hey there, what would be the best method to import registry tweaks? I use only .reg file which includes HKLM and HKCU tweaks

Hey there, is it possible to edit a InstallShield based setup? Don't want to turn it into a msi file, just want to set some values as default tks

what software can I use to repack setup and make it work?

actually, it's pretty use to find in other places...

well, that's ok but now I have another question... the big problem is the License Agreedment, it's the only screen setup shows, so I need to find a way 'to silently press the OK button' I could use AutoIt for it but I don't know how to pass InstallShield parameters through it (don't know if I'm being too confuse)

I found where my problem but not the solution in setup.iss file there's keynames for all needed inputs except one any tip to find it's name?

well, that's the problem... it's a InstallShield setup but if I set it to generate a setup.iss and then try to silently install, it still asks for some user inputs, like setup.iss were incomplete

there's no msi yes, that's the software

A software I'm trying to install (AVID Softimage XSI) comes compressed in an .exe file, so I extract it's files and tried to use the default InstallShield parameters. Setup just ignored them. I looked for some ini file to put the needed info but couldn't find anything. There's two cab files but I couldn't find a way to extract or see whats inside well... any help?

When Autoform is set to 1, XP will delete all disk partitions and create one for the entire disk. There's no way to tell it to format only a specific one or to divide the disk in more than one

to let Windows autoformat a partition set AutoPartition=0 to make Windows copy your $OEM$ files to systemroot set OemPreinstall=Yes consult the WINNT.SIF Reference http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/19/

hey there, does anybody know how to build Adobe Production Studio cab file? I tried the 'default' way but I doesn't work

hey there, I just got Windows Vista RC1 and I'm wondering if it's worth to install it, if I'll be able to use my full internet speed, watch videos and do my 3D work what you guys say?

Image Graber II is a nice and simple freeware to this kind of screen capture

well, that depends on it's on "Windows Ultimate Edition" All hotfixes and drivers are not enough, at least for me

By default XP temp drive is the same as it's root (usually C:), so I guess Utorrent sends its downloaded data to pagefile.sys or Windows temp folder, as your root drive is frozen, Windows discard it's temp files

the "sleep method" is working perfectly now, the problem I had with it was Windows "waking up" too early, so I had to increase the sleep time to 45 minutes (yes, Adobe Production Studio Premium takes a lot of time to install everything) so, tks again

ScubaSteve > thanks, the problem now is I'm using XPlode to the RunOnce processes and, for some reason, sleep.exe don't seem to be working... InViSibLe Gr > setup.exe isn't self extracting so its process keeps running until all Production Studio softwares are being installed, that's why I don't understand exactly whats going now... I'll try to see the %temp% folder to see if setup.exe launches another setup.exe file or something

hey, i'm calling a Setup.exe file to begin an silent Adobe Production Studio installation and it works perfectly, except right after Windows executes the setup.exe file and it call it's .msi children, Windows starts the next item in the RunOnceEx list without wait setup.exe complete it's task the major problem about it is that Production Studio needs a lot of time to complete it's full install, so while it's running, others .msi based installation are not allowed to run it there anyway to solve this? maybe something like "if setup.exe == running { wait } else goto next_item

hey there, I trying an unattended Adobe Production Studio install using the .xml method suggested by Adobe, it works perfectly but I have a problem... Runonceex and/or XPlode starts the installing process but don't wait it ends to starts the next item in its list, this means APS is installed at same time as the others programs and when the runonce commands list reaches it's end, the system reboots ('cause the clean.cmd file). Since APS setup take a really long time to end, it's interrupeted before it end so I need to find some way to make runonce and/or xplode to really wait APS to finish it's whole process to go to the next item, something like make it check if setup.exe is running or not or some way to force runonce to wait (sorry, don't know if I made myself clear... )

tks! I'll try it in a few moments

according to this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833721/en-us MS article, these keys should do their job actually, what I need to know is just how to replace some text via batch file

hey there, I'm looking for a way to make XP edit boot.ini file before runonce to make it boot in safe mode, run driverpacks process, re-edit boot.ini back to what it was and reboot again so my doubt is how to replace the multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect with multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Safe Mode" /safeboot:minimal /sos /bootlog in a unattended way or some way to overwrite the boot.ini file any tips?

well, I just found out that just the /qr swtich works with both Encore and After Effects without the need to edit the .MSI or build a .MST file althought After Effects needs to be installed via Setup.exe, so I "removed this need" in .msi to install it, but now, it can't be unistalled

tks, now I'm using Installer Desing Studio to build MST files instead of changing MSI. Now I have another problem... in After Effects I could find a CA_ValidationInstall string but, for instance, in Premiere I couldn't... except for a reference to this value in the InstallUIExecute table, so I deleted this reference and installed Premiere but when I try to run the software it says "Registration information is invalid. Please reinstall Adobe Premiere Pro" and I can't uninstall it, it just begin the uninstall process and without any error message it quits... any help?
