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 !

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"?

:)

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:

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"?

:rolleyes:

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.

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.

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

I didn't mean this.

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

Thanks.
