try installer design studio from www.scriptlogic.com. note that mercury22 posted that he used installrite and the monitonring of the setup with installrite was successfull. so, do the same then...
  11. i dont have the update file at hand now. have you tried /help switch instead of /? also search at adobe's. im not sure but i think that i posted the switch in other thread, do a search in msfn applications installs. Oh! maybe i remember now. try /srn but i cant promise it will work.
  12. i thought that switchless installers came into play when an installer cant be executed silently. so i never use a switchless installer unless a setup cant be launched silently. i asked before because i was curious. @boardbabe: it happens all the time. some days are like being a zombie at the computer without being conscious on what we're doing lol
  13. i dont remove a thing off the installer, just mentioned that i edited the setup so the settings for making it the editor of image files is deselected by default. i didnt removed a component, just changed the default options like i wanted. thats why i mentioned that is useful to use a msi editor to edit default options. i agree with you, if you dont want to remove anything and dont want to change anything of the setup, stick to the original installer.
  14. just download the 7.0.7 cumulative update and run it normally. it already is silent. just use /? to get the command that supresses the reboot prompt dialog. thats all. i have tested on my machine and it updates silently without any prompt.
  15. i know its free but i really prefer to install small files and the playbundle is around 12 mb, wich makes me go the other way around. glad you had your setup working with your custom setup. never thought of making an snapshot to see what is chaned during install, but i dont need divx, so i will keep xvid and my other decoders.
  16. why did you use ADDLOCAL switch? what is that for? for disk director suite i just grab the msi extracted by the setup (in userprofile temp folder) and use this swtiches to run it: PIDKey=x-x-x-x /qn /no restart and all works fine for me.
  17. -c stands for Comment. -r shuts down and reboot your computer -f forces the closing of running processes and programs. -t xx where xx is the time you want to wait before the shutdown sequence is started. must be i seconds. NOTE: i used between 90-120 seconds to be sure everything that i just installed silently and windows are initialized correctly before shutting all down. it all depends on how much do you installed (oh yes, i install a LOT of stuff ) -c "Your Custom Message" in the syntax it makes the shutdown window display your custom message. your msg cant exceed 127 characters. hope this covers your question.
  18. just dont get why the switchless yet, but nevermind. thanks anyway for providing it for ppl interested. to apply a-patch patches files just take the patched files from installed live messenger folder. look for the files with .bak extensions, the new ones with .exe are the ones to be included in a sfx archive. just extract them and overwrite the files after the msi with /qn or this switchless setup from shark. this way works great for the new version and the one before this one. i have tested it successfully.
  19. runonce.inf? why do you need to run that file? if you mean runonceex.cmd is another thing. to learn about it read the ua guide.
  20. the tip about launching a cmd file (with 2 or more commands on it) seems the far ou will get. as far as i know you can only launch one file in winrar sfx archives. but try searching in winrar site to see if there is something about your question.
  21. i make winrar sfx for many things and its very easy. 1) for start menu folder menu structure i keep a folder with all the folders i use (example: Design, system, DVD, Video, Audio) 2) for programs that dont need installer (many freeware apps i use. i always extract them to a folder in program files so i keep another folder like the star menu one with all the freeware so i can update them easily. 3) i have the star menu shorcuts of the freeware apps in the folder mentioned above. 4) to find out wich shorcuts a program install i test them first the use in cleanup.cmd xcopy and del commands to organize my start menu. and finally, when im about to compile my iso image, i just make sfx archives for the freeware apps (and others that use installer but i found that doesn copy other files outside their installed directory) the start menu structure and everything is neatly organized. you can use this tips i guess. good luck.
  22. just one question. is not that im knocking your installer off but is there a point to make this installer since you can unpack the msi from the original installer and use msi siwtches? i mean, if there is nothing more than the absence of swithces i dont see a point here. just wondering why a switchless insteller, no offense.
  23. @jeroeneke the .ax are filters tha can do many things. codecs use them as well as other programs. for divx playback install divx playback bundle and look for divxdec.ax (dont remeber exactly as i dont use divx) and copy to system32 and use a cmd file to register them so you can use it as playback filter. an advise, if you only want playback functionality, use ffdshow or other decoders that are free and can decode almost anything. @mercury_22 for decoding im not sure, but maybe you can try grabbing all filters installed by divx along with the folder inside program files. maybe this helps. also look in the registry for entries that have to do with divx. i personally prefer xvid wich can encode/decode avi files with same quality that divx and its free. also install silently well.
  24. if you use autoit scripts is truth. much easier to add FileDelete at the end. i use a cmd for making the final steps, deleting files, organizing star menu, cleaning temp dir, disabling zip folders and cabview and many other stuff like this that dont deserve to be put in tweaks or on other smd files i use. definitively is very useful to delte tons of stuff that are useless at the end of any installation.
  25. 1) i noticed that your're not installing framework 1.1 before 2.0 (see your runonceex 2) for java jre the options you are using in syntax are defaults, you just need to run the exe with /s /v/qn 3) for directx you just need to extract the files inside the downloaded exe and run DXSETUP.EXE /silent maybe you are not installing windows updates with your unattended installation. i suggest you to install them prior to install all kind of programs. this will may affect some programs, specially mucrosoft that requires prior patches for some stuff like directx and frameworks. hope this helps you.
