jjn1056 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Someone had posted on this forum a way to semi-silently install this app using the following method:SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"You can add to this the ADDLOCAL property, which allows you to control which modules get installed. The following modules are available:ECDC6CreatorAppsDragToDiscLabelCreatorRoxioPlayerSuperNovaPMStudioDskTopIconPMStudioVCDPMStudioDVDI'm not sure what each module is for at this time, although some are obvious by their name. Personally, I leave out the 'supernova' module, which is their ripping and media management tool, because if you use this, it takes control of all the wav and other media files on you PC. I also drop the dsktopicon and lablecreator, since I don't have a printer!Here's my setup command:SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,DragToDisc,PMStudio,PMStudioVCD,PMStudioDVD REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"
a06lp Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 stupid q:i have the cd in my cd-rom drive, and i see a large list of files, including:Autorun.inf,Data.Cab,ECDC6.msi,Install.exe,Install.ini,instmsia.exe,instmsiw.exe,setup.exe,setup.iniand folders:Utility, Redist,Readme, PartnersDo I need to copy ALL these to a folder on my harddrive to be able to use it on my unattended CD?

How did you find the values for the EZ CD Creator for ADDLOCAL?
Joe User 99 Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 I have a PowerDVD suite which also installs a suite of applications and would like to limit what it installs. How did you find the values for the EZ CD Creator for ADDLOCAL?You open up the MSI and look at the feature table.
ceez Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 awesome work jjn1056, thkz for the info. I was able to unattendedly install only the base eccd app and the dragtodisc feature!I just created an install.bat with the following:e:\SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,DragToDisc REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"worked like a charm. now to place it in the CD!!!

Joe User 99 Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Shoot, it's an installshield program. Any program to modify that?You're not modifying the setup.exe, edit the .MSI file. Any MSI editor can do that, Installshield, Wise, Orca, etc. It doesn't matter if it was created with Installshield or not.Orca is free, and should work fine. WinInstallLE is another free one, but I haven't used it. Or try a eval version of Wise or Installshield. All you are doing is checking the names on the feature table.

troycicle Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 How do you silently install all three Easy CD Creator 6 updates? I'm having problems doing it.
a06lp Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 I need help with Easy CD Creator 6. When I'm installing it with WPI, it will get to about half way done, and another application will start installing. Sometimes it won't let the next applicaiton install because Easy CD Creator isn't finished. Is there a way I could make ECDC 6 finish installing before the next application starts? I'm using the following code:%systemdrive%\install\Applications\easycd6\SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"I am thinking that using ECDC6.msi would be easier for me. But if I use the ECDC6.msi, can I still specify which parts to install? (Like the ADDLOCAL key above?)
a06lp Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 bumpanyone know the answer to my question in the previous post?
Joe User 99 Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I'm using the following code:%systemdrive%\install\Applications\easycd6\SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"I am thinking that using ECDC6.msi would be easier for me. But if I use the ECDC6.msi, can I still specify which parts to install? (Like the ADDLOCAL key above?)Yes, you can use the MSI.Everything in your commandline after the /v is a MSI switch anyway./qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S
a06lp Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 so, would this be correct?%systemdrive%\install\Applications\easycd6\ECDC6.msi /qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=Sand do you think this would solve my problem with the program installations overlapping?
troycicle Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 I had the same problem you're having. I just wrote a script to sleep for a while. When I tried to use ECDC 6 in VMware, it didn't work.
Joe User 99 Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 so, would this be correct?%systemdrive%\install\Applications\easycd6\ECDC6.msi /qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=Sand do you think this would solve my problem with the program installations overlapping?Are you using start /wait in your command line?For example:start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\easycd6\ECDC6.msi /qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=SOther than that, I don't know what would be causing them to overlap.
