http://www.bitsum.com/wfpreplace.php Consider my problem solved, works wonders on sp3.

I only had limited time today, but i did some quick work with Process Monitor. XPlite indeed query the sfc_os.dll a lot, but doesn't write/change it. Will do some more snooping tomorrow. Just found this little gem http://www.bitsum.com/wfpreplace.php Don't know if it works on SP3...

If it were that simple i'd stumble on it while googling.

Here's the SHA1 for Greek XPPRO Retail SP3 Official MSDN release: SHA1: 254A501BABF9716F9B3C9C73CADC4900A21FB73C Find that, and you're a happy camper

I've been running some reg/file snapshot utilities, in order to find out how XPlite disables WFP "On the fly" (No restart neccesary) the way it does, but haven't been able to figure it out? What's most impressive/confusing is the fact that sfc_os.dll and the other sfc files aren't touched either. Simply replicating the added registry entries created by XPlite doesn't work. There's something else, BUT WHAT ? If there's a similar smaller utility that does this on SP3, preferrably one that can be scripted in command line, i would like to know about it. Not interested in ones that changes systemfiles, as i assume XPlite doesn't. Any suggestions ?

Thanks, great utility this ! Shouldn't Defender be on the "Other" list to ? And what about "special updates" like kb888111 etc ? A non "baseline IE 7" would be nice to have to, as many people aren't using it. For those, kb925454, the cumulative IE update is missing.

I've done some quite extensive registry snooping, and has made a "flashget.cmd" that should delete all of the google crap: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=553725 PS. I updated it 2 minutes ago.

Here's my take on it. If you have once installed FG, and also got the googlebar as an extra, de-installing it via "Add and remove programs" will still leave traces of the googlebar left in the registry. Perhaps the installer sees these "traces" and therefore think it is installed. Hence, on subsequent installations it wont get installed. I'mm gonna try it out and not use my un-installing apps that takes snapshots of the registry before and after. (which I always normally do) The md5 of that file is identical to the one from amazesoft that has the googlebar.

Did a small correction on post 9 today. The "flashget.cmd" line that removes the google folder from the "Application Data" folder should be preceeded with %USERPROFILE%, Not %SYSTEMDRIVE%. That way if a user installs it in another profile others than "Administrator", it will be removed correctly. I wonder, now when Flashget has become "freeware", what other means of income for the author are there, other than including the googlebar ? (Which I assume he gets payed for) I mean Flashget itself are no longer having adds like it use to when unregistered... I know he accepts donations, but is this all ?

Could you gimme the md5 of your flashget installer if you're sure there isn't any google stuff in it. What build is it ? Does it need to be registered ?

Download it again from Amazesoft.(Build 128). There's a tickbox where you can choose not to have it installed. Unfortunately you get it when doing it unattended No need to add any serial info though. It gets automatically "registered" to machine user. md5 of my fgf172.exe=3A80B6C9DBE8B4BD68E8F10D3025A4EB Here's how I do it unattendedly (switchless installer): Create rar sfx like this: ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=fgf172.exe /S Setup=flashget.cmd TempMode Silent=2 Overwrite=1 And create a "flashget.cmd" like this: regsvr32 /u /s "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\program files\google\googletoolbar1.dll" RD /S /Q "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Google" RD /S /Q "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google" reg add "HKCU\Software\JetCar\JetCar\DropZone" /v Show /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f reg add "HKCU\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General" /v "LanguageEx" /d "jceng.ini" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General" /v Flags /t REG_DWORD /d 1558 /f reg add "HKCU\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General" /v Flags1 /t REG_DWORD /d 4294967263 /f reg add "HKCU\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General" /v SHAREURLS /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl" /v "provider" /d "" /f reg delete "HKCU\Software\Google" /f reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google" /f reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Use Search Asst" /f reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser" /v "{2318C2B1-4965-11D4-9B18-009027A5CD4F}" /f It removes all the google crap both file and registry wise. Shareurl service disabled, default language:English Also disabled the annoying "dropzone".

When you install Flashget without any silent switches, there's an option to install the googlebar or not.(V1.72 latest) I assume if you do this with only the "S" switch, you'll get the toolbar as well. Probably has to be removed the way mazin suggested. By the way, no need to enter any serial any more, it's freeware now. Would be nice if there's a switch to not get the google crap in the first place...

Read this topic: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=78039 Perhaps this will also work: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=459714

Ok, that's a shame In powerdvd6 the data1.cab ain't that large. When I tried to execute the script, a "New" folder appeared, but there isn't any data1.cab in it ? Maybe it doesn't work on this proggie....

Hmm, noticed some apps has both a "data1.cab" and a "data2.cab". If I temporarily rename the data2 cab to data1 and run this script, maybe that works to ? (re-naming it back to 2 afterwards offcourse) Ex. PowerDVD 6

http://209.104.132.210/InstallTailor_6_0.msi

Use Setup=setup.exe -s in winrar comment i.e ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=Setup.exe -s Presetup=REGEDIT /S PowerDVD7.reg TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1 That didnt work for me , that way it does not install.( at my end ) Change this: ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=Setup.exe -s Presetup=REGEDIT /S PowerDVD7.reg TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1 To this: ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=Setup.exe -s Setup=REGEDIT /S PowerDVD7.reg TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1 That way the reg entry will be processed after setup

I'm wondering about these "add-on packs", Is this functionality already in-built into PowerDVD (once activated), or are there any other files that need to be included for these ?

Many thanks ! Works very well. Great to know.

Ok, thanks for the tip. Aha ! Didn't know that that's even better. Just separate the commands with a , or ?

I already have it (from tools archive in WPI), ehh what would I put in the cmd file to get this to work ?(an example please) I assume cmdow.exe has to be added to the archive also.

Ok thanks everyone for your help. Just did a few testarchives that executes from a cmd file. Works like a charm ! PS. I noticed if i put "@echo off" in the beginning of the cmd file, none of the entries will be shown. Is there a way to totally disable the cmd window to come up at all ? Kinda silent type..

Ok, thanks. So there's no need to put in any exotic stuff like "start /wait" between the regfile executing and the main installer ? I mean it should execute in the order they are listed, and wait until each entry is fully processed before going on to the next one. I think I saw something like this before: start /wait REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg Application.exe /S

Can regfiles be executed from sfx archives before setup runs ? I was wondering, would this work, and if so, please correct my misstakes. I add extracted installer files to an sfx rar archive. Instead of pointing the "Run after extraction" path to setup.exe, I point it to setup.cmd. In the setup.cmd I put something like this: REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg Application.exe /S Would this work ? The reason i'm doing it is because it would be neat to have it all bundled together with the sfx archive, instead of separate regfiles. Perhaps one could even execute several bundled sfx archives (all from one) this way ? I assume those archives that are bundled in the "main archive" can't extract to a temp folder, but has to be extracted directly to a location somewhere... ? Please comment, maybe the info is here somewhere, but can't find it today

Thanks ! I'm already using "Universal switch finder". It works on many, but not all proggies. Good program though. The switch page here at msfn (that you directed me to), is something like 16 pages, slow to read. If somebody could come up with something like this it would be great, preferrably like an downloadable textfile: Some proggies needs to be altered in order to work silently, i know that. Those wouldn't need to be listed. Just a tip
