Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 (12.01) - need help & ideas

[Gremo]

Hi to all

I'm having trouble with silent installing Paint Shop Pro X2. I have already read all topics about version 10 and 11.

• Activation: the window with activation procedure doesn't appear after closing the program
  
• Switches: dont' run "Media Downloader" after install
  
• Switches: chage installation language (i've tried C_LANGUAGE but it doesn't work)
  

At this point, i'm able to do

Admin installation point (note this will not work with trial download from corel website)

1) Make a working folder called "psppx2"
2) Copy the entire directory content "Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo" from cd to a new folder called "source" under psppx2 folder
3) msiexec /a source\psppx2.msi TARGETDIR=aip transforms=source\1040.mst /qb (1040.mst for italian language, choose your own; aip is target foder under psppx2 folder) - note this is unattended install without setting any serial number.

Slipstream 12.01 patch (downloaded from corel website, under updates..)

1) Run the patch (.exe) until first window
2) Copy %TEMP%\PSP1201_EN-FR-DE-ES-IT-NL.msp to "psppx2" directory
3) msiexec /a aip\psppx2.msi /p PSP1201_EN-FR-DE-ES-IT-NL.msp /qb (updates admin installation point)

Silent install

1) msiexec /i aip\psppx2.msi Serialnumber=XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX /qb

...

n) Fixes to remove that PSIService.exe crap and run program without it :D

Help me people! I'm sure you can do!

2) Switches to customize it (remove shortcuts, avoid to install yahoo crap)

to remove shortcut... go to orca again and edit at the shortcut place....

the best psp for unattended still psp10 or pspx ....

Is possible to activate with a script, but for this you need to run Corel and close it after a few seconds. After this, activation window will pop-up. Select Phone activation and insert serial number 2 and 3.

To kill PSIServive:

pskill -t "Corel Photo Downloader.exe"
reg delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Run /v "Corel Photo Downloader" /f
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ProtexisLicensing /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f

You have to kill Corel Photo Downloader.exe from the memory, to avoid re-register PSIService.
