Still got a ways to go to match me So much way off topic posting.....but atleast you can see friendships (or something like that)

They are added once GM has tested them. As he hasn't tested them, they aren't added. Just download them yourself and put them in. Also, the Advanced Networking Pack won't work with XPCREATE. And you'll have to do a search for the topic discussing the DX9 update, or you could just download and use DX9c

I changed the initial starting path for the shortcut from [userProfile] to [AppData] and that seems to fix it. As for the media library positioning, if you delete studio.xnf, Winamp will recreate it and the library and everything else will be in the right place. The file is removed in the MSI on my computer. It's a minor thing, so.....I'm gonna continue with those other updates first releasing it.

"Multimedia Acceleration"?

I honestly have NOOOO idea. It's probally for when playing CDs, it ejects then or something. But that's just my guess. I don't use Winamp to play CDs I rip them, then play the MP3s lol. Hmm, indeed there isn't, in the dialog anyway it's XTRAY I must have accidentally removed it at somepoint when going through the dialogs. Will be fixed next update. Planned for next: Fix that quirck Find out about Media Library See about that /? screen, but I doubt it will work. I might have to create an entire new type of install type (Maintenace, Admin, Normal are the typical ones) for and then have a switch somewhere like HELP=1 (needs to be that as Windows Installer can't add any more switches, only properties) See if I can get it smaller. THERE HAS TO BE AN OPTION SOMEWHERE EDIT: I found out where that bloody entry is for the position of the Library. studio.xnf

Quicklaunch should be fixed now...hopefully. New MSI uploaded. I'll go through again in a few hours about the Library position. And actually, almost all entries are blanked for WInamp to create them in the INI.

I have NO idea how to accomplish that through Windows Installer. As /? would be passed to msiexec.exe. I'll look into it though. Good idea.

ok, I need to refresh before editing my post.... BonedaddyI can assure you right now, xtaskbar won't work. It doesn't exist @prathapml well, crud. There goes the language issues. oh well, hopefully the new thing fixes it. But I don't tpe the path to the shortcut in. It's a tree creating thing. Right Click, type name of folder. Like in Explorer. I'll check later (about to leave the house) about any INI settings that may affect this. I have each component with it's settings installed in a seperate folder, so it shouldn't take long to see changes.

I should point out, that I have no control over the positions. Winamp determines taht are first run. As, you specified Xfull=1. That means Modern Skin support is installed. As such, Modern Skin is enabled by default, UNLESS specified not to. Which I don't see Well, too be honest about the quicklaunch, I took a guess. And see as how there are multilingual users, that's probally the problem. The Quicklaunch shortcut gets created at %Userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch. If there is any difference in the paths on your machines, it won't get created properly. I'll see if there is another place to create it. Otherwise, I may just remove it As for overwriting the registration info....um.....I'll see what I can do. I'll perhaps need to add some conditions and see about creating a private property so that it checks if it's already present and does not overwrite. At the moment, it jsut writes what's in the property to registry (which is why I can't see what it's failing, unless user error) EDIT:: Well I'll be....I made a typo earlier. the command isn't xuser, it's xname. New MSI coming fixing the overwriting and hopefully quicklaunch issue.

i really don't wanna hear that. I want to know how to fix it so there is no need for a workaround. There is 1/3 of you that have the registrtion working.

I totally agree. Now if only this would be effective in the Unattend forum. But then again, most people not know how to use the search properly. They spend 3 minutes on one search, give up, and claim they've searched. I find most problems with most things, to be user error. If you are having a problem. Don't just assume you're right. If you mistyped something, it is user error, not switch error.

what do you mean nlite reduced installation? as long as you didn't remove Manual Support, it will still work.

well, I've already slimmed it down as much as I think possible in Installshield X. The makecab or raring is always a solution. If anyone knows any hidden features to make it even smaller, I'm all ears. But do note I have not included ANY engines in the release. Perhaps there is a compression by Component. I'll see. THere's supposed to be an option to select compresseion but I haven't found it. Can someone try using this without an nLite'd CD? I mean seriously, without a clean source, how am I to know it it's the installer or something else you've done. But I should point out, for the majoirty of stuff, I'm leaning towards user error (perhaps explanation wasn't enough however). As for the switches being case sensitive, that's a good question. I don't believe so. But I've haven't done an all lowercase switch yet. I've tried capitol X and then lowercase and that worked, and then I tried ALL capitol and that worked. @prathapml Think you could see if the quicklaunch works. As long as you don't select components, it's only the core getting installed.. @bondedaddy try redownloading. In a 30 minute window, I updated it 3 times. You may have been unfortunate in those 30 minutes. Also, you didn't post the exact line you use to install. You just said same as above. Give me the CMD line that you use to call, including all switches. X out the serial, but keep the format.

I dunno. What problem do you get? What error? Screenshot perhaps? Without more information, unless there's a psychic on this forum, there isn't much we can do to help you.

the string in SKINSETTING is taken DIRECTLY from the winamp.ini file in your WInamp directory. The two settings by default are "Winamp Modern" and "Winamp Classic". If neither are set (as in you specifiy something else), it defaults to classic as that's Winamp's natural behavior. If you don't specify anything in SKINSETTING, then it should default to Modern. As for the quicklaunch, I've been able to manipulate it. However, it would appear as though you are having problems with the QUicklaunch that are NOT winamp.msi related (WMP link for example) As for User not working, copy the code you use to start it. Since you said that you haven't tried INI yet, no reason to post the INI code for it. Give me the exact commandline, not from memory, but copy past from your files. I really don't see where there is a problem in the MSI. It takes whatever you specify for that variable, stores in in a variable, and then simply puts that variable in the registry. It does not manipulate it in anyway. It's a direct transfer.

now if only I knew how I fixed it I've only tested SkinSetting using Winamp Modern and Winamp Classic. I took the settings fron the INI file saved upon exit. Since you haven't tried the new version yet, I'm going to assum your registration is working now. I'll check the xmodernskin. But that only installs support, it does not activate it by default unless you use SKINSETTING= with a modern skin. See if the support is installed. I just silently updated the MSI. There was a bug with the out_wave.dll that the ini entries in winamp.ini weren't correct for. THey're fixed now.

mmkay, I'll remove that file from the install. I wasn't sure if it was Winamp related or not Yes the INI looks right..... EDIT:: I just replaced the download. I'm still working to get it smaller, and until I can duplicate (you telling me what you did) i can't even start to fix the User name thing (unless somehow I've already fixed). I also took care of Solid's error message. And the shortcuts should be properly created now.

@Solidasrock What is the commandline/INI file you're using? It helps to narrow down the problem. I just used Xquicklaunch=1 on a commandline call and it works, as does INSTALLDIR. I'm betting most of the switches are being caused by the INI routine, am I right? This question is to any having switch problems. And yes, even if you specify a INI file, you still need /QB. Also, to whom ever was having the Registration problems, you need to use quotes around the strings even in the INI. I'm posting the INI file I'm testing with. The only entry that doesn't take effect is INSTALLDIR simply because I just need to add it to the INI detection. Otherwise, the others appeared to have worked. winamp.ini

I just shouldn't sleep..... I sleep for 6 hours and this happens @All I'll look into the quicklaunch thing. I could have just told you the wrong switch @Solid Yeah, whoops. The first post is right. @prathapml INSTALLDIR should work, but i believe TARGETDIR is what's used. Not sure, I"ll check when I go through and fix these quircks. The shortcuts might not work as planned, I added them in last minute (didn't really test, was more concerned with winamp actually working.) As for the installer size....I'll what I can do. InstallShield X adds alot of useless info to it. Most of the tables aren't needed. And there might be a few compression options. As for the Custom screen, actually the problem is listing the switches. I can make it so just the components move, but yeah. I was adding a "switches" screen you could get to by clicking Help or something, but my laptop's screen was too small (15.4" as 1280 * 800). But yeah, I'll see what I can do. Expect a new one later.

It's already there. Very last one. "Administrative Updates"

Not possible. There are no similar files for the installs, so there is no linking.

setup when booting is a direct command. I don't believe it calls either winnt.exe or winnt32.exe. It calls setupdds.sys or something that gets the ball rolling.

that's what a log file is for. It actually tells you that it's a Unicode problem

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Winamp\winamp.msi /qb /INI="%systemdrive%\install\applications\winamp.ini" Full path must be specified in INI file. I couldn't quite get the code write to use an INI file in MSI directory or anything.
