I'm wondering, why so conplicatet. Just use the Switch /S Download FF 3.0.10 in your language Just use "Firefox Setup 3.0.10.exe" /S That's it. greetz PS: This only works, if FF is NOT installed! This doesn't work as update!

This is easy possible. Open your install.ini in Editor goto [settings]-Section search for splitterpos change it to SplitterPos = 0% Thats it

Hey johndoe74, i have just another question... Which program you've used for the compiled EXE? I ask for this because i would add some stuff directly to the silent-installer. Is this possible and how? TIA

Thanks man - works ferfectly. I've just added my language with a simple RAR-SFX and also disabled AutoUpdate. Now it works li a charm

Hey foen, sounds good. Have you got a new version ready? I you want, i can help you creating a english and german help document! BTW: Is it possible to use translation via language files? Like english.lng or something, for example look WIHU - languages.ini or TotalCommander. Hope to hear something from you.

Hi folks, is it possible to encrypt the install.ini and how? The reason is to prevent other users to see the paths and install-commands. Or is there any other way to encrypt installer-files or something? In many cases i use a little batch-file to install a program. I want to hide the commandlines in this file to view from other users. so long ska

Hi folks, Today I was looking for a solution to the problem with the language of "Opera" while silent installing. The "normal" silent switches are provided on several websites. But the language selection can be found very rarely. OK, long story short... The missed switch was "INSTALLER_LANGUAGE=en" Change the last two digits to your lang-id. (de, it, ru etc.) Two ways for silent installing: 1. way Download Opera-Installer (Opera_960_int_Setup.exe) extract it with UniExtract after extracting the original installer you have a different EXE-file "Opera installer.exe" use the following switches for direct installing with this EXE @"Opera installer.exe" /s /v"/qn CREATE_DESKTOP_ICON=1 CREATE_QUICKLAUNCH_ICON=1 CREATE_STARTMENU_ICONS=1 ALLUSERS=1 MULTI_USER_SETTING=1 INSTALLER_LANGUAGE=de" 2. way clear your TEMP-Folder start "Opera_960_int_Setup.exe" normally select language - next goto your temp folder search for ""Opera installer.msi" copy "Opera installer.msi" to another place exit Opera Installer use the following switches for installing with this MSI @msiexec /i "Opera installer.msi" /passive /qn CREATE_DESKTOP_ICON=1 CREATE_QUICKLAUNCH_ICON=1 CREATE_STARTMENU_ICONS=1 ALLUSERS=1 MULTI_USER_SETTING=1 INSTALLER_LANGUAGE=de U can change the values from 1 to 0 if you like other options. I hope this helps you. SkAvEnGeR

Hehe - good work. It seems to be work fine. atm.... after 10 minutes testing all works fine. Questions: Is it possible to manage programs in categories like in WIHU? please remember last path for app-selection while adding (now it starts everytime from "My Computer") How is it possible to use switches for the installers? Please let the buttons not so big. Reorganize the Windows, so that left is the long App-List, right top is the description and right bottom is the image. (I think ist more easier to handle with long lists of apps. Ok thats all for the moment. I'm very interested for new version or more infos. THX for this little big piece of software SkAvEnGeR

Hi Killgore, Thank you for this one. I have test it now. I have updated these two files -but now it works different. After running "Antivir8_AOM.exe" it unpacks itself an thats is. The script-window appears for 2 seconds. I must start the script "runonce.bat" manually. Then it works. No idea why. Trying to add the "tempmode"-Parameter in WinRAR was not working. After creating silent package the script ends and leave all files. What is the best way to fix this? Thanks in advance SkAvEnGeR

Hi Killgore, thanks for this easy and quick solution. I can't test it a.t.m., because i'm in vacancies.... After final testing i will give you a feedback. Greetz

He he, looks very nice. But.... is it possible to use systemvariables for paths like %programfiles% and %windir% instead of full paths? Because. I've made a silent installer with your tool and stored it on my DVD. Sometimes the paths on the system where i want to install it differ to the paths i uses while creating silent installer. TIA SkAvEnGeR

100% ACK Or.... just double-click on free place right after last tab - open a new tab too. Why use extensions for functions that already integreated in FF? OK - it depends on the user, who uses FF. Advanced users don't need this - noobs are happy with more buttons and extensions *gg*

Hi folks, if you want install QuarkXpress Passport 7.x silently do the following steps: - copy all the files from your Quak-CD to a lokal folder or extract downloaded installation-files - install QuarkXpress normal with all your options like key, path and your personal info - after installing Quark setup has created a new file "setup.xml" in your install-source folder - save this file to another lokation (recommended) - in this file are stored all your install-options like path, key and personal infos (you can change the infos inside, if you want) - in future use the "silent.bat" located in your install-source folder or manually create your own silent.bat with this 3 lines @echo off setup.exe /s /v"/qn" "QuarkXPress Dependency Setup.exe" /s Thats it greetz from Germany SkAvEnGeR

Thank you for this tool. I think it's really helpfully for me. I want to try out to give you some feedback.

hiho extract the installer.exe remove the file setup.iss from the unpacked folder use this : setup.exe /r /sms /f1"c:\setup.iss" to install and create your own setup.iss-file and copy this one in your unpacked folder after installing register it go to the folder where the program is installed (programfiles\Corel\...\ save the file "WD09.dta" from this folder on another place uninstall the app for silent install: install programm with Setup.exe /s /sms copy the file "WD09.dta" to the program-folder (owerwrite) have fun works for me

Hi folks, UPDATED TO VERSION 4.x - go to post #17 after a long time of searching the best solution for silent installing ConvertXtoDVD i've found a solution. 1. step: download "innounp, the Inno Setup Unpacker" from here: http://innounp.sourceforge.net/ 2. step: download "Inno Setup Compiler" from here: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php 3. step: put your ConvertXtoDVD-Installer in any folder and create a subfolder named "unpack" therein 4. step: put innounp.exe in the same folder like the ConvertXtoDVD-Installer 5. step: open a cmd-window in this path (i use TotalCommander) and type in the following innounp.exe -x -m -dunpack vsoinstallername.exe Example: innounp.exe -x -m -dunpack vsoConvertXtoDVD3_setup_3.0.0.16.exe 6. step: install "Inno Setup Compiler" you downloaded in step 2 7. step: go to the folder named "unpack" and open the file "install_script.iss" with Inno-Setup (just double-click) now you can see the original install-script. For silent install we must edit/add/remove some lines in this script. 8. step: go to [setup] section add the following line (if not exists) DefaultGroupName=VSO in the [setup] section edit the following line with your choice - write there a name for the new compiled EXE without extension (ex. OutputBaseFilename=silentinstall) OutputBaseFilename= 9. step: go to [Registry] section delete this line (if exists) Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\Digital River\SoftwarePassport\MOVAVI\MOVAVI VideoSuite\0"; ValueName: "BuyURL"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "http://www.vso-software.fr/redirect.php?site=MOVAVIVideoSuite&from=cx3"; 10. step: in the [Registry] section add the following lines Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\3.0\Settings"; Valuename: "Gen_BypassPromptForUpdateDialog"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "FALSE"; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\3.0\Settings"; Valuename: "Gen_CheckForUpdate"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "FALSE"; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\3.0"; Valuename: "LicenseKey"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-x"; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist Where the x stands for YOUR LicenseKey 11. step go to [Run] section delete all lines from this section After all these steps you must compile your script. Save your script exit the program "Inno...." right click of the script - select "compile" After all these stept you have a new EXE in the folder "Output" for silent installing this EXE with progress-bar use the following switches Example: ConvertxtoDVD_new.exe /SP- /SILENT for complete silent installing this EXE without any window use the following switches Example: ConvertxtoDVD_new.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT Thats it If all these steps are to complicated for you....see my attached file - insert YOU license an have fun. I think, now is the time for creatin a silent 7zip-sfx for this - but - i can't do this. Because i don't know, how to create switchless 7zip-sfx. install_script.iss

Thank you for this nice info. I followed all your steps an now its working. For Registration i extend the ISS-Script with the following 3 lines unter section [registry]. Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\Settings"; Valuename: "Gen_BypassPromptForUpdateDialog"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "FALSE"; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\Settings"; Valuename: "Gen_CheckForUpdate"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "FALSE"; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD"; Valuename: "LicenseKey"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-X"; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist After silent Install i have a program-group named (Default) and inside are the links to ConvertX2DVD. How can i define the real name of this program-group in the script? TIA SkAvEnGeR

I don't know, what the Problem is. Just install XP 32 on first partition. Boot from it, insert your XP 64 CD - click Install - choose new install - select "copy all files from cd to harddisc" - wait - reboot - setup of xp 64 starts within DOS, select second partition - install. After installation you have two entries in yout boot.ini and while booting you can select, what OS you want to start. OK?

Yes, it is! dual-boot x64 and a x 86 os on a single hdd is simply possible - but you must use two different partitions! ska

Bix thanks. Works fine.

hiho, to make foxit the default viewer for pdf-files is used this simple way: MAKE_DEFAULT_PDFVIEWER.CMD @echo off FTYPE FoxitReader.Document="%programfiles%\Foxit PDF Reader\FoxitReader.exe" "%1" ASSOC .pdf=FoxitReader.Document For installing it, i use a rar-sfx Here the options for my sfx Path=%programfiles%\Foxit PDF Reader SavePath Silent=2 Overwrite=1 Shortcut=P, "FoxitReader.exe", "", "", "Foxit PDF Reader" Hope this helps you.

Hi guys, here is my solution for a fast dual-boot. If you have single harddisk: you must have one primary partition for each OS. You can create or modify your partitions with "Symantec Partition Magic", "Acronis Disk Director Suite" or something else. If you want Vista installs first - do it on first Partition. After installing vista boot with any tool-cd or Acronis DDS or use any other partitioner to make your first Partition invisible. The boot from your XP CD and install XP on the second partition. After install of XP is ok boot any partitioner and set your first partition again to visible. After reboot vista starts. Now go to http://www.boot-us.com/ and get this fine free boot-manager. Install is simple. Its freeware. Then after next reboot you have a simple way to select your booting OS. But be careful: If you have different OS on two or more harddisks, you nee the full-version (costs 15 €). I think its possible with other free bootmanagers too. "Boot-Us" was my first choice and a need only 10 minutes to install and configure (under Windows). OK. If you give us more information about your system and your plans on what partition of what disk you want what OS install - its more easier to help you. Greetz from cold germany

[quote name='LeveL' post='725146' date='Jan 1 2008, 03:38 PM']Six of one and half a dozen of the other if you had to create the extra file "setup.iss" to put the serial in. [/quote] Sorry, can you explain, what you mean with this? I'm from germany and cannot understand english slang.

Nope, by creating the setup.iss-file the serial is included after finishing install. For that i not need to add any reg-file or something. The serial and owner are included in the setup.iss [code]... [{21DBBDD6-93A5-4326-9A04-C9A5C9148502}-SdRegisterUserEx-0] szName=Ein Anwender szCompany=privat szSerial=PM805EI1-xxxxxx Result=1 ...[/code] so long

After reading all posts in this thread.... i've found my solution. I have a folder containing the MSI-file, the setup.exe and some other files (no single setup.exe!) start SETUP.EXE /r install the App, give the serial and finish the installation copy the setup.iss-file from Windows-folder (created by the /r-parameter) to the folder that contains the setup.exe. now just start SETUP.EXE -S (setup.exe /s /f1"setup.iss" not working) its silent. yeah.
