The official installer for RegSnap v5.8.1920 dosen't support any form of silent installation. Of course, cooking up an AutoIT script would be very easy, but as i want all my installations to be totally silent, then i instead just make a 7z switchless installer which installs the app by itself, without using the official installer.

After running the installer, then the following files are located in '%programfiles%\RegSnap\' :

• about.dll
  
• form1.frm
  
• lartl.dll
  
• lbsu.dll
  
• license.txt
  
• mfc42deu.dll
  
• mfc42esp.dll
  
• mfc42fra.dll
  
• mfc42ita.dll
  
• msvcp60.dll
  
• readme.txt
  
• RegSnap Demo.vbp
  
• RegSnap Demo.vbw
  
• RegSnap.exe
  
• regsnap.la
  
• regsnap.tlb
  
• unsetup.dat
  
• unsetup.exe
  
• whatsnew.txt
  

However, the only needed files for getting the app to run is :

• RegSnap.exe
  
• lbsu.dll
  

The registration data is located in these two registry keys :

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LastBit\CPR\REGS
  
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LastBit\CPR\REGS
  

These two keys contain exactly the same data and only one of them is needed.

Here is the reg file which i use in my 7z switchless installer. Besides the registration key(i have removed the actual serial), then i also add the entries needed to do the following :

• Disable the Startup Wizzard.
  
• Show modified key values in addition to the key names.
  
• Generate reg files.
  
• Disable the "generate reg files" warning.
  
• Map 'HKEY_USERS\<ID>' to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER'.
  
• Disable truncating long dumps.
  
• Ignore some unneded reg keys like MRU's, UserAssist, Cryptography and SessionInformation etc.

Do Yourselve a favour grab InstallWatch it lets you save before install and after install regfiles in normal reg file format.

oh thanx, I've bin using IntallRite for ages

what is the difference bet InstallRite and InstallWatch?!

The Difference is That....

InstallWatch records modifications made to your PC during the installation of software, hardware, or configuration changes.

AND

InstallRite (which includes all the features of InstallWatch) provides "application cloning" as opposed to "disk cloning", simplifying software distribution.

thanx
