    SFXMaker 1.3.1 Final - a Switchless Installer maker

    in Application Installs

    Posted · Edited by urie

    I make a quick test and is a good tool right now. But how about making the switchless installer from a folder and then specifying the setup file to launch and its switches?

    I tried to compress an entire folder using a folder as installer path and writing the setup.exe /switches in the switches. Your program compressed the files well but it couldn't launch the setup.exe file saying it wasn't found.

    If you can work on this, it could be great for people like me that makes repacks or admin installs. This way, you can make your program to compress an entire folder and then launching a setup file.

    There is a small tool quite old called SFX Tool http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=projects#sfxtool that will allow you to repack folders

    SFX Tool, a nice and intuitive frontend, allows you to generate and compile NSIS scripts.

    This way you can create installers with no need to write a single line of script code.

    just wish the author had kept it going.

    Yea i would also like if iuli_kyle could incorporate some of the features as in sfx tool.

    Packard bell SLP installation, without oem cd's..

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Hi!

    First of all... Thanks for the prompt answer!

    I've already tryied to install an xp mce 2005 oem cd and use the code on the bottom, but it not work!

    Reading on the net, i've seen that SLP systems have all an unique product key serial used for the installation, different from the one on the bottom.

    I've read that this is normal on SLP systems, that have 'something' in the bios to activate the copy.

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks!

    PsiMoon314 is wrong packard bell can be activated with correct disk you need oem bios files for packard bell, here are a few links to look through.

    have a look here for more info http://forums.mydigitallife.info/forumdisplay.php?f=5, P.S. you will have info in bios i,e, SLP string you are just using wrong disk

    Vista Activation and OEM

    in Windows Vista

    Posted

    I have a HP laptop with vista home premium. I want to do a clean reinstall, I know that I vista dvd has all versions in it but the question that I want to ask is that, can msdn vista Image sp1 integrated accept OEM key.

    If I want to put my activation certificate, then where in dvd folder should put it?

    I have backedup my key and certificate with the help of utility given at notebookreview.com.

    Yes MSDN vista sp1 image should do or vista rtm

    ust follow these simple steps to intergrate the Product Key and OEM cert:

    Extract your Vista DVD and inside the Sources folder create a new text file and copy paste the text below inside and save the file as PID.TXT

    [PID]

    Value='Enter Product Key Here'

    Now take your OEM XRM-MS file that matches your key and copy the file to:

    SOURCES\$OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32\OEM

    If the $OEM$ and subfolders dont exsist, create them.

    Burn the contents as a bootable DVD and you have your OEM disk!

    P.S. you can use ultraiso to open iso and add $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32\OEM folder to SOURCES folder along with your your PID.TXT file

    Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Found this on MS Technet forums Don't Slipstream it in Vista.

    "I know, it's weird, but do it in Vista, and XP SP3 will not accept your valid VLK when you're installing XP."

    Why would anyone do that anyway??? The setup program calls setup API's from the currently installed Windows version FIRST, before using its internal setup mechanism. I did it in a Windows PE version built on Windows Server 2003 R2, where there is no Windows Setup API's loaded as part of the OS, and it worked fine (Windows Server 2003 has the same basic kernel as Windows XP).

    How to totally remove unused editions from vista dvd?

    in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008

    Posted

    my question was if i have 6 versions of windows vista on a disc could i delete the versions i do not use.

    if so, how do i do it?

    hopefully that made it clearer :)

    Mount and Export the images you want to a new .wim. I get Ultimate out of the rest

    All 1 line

    D:\VistaUA\Tools\x86\imagex /export /check /compress maximum D:\VistaUA\uaDVD\sources\install.wim 4 D:\VistaUA\uaDVD\sources\installnew.wim

    Then delete original install.wim and rename installnew.wim to install.wim

    Good reply Maxx, i thought these forums were about learning how to do unattended installs i,e, information learn the basics first not to push every one to nlite or vlite .

    vista license will expire in 6 days?

    in Windows Vista

    Posted

    it was preinstalled

    its home premium updated to sp1

    i would have called dell by now, but im not too fond with dealing with customer service

    edit: iirc, i didnt have to enter a key when i reinstalled

    did you also get dell vista OEM even though it came preinstalled is so you shouls have used the key from the PID.txt file id sources folder or used a kefinder to get your key from the machine that way you wouldnt have to activate online which happens when you use the key from the Certificate of Authenticity at the bottom of the laptop.

    found a good program that does the job if anyone needs... takes a snapshot of your computer, you make some changes, then takes another snapshot and compares what has changed and makes a .exe that makes them changes on any computer..

    http://www.epsilonsquared.com/

    nice free software... hope someone finds this useful

    yes installwatch is one of the better programs just a shame the developers didn't take it further, i use it myselfe. not fully compatible with Vista well the one you download :whistle:

    unattended install question

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    When I started the install and clicked on the icon in the first install screen I didn’t get the “about” choice. Is there any other way to find out what the installer is?

    download cMenu by MHz his web page sems to be down at the moment so here is another download link posted on these forums.

    Making Nero 8 a silent install

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    run the setup file first and dont install.

    go to temp dir and copy the NERO13820 dir somewhere.

    put this cmd file inside NERO13820 dir and run it.

    neroinstall.cmd

    @echo off
    title Nero 8.1.2.0
    echo.
    echo Updating DirectX 9c Redistributable...
    start /wait Data\Redist\DirectX\dxsetup.exe /silent
    echo.
    echo VCR...
    start /wait Data\Redist\VCRedistSetup.msi /passive /norestart
    echo.
    echo Nero XML...
    start /wait Data\Redist\neroxml.msi /passive /norestart
    echo.
    echo KB884016 v2...
    start /wait Data\Redist\WindowsInstaller-KB884016-v2-x86.exe /passive /norestart
    echo.
    echo Installing Nero Premium 8.1.2.0...
    start /wait SetupX.exe /qb! /NORESTART RebootYesNo="No" NERO_SCOUT="FALSE" serialnum_userval="---your-serial---no---" AgreeToLicense="Yes" EULA_AGREEMENT=1

    if /passive used instead of /qb!, it asks for restart.

    finally, use 7zip or winrar to create installer and repack to the normal size.

    7zip installer : http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?...&highlight=

    I can't find the temp map where nero extracts his files too. Can someone tell me where this is so i can put the extracted files on dvd so the installation will take less time.

    Nero folder is extracted to:

    C:\Documents and Settings\**Your Name**\Local Settings\Temp

    UltraISO v8.6.3

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    @radix

    Thanks radix

    your Script works perfectly :thumbup Do you have one For 'IDM 5.11.4' Please ?

    In fact i use AutoIt Scripts as last option i have because i can't hide the program setup screens

    @urie

    Thank you Very much i found what i looking for

    the only different i made is replace "/SILENT" with "/VERYSILENT" and it work completely silent and then import the .reg file

    and i have a question for you: From where you get this SWITCH (/MERGETASKS="!isodrive") ? please

    I found the MERGETASKS="!isodrive" switch on EZB forums in UltraIso thread a while back.

    http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi

    also you dont really need reg file either you can use uikey.ini some Notes below,

    Use UltraISO in USB Key or CD/DVD-ROM

    1) Create a text file, name it as uikey.ini, enter the following lines:

    ;===================

    UserName='xxxx'

    Registration='yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy'

    Language='zzzzz'

    ;===================

    Where 'zzzzz' is the item name of UltraISO's "Options"->"Language" menu.

    UltraISO will never ask for registration code and set the proper language if uikey.ini is found in the same place as ultraiso.exe.

    2) Languge files

    Step 1: Make a sub-directory named "lang" in the folder where ultraiso.exe located

    Step 2: Copy the language DLL file from "c:\program files\ultraiso\lang" to this directory.
