sparks660 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Does anyone know if there is a switch for a silent install of Overnet that doesn't install the spyware ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terra Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 no-one in a right mind would put a switch in an installer that blocks something that they make profit on... try overnet lite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommk Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I did this by simply zipping the contents of my overnet folder and creating a self-extracting exe from it. I have not tested it throughly, but it appears to work fine for me. Just make sure your "temp" and "incoming" folders are empty before you zip...

ZoSTeR Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 AFAIK the Overnet installer (not Overnet itself) downloads the spyware during installation. So just make sure there's no open internet connection.This is definitely the case with the eDonkey betas.One more reason to use eMule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 zoster i understand what you are saying but i have had not so pleasant experiences with eMule and some people like overnet better than eMule like me. I would just say look for overnet lite. It uses inno setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
