Tihiy Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ok, I re-installed using the "Install for everyone" and now the Start Apps shows up..I've explored this and this happens only when UAC is totally off (EnableLUA = 0) or you're in unrestricted admin mode. In this mode Modern apps don't work so Start Apps folder is not needed. Or not? Please explain your UAC settings (and other settings knowing you're big registry tinkerer).

In this mode Modern apps don't work so Start Apps folder is not needed. Or not? Please explain your UAC settings (and other settings knowing you're big registry tinkerer).Well I am the unrestricted Built-in Admin but my UAC is turned off, so it was the UAC , hopefully this will help the next user with this issue .. Thanks for the quick response Hey.. you didn't respond to my second question on my above post.. I pre-install all my apps unattended in Windows 8 (don't mess with post-installs much) so this is important to me to be able to run it silent ..What is the silent install flags or switches on version 2.0RC3 to install for everyone? The old /silent switch no longer works from your other version.. if I use /S it prompts for the install for me or everyone and stops there..

Tihiy Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 What is the silent install flags or switches on version 2.0RC3 to install for everyone? The old /silent switch no longer works from your other version..Same switches are working:/silent for user install/elevated /silent for machine installYou need to run explorer.exe after silent installation.

ANOTHER satisfied customer! Woot! Go Tihiy! I'm looking forward to soon getting enough business that I can afford to buy a bunch of business licenses so I can start including it in every Windows 8 install I do for customers! SiB is the best!

DosProbie Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Morning Tihiy!Activation question, I do a lot of re-installs of Win8 on the same machine for testing purposes etc, So my Question is: Do you have a Activation Limit (on the Same machine) ?I used another product Start something or nother lol.. I know my bad.. and they said I had Reached my Activitation Limit.. So Before I commit to SIB I need to know, do youalso have any kind of provision of backing up the activation so I wont have to re-activate each time (such as a .bin file or whatever)?Thanks for the Help and a Great Product!..

berlen Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi Tihiy, I've a request for the next release! Is it possible to add a switch to disable the contextual menu option "Add to Start menu"?Thank you a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiB is the best!We already did that at work - first with 10 licenses, then when these ran out, with 40 more.Maybe someday I'll be able to buy the 300! Of course by then MS might put the Start Menu back in, although I hope they don't - SiB is better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the quick reply.. I think I saw a post on here somewhere that you can add a commandline to have it pre-activated.. Was I dreaming are do you have that option?
