Well, well, I found another problem: & What about this character? If one has this entry, e.g.: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Spybot Search & Destroy" /f it does not show right in the RunOnceEx window. I have tried the edit.com method but & is always & in notepad. I have tried this - ^& - but it also does not work, so I don't know what to do. Any help, please? Thank you in advance

Thank you all. SymonSays suggestion worked perfectly. Thank you Vad, I will keep this record for future reference.

Well, with me it works perfectly. I have portuguese version of Firefox. Could you try and replace Reget Plugin by Flashgot and see what happens?

Vad, Can you point me a text editor that can save in DOS 866 encoding? I followed your link, downloaded the first program - Syn - but I don't see where can it save as dos 866. A tried also with notepad++ without success. I searched google, but almost all of the sites are in russian. Thanks

How can I do that?

Hello all. I have my RunOnceEx almost perfectly going, so now I am looking for little detais. This is a RunOnceEx screenshot. My windows is in portuguese, and I have a RunOnceEx entry that says "A associar extensões" (Associating extensions). That character "õ" doesn't appear right, so I would like to ask what have I got to do to make RunOnceEx show foreign characters. I searched the forum, but only found problems related to foreing characters appearing in links.

Nilfred, Could you add comments to the reader7.reg, so it is easier to understand what each tweak does and which ones are mandatory or not, so that each person can choose which tweak to apply? After some fishing in the board (specialy here), I have this in my reg file: ;removes adobe updates [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Updater] "bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000 "bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000 "iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000 ;Adobe Reader 7 - Hide Yahoo Search Button [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\AVGeneral\cToolbars\cWebSearchView\cPositions\cInternal] "bHidden"=dword:00000001 "iDockPosition"=dword:00000000 "iLayout"=dword:00000000 "iOffset"=dword:00000000 "iOrder"=dword:00000000 "iStack"=dword:00000000 "bWindowHidden"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\FeatureLockdown] ; "bEFIPrintMe"= Remove the "PrintMe Internet Printing" menu item on File menu.

"bShowAdsAllow"=dword:00000000 ; Disable Adobe EULA [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\AdobeViewer] "EULA"=dword:00000001

This subject interests me, but see this topic.

Thank you very much. That was it

I am helping a friend to do his unattended install of Office 2003. I follow the guide step by step and everything goes ok. If I click on setuppro.exe it starts a normal install. But when I run this line setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- it gives this message with this title: Title - Windows XP Configuration Message - Go to control panel to install and configurate system components (The OS is in portuguese so this is a translation) I found out that I have the same message if I click directly on "setup.exe" located on "\Windows\System32" What is happening? Can someone help?

Hello. I request help for my second AutoIt script, which is for Outpost Firewall 2.7.485. I am having some difficulties I can't pass. 1- The installation presents 2 windows with hidden buttons (information provided by Autoit Window Info) which I can't activate with the usual command - ControlCommand("blablabla", "blablabla", "Button1", "Check", ""). They are Window with titles: - Create New Configuration - Configuration Wizard I passed those windows with - Send("{TAB}{TAB}{SPACE}") - but I am not happy with it because it is not so precise. 2- My second and biggest problem is that second window - Configuration Wizard. It has a progress bar and only when it reaches the end the greyed button becomes clickable. Since the title and text is the same, before the command - Send("{TAB}{TAB}{SPACE}") - I had to put - Sleep(100000)- because sometimes it complets in 20 seconds and sometimes in 80 seconds. But this is not satisfiing with this. 1-How can I check those hidden buttons? 2-How can I avoid the sleep command? This second is solved. I found that Edmoncu had a script for Outpost 2.5 that with some adaptations solves my problem: here

I have now started playing with Autoit and making installation scripts that have visible windows during RunOnceEx. Would the content of this thread be of any help in hiding the sucession of windows during the install of a program? There is a topic about this problem, but with no success: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=44145 Thanks

Hi, Thank you for this great program. It worked at my first attempt. I have just one question: is it possible to change that ugly default install path - Ahead\Nero - for anything we want?

open the iss file using ISTool, click on "options" in the toolbar, then select the Program Group tab and add the directory you want to use to the "Default Group Name" box, which should be blank which is why Default is created. Thank you, Benners, now I get it. Finally, I built my firts perfect Inno Setup the way I want. I thought I could try this info with the only software that I cannot choose where to install: Flashget (which is a Wise Installer). So I unpacked the install pack and did this: First try: I ran Inno Setup Script Wizard, choose only 1 file - Flashget.exe - choose install path and start menu icon and packed. Tested and Flashget did work!! With only 1 file. Of course it did not have other languages, skins, sounds or any ohter dlls. But it works. Second try: Selected all the files from the original extracted Flashget installer, recreated all of the paths looking at an already installed Flashget folder, repacked and tested. It the first try worked, this also works. My question is this: is it so simple to recreate an install pack??? Am I missing something? I am not installing any registry keys that the real installer writes. But the program works!

Hi, I just finished my shrinking and all went well at the first time . My only question is this: Office Shrinker gave it's final info: New size on disk: 128 MB. But if I see the properties of c:\Office, the indicated size on disk is 173 MB (I choose Word, Excel and Power Point). It also tells it copied 1043 files, but the directory has 1053 files. Is this a problem?

Hi, Still there is no hacked file for SP2?

1- Shame on me I should have read more carefuly the first post! I imported Reader7.reg. But now I can say: It works with portuguese version! Both full and light. 2- In light version one just have to replace this line: for this And it doesn't copy rt3d.dll. But everything seems to be working. 3- it_ybd Thanks for your suggestion, but it is not working also. So, for now I removed the space. 4- And my line is as follows: ECHO RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i %MsiName% /qb EULA_ACCEPT=YES INSTALLDIR=c:\Programas\Util\AcrobatReader\"">>config.txt The program installs where I want to and does not show EULA at first run. The EULA trick I tooke from here. 5- Nilfred, what exactly do those tweaks from Reader7tw.reg? Thank you all for your help.

Two things: 1- I tried with portuguese version. All went ok, but after installing, the version installed is 7.0. This is very strange because AcroRd32.exe and AcroRd32.dll are version 7.0.1. 2- After Nilfred suggestion and some search, I am using this line: ECHO RunProgram="StartX.exe /WAIT \"msiexec /i %MsiName% /qb\ INSTALLDIR=c:\Programas\Util\AcrobatReader\"">>config.txt How can I insert a space between Acrobat and Reader? I know it has to do with blackslash but I cannot get it right.

I am testing the knowledge from this thread with the latest Spybot Search & Destroy version 1.4. I use the latest InnoSetup version 5.1.4. When I try to compile, it gives an error: "Line 200: Parameter "Types" includes an unknown type". It is as if Spybot installer was incompatible or more advanced than InnoSetup. Has anyone any idea? Thanks

It works perfectly well with the best browser: Firefox Thanks, Nilfred and it_ybd, I will try to study things and see what happens. I will give news later on. Nilfred, I can edit my post, as you can see. The button is in the same place

Is there anyway of creating a final file that install in a choosen directory (eg. c:\Programs\Util\Adobe\etc...)instead of the default one? Thanks

This link is still working. I downloaded the file 10 seconds ago. Thank you

Hi, I found this post and decided to test it's knowledge with the latest SpywareBlaster 3.4, that doesn't support anymore silent installs. I downloaded the latest Inno Setup (5.0.8) and Innounp (016). It's so easy!! I even can choose the install path for the program! I have only one problem with the Group icons: I don't want to put them in »Start»Programs»SpywareBlaster but in a choosen group. So, inside the script, I go to [Icons] Name: "{group}\SpywareBlaster"; Filename: "{app}\spywareblaster.exe"; Name: "{group}\SpywareBlaster AutoUpdate Configuration"; Filename: "{app}\sbautoupdate.exe"; Parameters: "-config"; Name: "{group}\SpywareBlaster Help"; Filename: "{app}\sbhelp.chm"; and add: Name: "{group}\Defense\SpywareBlaster"........... But after compiling and installing, the group icons appear as: »Start»Programs»Default»Defense and not as expected »Start»Programs»Defense What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Well, if I did that it would not be an unattended install, would it ? By the way, I played around and found out that I can't proceed the way I wanted, because it doesn't stay registered after I move it to the folder I want. I have to re-register the filetypes. So, now Quicktime Alternative install Media Player Classic and after, with cleanup.cmg file, I move it to where I want to and register the filetypes. This may seem newbie thoughts, but I am newbie! And I am so happy: I found by myself how to move a program with a batch command. A week ago I didn't know what a batch was. I have just one (another) newbie question: I use MOVE command to move this from one place to another. And I use "*.*" to move all files in a certain folder, but it doesn't move sub-folder. How can I move everything with one command? Thanks
