WinZip silent doesn't work

[d0nut]

Silent installing WinZip doesn't seem to work the way it should...

These lines are in runonceex.cmd:

REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "WinZip 8.1" /fREG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\WinZip\install.cmd" /f

And this is in the install.cmd:

CMDOW @ /HID@ECHO OFF
SET DIROEM=%CD%MOVE "%systemdrive%\Install\WinZip" "%ProgramFiles%"START /WAIT winzip32.exe /cleaninstallSTART /WAIT REGEDIT /S .\registreerwinzip.reg
EXIT

And this is the regfile:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinIni]"Name"="Toon Gorissen""SN"="WORKING SERIAL NUMBER"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinZip]"ShowTips"="0"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\fm]"shlExt"="0"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\WinIni]"Setup"="1"

When RunOnceEx tries to execute the install.cmd-file, nothing seems to be affected. Manually executing install.cmd does the trick.

Why doesn't it work ?

Thanks in advance !

I haven't yet done the runonceex.cmd method yet but I think I can see why.

Maybe remove the EXIT from the install.cmd file

[Alanoll]

you want the EXIT.

why don't you do a search for the way the WinZIP's websites says to do a silent install?

you may also wish to remove your Serial Number from the regtweaks when posting.

Did you mean to spell your reg file like this?

START /WAIT REGEDIT /S .\registreerwinzip.reg

Or, did you miss-spell it, and it should be:

"registerwinzip.reg"?

[SlimShady]

Don't you have to enter the full path in a command? I mean this:

START /WAIT REGEDIT /S .\registreerwinzip.reg

Replace .\registreerwinzip.reg with the full path.

Maybe that'll help.

BTW:

START /WAIT REGEDIT /S .\registreerwinzip.reg

Or, did you miss-spell it, and it should be:

"registerwinzip.reg"?

Perfect translation .

But I don't think that's the problem.

Good luck.

um....

everyone is pointing out the flaw in his syntax, but he very clearly states that it works outside of RunOnceEX when he runs it normally.

[Jono]

i would remove that serial number from your registry file as anyone can use that

You could archive the program files using winrar and add this comment..

Path=Winzip

SavePath

Setup=winzip32.exe /autoinstall

Silent=2

Overwrite=2

I will extract all the files needed, then run the install command silently.

I have used this for a while now, and it works.

Let me know if you need more detailed info..

Did u try to change the line for starting the setup in "%ProgramFiles%\winzip\winzip32.exe" /noqp /notip /autoinstall

(this is for winzip 9 so /cleaninstall could work for 8)

at first I forgot the "" and it started the setup, but didn't do anything.

And, as you, running it manual worked normally.

What is Winzip?

[Glowy]

Winzip Is a utility to unpack packed files such as .zip.

Windows XP has this functionality as a standard now, but Winzip has more options

[SlimShady]

I recommend PowerArchiver, Microsoft does too.

Why do we need to install WinZip?

All files of WinZip go to: C:\Program Files\WinZip\, so all we need is some registry keys and values to integrate and configure it.

Thats exacly what

"%ProgramFiles%\winzip\winzip32.exe" /noqp /notip /autoinstall

does.

The files must be copied, and running the command runs a silent "install" that imports the regkeys.

All you need to do after that is register winzip, by importing a reg file or other means

[mazin]

I didn't mean this.

I mean to copy those files, then run a reg file. No need for running an exe file.

Thanks.
