Astalavista Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 as i said when i tried to uninstall winamp i my system when into a looptrying to uninstall the files. it kept trying to find files from c:\install\winampthanks ... hope for a new release soon. keep up the great work
freshy98 Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 Alanoll: Maybe you can use quotes? Meaning this: "path\msiexec.exe /i winamp5.msi Xblah".That should help with spaces. I know it works for directory's but I don't know if it will work here too.[edit]using %systemdrive%\path_to\winamp\msiexec.exe /i winamp.msi Xoptions doesn't work. it quits with an error saying it can not find msiexec.exe. gonna try it without the msiexec.exe /i[/edit]
Alanoll Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 quotes will work, if it was Xname="Some User" but "winamp.msi Xname=Some User" won't as, the MSI installer thinks USER is another parameter. But then problem arises that is might input the " as part of the string in Xname instead of Some User, which might cause problems (I'm thinking logically here, as I haven't actually tested it, but it's a forseeable error.yes.....it's msiexec.exe /i %systemdrive%\path_to\winamp\winamp.msimsiexec.exe is in the Windows\System32 directory I believe, and it's already set in PATH, so no path is needed.
freshy98 Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 I just had my 8th run to test things, and not using msiexec.exe /i works fine too.Just used /qn.
edmoncu Posted June 7, 2004 Posted June 7, 2004 here's the msiexec driven winamp script i used (under autoit) w/c worked for me:RunWait("msiexec -i "winamp.msi Xname=Slipstreamed Xkey=ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO-PQRST Xfull=1 /QN REBOOT=Suppress")
Alanoll Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 I just had my 8th run to test things, and not using msiexec.exe /i works fine too.Just used /qn.it should be fine without msiexec, but I always use msiexec just in case I move my code to a differnt position in setup, and the path's might not be setup yet to just use the MSI.Also, I've done a bit of testing, Xname="User Name" works. If you find any problems let me, and I'll trace it down. I'm currently trying to work on a way to use an INI file, so you just include the switches in there, and bam, just in the commandline winamp.msi /qn and you're good.
XtremeMaC Posted June 12, 2004 Author Posted June 12, 2004 aa pls find the way to do that ini thing!I've been trying to accomplish it also quotes do work in Xname i had failed to mention that...
freshy98 Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Glad to hear that the quotes work for the "User Name". I do not run a registred version my self as I use Exact Audio Copy (for which I made a WinRAR SFX) and Xing MPEG Encoder v1.5 (old version but uses no registration and it can encose to VBR which I have not been able to do with the latest version).I will edit my start.cmd to include the msiexec.exe /i for when I re-install Windows again. Atm it works great!After 10 test runs.
GillouStyle03 Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Does anyone know how to activate the CLASSIC skin by default?
Alanoll Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 the easiest way would be once you have it installed on a normal way, to then copy the winamp.ini file in your winamp directory to your CD, and then after installing Winamp, copy it back over.I don't believe there is a option to choose skin yet.
beppemito Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 a new version is out: 5.0.3C!!!!we need msi file :D
freshy98 Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Is there any word on the Media Library. I know it is a problem atm to install it, but it is really handy to me.Having all albums or bunch of files in a seperate playlist controllerd via Media List is very handy.
Alanoll Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 i really should change that first post.It should be fixed.....atleast I've had no problems...if you have any issues with a MSI you have, make sure you have the latest MSI in the first post. The link is near that top.
