Serial Numbers, No clue


Recommended Posts

I've sucessfully made the unattended XP install and now I would like to setup programs for unattended install. I choose the installrite application for this as

most of the install shield apps I have don't create Set.iss files.

What I need to figure out is how can I add the serial number to my install package

so that I'm not prompted for that on any of my installations.

Thanks for you help.

The program in question is Digidesign Pro Tools.

I think that I will probably have to do what is suggested, which

is to find where serial number goes and make it part of install.

I will have try this tomorrow.

Thanks for your responses.

Ok I've searched for nearly 24hrs and can't locate product key in system.

I'm not sure what to do now. I searched the reg from top to bottom, program

files also and nothing.

The application I'm using requires a reboot and launch after install to add

product key, which is information that installrite doesn't capture.

Any thouhts would be greatly appreciated.

do a registry compare of before inputting serial and after....maybe it gets encrypted in the registry.

and/or

set the system date ahead a year and then load the serial number. Then see which files were modified on that date. Perhaps it is not in the registry

Strat79 I'm using PT LE 6.4 and Nuendo. Are you into music?

WwTIPPYwW I think will try your ideas. I believe the serial was encrypted.

I figured where I went wrong with installrite and now I have a silent install working, but I would still like to know where serial is so that I can try different

approaches to the silent install.

Thanks for your replies.

Maybe you can try getting InstallShield X Pro (the app that CREATES these .iss based installers, in the first place) - and then modify the installers itself to see at what point it asks keys, and where it puts it, and then change to have the key integrated into itself....
