LifeGlobe Screensavers

[BPopilek]

Hello, I have a collection of the LifeGlobe Fish & Shark screensavers that I would like to have install during the initial login. Does anyone know what the switches would be to have them install silently? And how would I include the serial number in either the install or as a registry edit? Thanks!

I downloaded the setup file to have a look and it an Inno, so /verysilent would work. You could always just copy the scr files from the sys32 folder or put them in the $OEM$\$$\System32 (if you have it on your disc) and the ywill be copied during textmode.

As for the registry the Inno creates keys in HKLM\Software\Prolific Publishing, Inc.\LifeGlobe and HKCU\Software\Prolific Publishing, Inc.\LifeGlobe so you could check there, its hard to say without actually adding the serial numbers. You may also need to export these keys and import them for the screensavers to work.

Thanks for the tips! I have all the files and the registry exports now. I will let you know if this worked after I get a chance to build the CD and try in. Thanks again!

No probs, hope it does work.

I had a few mins spare so I copied the Goldfish2.scr to the sys32 folder. If lets you add "lifeglobe" as a serial to try the screensaver and the reg entries are created when opened with the desktop properties page. The serial number looks like it is stored as a subkey of the HKLM and HKCU keys called RegCode, its a reg binary value, the settings for sound, speed of motion etc are stored there as well (in the HKCU key) so if you set it up how you want it then export the settings you should be good to go.

You could also create a Winrar sfx that copies the files and runs Regedit to import the settings
