Everyone probably knows about installing WinRAR silently already, but I added a bit to mine to get rid of that stupid zip and cab files as folders feature in Windows Explorer. I found this works best for me since WinRAR can immediatly claim those associations.

ECHO.

ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.30

ECHO Please wait...

regsvr32 /u /s zipfldr.dll

regsvr32 /u /s cabview.dll

start /wait %systemroot%\support\install\WinRAR\wrar330.exe /s

i tried this on an unattended install today but it removes associations with some files, how can u get rid of the winrar integration in shell when u right clik on something and it comes up.

{edit} is the settings.reg way the only way?

Yes, unless you use wrar330.exe /silent and at end you can choose options but then it's not SILENT hehe. Otherwise simpler import the reg at very end.

Import ready settings.reg (from WinRAR UI) before silent install, works fine on my box.

thanks guys, tried it out, worked fine
