Winamp - Selectable Features

[Solid as a rock]

hi. just noticed that winamp has been updated to 5.0.4. will the javascript workaround work with this new release? thanks.

Anyone knows how to install Winamp, using his keyboard only, he can definitely write his own JScript, whatever the version is.

If you need help, download the PDF. It should explain the logic behind the JS. And it's easy.

However, I'll download the new version. Thanks for the link.

EDIT:

v5.04 is exactly the same components as v5.03a. Nothing special, although it's 4.35 MB while v5.03a was 4.20 MB.

Even "eMusic" isn't included in v5.04, while it was in v5.03c.

when watching at winamp.comthere is no 5.04 so it is not official or it is not from them....

but ermmmm.... emusic is not included anymore in 5.03c

But the link is to their site:

http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client...amp504_full.exe

I intstalled it and it says v5.04 on 27/7/2004.

Hey mazin, you've got a nice discussion going - and I'm a late entrant into the JS-method install. But where's the PDF? I sure would like to have a read of it!

(it looks like you hosted it at geocities, and they have stopped all downloads from your account, considering it as misuse)

It is official.

See this http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=188034.

The main site is mostly non up to date.

NO! Just right-click and save target as...

This works in IE but not in firefox, as said by someone before.

If you still can't download it, I can send it to you by email. NP! But it's still downloadable.

Yes! You're right.

Imagine, bonedaddy!

RunOnceEX strings can be shrunk to these lines only if we add a path inside JS:

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Winamp 5.03a

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 01 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Winamp\winamp.js

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 02 /D "cmd.exe /c copy /Q %systemdrive%\Install\Winamp\Winamp.ini \"%systemdrive%\Program Files\Winamp\""

Notice the path in JS. Also, notice Run, and the line below it is deleted.

function getWin(win, inc)

{

var cntr = 0;

while (!WshShell.AppActivate(win))

{

return true;

var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

I wonder if you can have time to test it from CD. I think you can, now, run it from CD directly without having to copy it to your hard disk first.

[bonedaddy]

sure one of the test machines is ready, I'll let you know.

Thanks bonedaddy. I'll be waiting.

We still have your previous working way to install from CDROM. I'll manage the new method that you posted a pic for.

However, there's some good news. Now, we can insert reg data for Pro version via the JS itself.

I added these lines (in blue) to JS to register Winamp for the Pro version:

WshShell.SendKeys ("%{F4}");//closing Winamp

}

var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");

WshShell.RegWrite ("HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Nullsoft\\Winamp\\regkey", "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx");

WshShell.RegWrite ("HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Nullsoft\\Winamp\\regname", "MyName");

WScript.quit();

So, no need to add those reg data to the CMD file.

@ Mazin

cool I'll add it, don't worry about the other like you said

I have a working method.

The problem is that I knew the problem? SWEET?!

I mean when we advertize the CDROM var inside the CMD, it's advertized inside the CMD only. You see.

I mean it's not advertized as a usable var by other programs. This is why there's a utility on the unattended site for this purpose. It could solve the problem, I think.

But what I want to do is define the CDROM var inside the JS, too. This way, the JS can see the CDROM. Right now, I don't know how to do that. But I'll keep thinking.

This should, also, help in copying the INI via JS too; instead of using the CMD to copy it.

Actually, I want JS to do everything, so that CMD only has got one line in.
