Corel WinDVD 9 Plus

[Marsianin]

There is a topic on how to install WinDVD 8 but it doesn't work for version 9.

There are instructions on how to modify default.ini file but here is the content of it for full WinDVD 9 Plus (and Plus Blu-ray):

[InterVideo]

[Shortcuts]
OnlineUpdateName=disable

Also I tried unpack WinDVD9.exe and run setup.exe /S /v/qn - it won't install and creates setup.log with:

[ResponseResult]
ResultCode=-3

Please help. Also is there a way to register it silently?

hiho

extract the installer.exe

remove the file setup.iss from the unpacked folder

use this : setup.exe /r /sms /f1"c:\setup.iss" to install and create your own setup.iss-file and copy this one in your unpacked folder

after installing register it

go to the folder where the program is installed (programfiles\Corel\...\

save the file "WD09.dta" from this folder on another place

uninstall the app

for silent install:

install programm with Setup.exe /s /sms

copy the file "WD09.dta" to the program-folder (owerwrite)

have fun

works for me

I may be wrong, but I think this only works on the same computer WD09.dta was created on.

The file is 'hardware' specific.

Ok, thanks a lot. Registration file works. Silent installation I'm gonna check.

Only one thing left - annoying registration window... There was some registry key for version 7/8 which made WinDVD registered (on corel.com) is there a new one?

P.S. Will WD09.dta work on another PC (if I change my PC configuration)?

Another thing. I deleted all prerequisites from WinDVD and now it gives an error:

InstallShield

W:\Redistributable\SetupPrerequisties\PRQ\DirectX Feb2007 Runtime.prq.

What would you like to do?

How to prevent it from checking prerequisites?

I don't really think it needs to install DirectX because I have SP3 integrated and dxdiag shows all DirectX files dated 4/14/2008.
