Nobody heard about it before? Strange...

It is a FREE program... here is the description

and you can download it here.

hi,

i've just downloaded it and played around, but none of the standard silent switches work on it. It isn't a standard installer, but you can use InstallRite to make it install fully unattended.

hope this helps a bit

It uses a custom installer.

I made a SFX out of the Download Express Directory using 7zip. Placed it in $OEM$\$progs\Download Express. Then executed the 7zip file during RunOnceEx. I also exported these registry Keys:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.DE]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MetaProducts Download Express incompletely downloaded file]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MetaProducts]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DownloadExpress]

Here is what my RunOnceEx entries for DEP look like.

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "Installing Download Express 1.5" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "\"%programfiles%\Download Express\DEP15.exe\" -y" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S \"%programfiles%\Download Express\DEP.reg\"" /f

It works just fine.

You could also make an autoit script like I did for Mass Downloader which uses the same type of install as Download Express.
