  1. I need to know if there's a way to use the INSTALL.LOG file to make a script for adaware. the reason i ask is because i know how to "install" ad aware silently and into a custom directory (using the /s and /x switches) but the /x switch merely unpackages adaware into the directory i want, but i also need it to make shortcuts and the program group.

    to get around this i tried a batch script which copies those over...

    @echo off

    echo this will copy ad aware's links to the program group
    echo and the desktop
    echo.

    copy "%systemdrive%\Install\AdAwareSE\Ad-Aware SE Personal.lnk" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Ad-Aware SE Personal.lnk" /Y
    xcopy "%systemdrive%\Install\AdAwareSE\Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal" /E /C /I /Q /G /H /y
    copy "%systemdrive%\Install\AdAwareSE\INSTALL.LOG" "%systemdrive%\INSTALL.LOG" /Y
    copy "%systemdrive%\Install\AdAwareSE\INSTALL.LOG" "%systemdrive%\utilities\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware SE Personal\INSTALL.LOG" /Y

    and simply linked that to my RUNONCEex.cmd file

    i tested it out on my own computer and it worked just fine, but when i went to test in on a fresh install, it would copy those to the all users folder, but not show up for the current user or any of the others users desktops and program file groups :wacko:

    i'm probably doing something wrong here but i'd just like it to be a clean install without too much mess like this

  2. Thanks for the /D switch, the /S switch does work for me BUT i have only tested it in the command prompt manually, not yet in a batch file or in a batch as part of a windows installation, so perhaps i'll run into problems in the near future, who knows, i do know that the /S is case sensitive though. I wish i could be of more help to everyone here but i'm just learning at this point. and thanks again btw

  3. Ok, so what i really want is to know how to install crap cleaner into a custom directory from the command prompt, i already know how to silently install it (/S), but i never know where to find the switch i need to specify which install directory and i dont know if there are any other types of installers, perhaps the one that crap cleaner uses, that arent mentioned under applications in the guide. is there somewhere where i can find this stuff? i've been searching, and i'm kinda tired :wacko:
