WinZip silent doesn't work

[Glowy]

Uhm yeah that's what I said..

files are copied, and running the exe file with switches imports the registry, and creates icons, add/remove link and file associasions.

so why make a .reg file when an exe file does the trick 4 u ?

and by register I mean entering serial number and username

[mazin]

Well!

Now, I agree. You made it easier. Thanks.

[Glowy]

No prob.

Sorry 4 not being clear ..

[mazin]

Sorry, Glowy! Where have you got this from: /noqp /notip?

Is it WinZip site?

[Glowy]

uhm can be... I don't remember... been a while since I added Winzip to my image..

Could be on this board too...

/notip disables the tips at startup and the /noqp disables the quicklpick taskbar icon

[Edit] It's on the winzip Site allright: Winzip 9.0 instructions and Winzip 8.1 Instructions

I made a SFX with WinRAR with these settings:

Path=%systemdrive%\Program Files\WinZip

SavePath

Setup=WINZIP32.exe /noqp /notip /autoinstall

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

It worked fine from my hard disk. Do you think it will work from an Unattended CD, as well?

[Glowy]

yeah I guess... you don't know until you tested it..

I got some problems running it from within Xplode.. (runs on T-13) didn't work but running it from RunOnceEX worked.

Didn't have the time yet to figure out why... so I left it that way for the time being

[mazin]

yeah ... I heard about this problem with XPlode from someone before. He said it extracts but doesn't install.

I think it will work with the batch method, then.

[Glowy]

Yup same problem here...

I think it will work with the batch method, then.

If it runs on your disk, then it will probably run from RunOnceEx too

I remembered that person, he was big_gie.

He posted about it here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=17365&st=30

You can PM him if you wish.

You get it from Winzip folder after you install it. However, you'll need to pack the whole folder of installed Winzip, not only winzip32.exe, and your original installer isn't needed, then.
