XKnoppix Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I've found a few topics on this subject already, and yet none of them pointed out the way to install **** NFO Viewer silently? I've seen posts that say you need to import reg settings to associate it with .nfo files. Others say it tries to run itself after installing (that's a problem) Some say /s others say /S... Well could someone be so kind to help me out step by step on what i need to silently install it using RunOnceEx?By the way here is some code i copy and pasted out of someones posted RunOnceEx file:REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Installing **** NFO Viewer" /fREG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\****\DamnNFOViewer.exe" /fBut as you can see he/she has no switches at all?! This puzzles me?! I would appreciate some help Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 i dunno about the new version, but the easiest way would be to use XTremeMac's MSI file. I'll look later when I have more time for a switch for the official install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeMaC Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 yes dude .nfo files !!that's the whole point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XKnoppix Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 I tried to install it using XCOPY and i didn't get any file associaions so i'm just double checking. So i'll go ahead and use /QN because they is already the RunOnceEx menu up...who needs a progress bar lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XKnoppix Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 While we are on the topic of .msi packages. I have 5 files in my /AdobeReader6/ folder:0x0409.infAbcpy.infAR6.msiData1.rarsetup.exeDo i only need AR6.msi to correctly install Adobe Reader?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 all i have it AR6.msi, you could try moving the files to a temp folder (excluding ar6.msi) and then try running AR6.msi to make sure.And you didn't get the associations set when you copied the files, because you just copied the files. Little common sense there. If i copy Winzip to a new folder, I still have to run Winzip to have it set the associations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 no adobe needs the cab filei've made a msi for that as well 21mb though.u can put hte cab and the msi together and when u launch the msi from runonceex it'll use the cab..also what do u mean u used xcopy? r u trying to install the program with xcopy?WHAT?

XKnoppix Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 I didn't But i read a post earlier on in my research that said XCOPY didn't work. And it seemed like a good excuse lol But i know better. So i only need the .msi and the .cab file? The other three are gone then!Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
