ajua Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 have you tried to use Universal Extractor to extract the setup files? this is helpful to see the script file and to change it to your needs. maybe you can choose the video format via the script or remove it at all from there.i haven't tried convertcxtodvd in silent install but i have made a custom installer for CopytoDVD in msi format.

radix Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) HiYou need to repack this installer to make it completly silent.Download these tools:innounpInno Setup- Install Inno Setup.- Unrar innounp and copy it in the same folder with VSO installer.Now unpack installer using a command like this:C:\test020\innounp.exe -x -m -a C:\test020\vsoConvertXtoDVD3_setup.exeOpen install_script.iss and make this steps:- Add a name for the output file on OutputBaseFilename (on top of the script), but without extension- Delete the entire line which contains "GetVideoStandard" from [Registry]- Delete those two lines under [Run] section- From [icons] I deleted the third line (quicklaunch icon)- From [Tasks] I removed the last two linesSave it and exit.Compile install_script.iss (r. click->Compile). New installer is in Output folder.Add these entries to a reg file (save it as settings.reg):Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\3.0]"LicenseKey"="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-X"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\3.0\settings]"Gen_BypassPromptForUpdateDialog"="FALSE""Gen_CheckForUpdate"="FALSE"Run from batch file:@echo offstart /wait vsoConvertXtoDVD3_setup.exe /sp- /verysilent /norestartstart /wait regedit.exe /s settings.regexitNote: You can add informations from settings.reg into install_script.iss on [Registry] section.

I use ISTool and you can go to the program group tab under options and type it in, manually you could add the code below to the [setup] portionDefaultGroupName=ConvertX2DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool400 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 @radix,skavenger,bennersThanks a lot - this is really great!!!I tried this with ConvertXtoDVD 3.0.0.9 and it seems to work. The only thing I had to figure out was, how I could unpack the new Inno-Installer 5.2.3 - you need a modified version of innounp, which you can find here (there's an english GUI included, the tool speaks chinese )But I've got one last question: after I compiled the new setup, the installer has grown over 2MB without adding any files Are there any parameters I can choose for a greater file-compression?Best regards and thanks a lotcool400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benners Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Are there any parameters I can choose for a greater file-compression?Using ISTool Options - Compiler there are settings there for compression.I normally useCompression=lzmaInternalCompressLevel=ultraSolidCompression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radix Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) I normally useCompression=lzmaInternalCompressLevel=ultraSolidCompression=trueOr Compression=lzma/ultra64SolidCompression=yesin [setup] section of .iss file and use Inno to compile.

I have 2GB of mem so it should be enoughI used Inno not ISTool and works fine with ConvertXtoDVD. I have 2GB RAM too. Compilation need about 200-300 MB of memory in our case.
