[Solved] DivXInstaller7 Silent installation problem

[Alpha_95]

Hi all,

what is the switch to silently install DivXInstaller 7 ?

Cmenu with, it gives /S so I tried and it does not ...

Nullsoft Installer ®

setup.exe / Option

(All switches MUST be upper case. No double quotes)

Install Options

/D =x:\dirname

Install program to path.

/NCRC

Skip CRC check.

Display Options

/S

Silent mode.

CMenu Options

AutoIt Usage

Au3 create the template script.

Edit any variables at the start of the script, and add shortcuts, that require deletion.

Refer to the CMenu Help Guide. It displays sample highlighted items, to edit.

Compile the script into an exe, and keep it with the install.

Run the compiled exe, to install.

Command line usage

To silently install, use the switch:

Setup.exe / S

in a batch:

ECHO Installing DIVXINSTALLER
REG ADD% KEY% \ 000 / V 1 / D "% systemdrive% \ APPS \ DivXInstaller.exe / S" / f

I also tested with a silent but such svcpack

Thank you

Hi Alpha_95

I do not have version 7 but I would presume that the installer type and techniques are the same as previous builds. The Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) is used by most install package creators to follow the standard methods. Since NSIS can be customized then this allows some install package creators to be more inconsiderate towards the end-users and create unfriendly installers.

CMenu identified the installer correct but the install package creator chose that you get what they customized with using NSIS. The DivX.com organization has chosen to be like this since they became a commercial entity.

If you are interested in just the codec to decode and/or encode then I would suggest XviD or Ffdshow which are Inno Setup installers that give you the freedom to install with standard switches that Inno Setup offers. Either of the above will handle DixX files. Ffdshow handles many more codec types as well which you may know as a bundle of codecs.

If you wish to persist with the DivX installer then you can search for AutoIt automated scripts posted in the forum or perhaps repack the installer and make it more friendly to install.

thank you for the information and yes it's just for the codecs so I'm going to turn on FFdshow.

Thank you for your reply.

Best regards

AutoIt is a bit complex for me: p

For just DivX you can use XviD as decoder. However, if you have some old DivX3 videos, you will need FFDshow.
