NOTE: This guide is for the REGISTERED ENHANCED VERSION ONLY ! Okay here's the deal... I noticed some of you are having trouble installing IconPackager V3 silent so I came up with a sollution. Get WinRAR if you don't already have it, here. Install IconPackager like normal and enter your serial number. Wait till it finishes. Open Windows Explorer and browse to C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\IconPackager We need all of these files so select them all and add them to a new archive...Go to File > Add to archive..., the WinRAR dialog will apear. In "archiving options" check "Create SFX archive" (this will create a stand-alone application). Choose your compression method. I recommend "Best" (I get 13.6/56.7MB, 25% ratio ). No need to setup SFX options... just go to "Comment" tab and add the following: ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Path=Stardock\Object Desktop\IconPackager SavePath Silent=1 Overwrite=1 Shortcut=P, "IconPackager.exe", "Object Desktop", "", "IconPackager" Shortcut=P, "IconExplorer.exe", "Object Desktop", "", "IconPackager Explorer" Shortcut=P, "TweakShell.exe", "Object Desktop", "", "TweakShell" The above comment tells the installer to hide all dialog boxes and to create the necessary shortcuts in the start menu. Now click "OK" and WinRAR will do the rest. You should now have a file called IconPackager.sfx.exe. [*]Okay we're halfway there . Now we need to setup our install folder... Go to your applications install folder, or wherever you store your software (mine is C:\install) and create a new folder called IconPackager. Place your IconPackager.sfx.exe in this folder. Create a new file called settings.reg and plug in the following code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\ObjectDesktop] "ODZip"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Stardock\\ODZip.dll" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\ObjectDesktop\IconPackager] "Type"="enhanced" "Version"="3.00a" "Revision"="3.00a" "Updated"="12/09/2005 5:46:53" "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Stardock\\Object Desktop\\IconPackager" "Startup"="0" "EXE"="IconPackager.exe" Nothing real major here so there's no need to modify these settings further. We're gonna need to register this program with Windows in case it needs to be uninstalled in the future (e.g., using "Add/Remove Programs" from control panel). So create another registry file and call it uninstaller.reg. Use this code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\IconPackager] "DisplayName"="IconPackager" "UninstallString"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\Stardock\\OBJECT~1\\ICONPA~1\\iconpackager.exe /uninstallwise" Now we have the necessary registry files. We also need to copy one more file. I'm not sure what this file is for. All I know is that it's created during IconPackager installation. So browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Stardock and copy odzip.dll to your "IconPackager" folder. Finally, create an installation script called install.cmd and plug in this code: cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET dir=%systemdrive%\install\IconPackager start /wait %dir%\IconPackager.sfx.exe XCOPY /Y %dir%\odzip.dll "%programfiles%\Common Files\Stardock\" regedit /S %dir%\settings.reg regedit /S %dir%\uninstaller.reg EXIT NOTE: If you haven't allready done so, download and install cmdow command-line utility from here. Otherwise, the install script window will show during installation. Simply download this file and unzip to your Windows system32 folder (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\System32). All done! All you have to do now is double-click install.cmd and it does the rest.
