How To Figure Out Which Installer Is Used?

[a06lp]

I read the unattended step-by-step, i tried the search button, and this solved most of my applications.

1) I'm using WPI, but I have to know what to type for certain programs. The one's I have left are:

- BitTorrent (Shad0w's Client v5.8.7)

- DivX 3.11 Alpha (Register_DivX.exe)

- ac3filter v0.70b.exe

- DivX 5.2 for Windows 2K & XP.exe

- XviD 1.0.1-05062004.exe

- BSPlayer

I don't know where to start with these, because I do not even know how to figure out what kind of installer is being used...what should I do?

2)Does K-lite codec pack 2.27 Full include all of these? (One installer for all codecs?) Or is it more of a dream, and i'll need these specific ones?

3) I also want to know the correct syntax of a copy command. For example, if something is in my "$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications" folder, I know it will end up on "C:\Install\Applications". But I want to be able to copy the files to my desktop, and to program files. Could someone give me the syntax for copying files, and making folders?

1) the search button will help here.

2) everything except bittorrent.

3) copy /?, or try xcopy /?. Generally if you are copying a file, I stick with copy, otherwise I go with xcopy.

whats the dif between copy and xcopy?

also, is there a way to copy an entire directory at once?....if so, do i have to create the destination folder first?....if so, how?

[edit] and also, how do i figure out what to do about BT? should i upload the file and maybe you can figure it out?

Hello,

The difference between Copy & Xcopy is that the first is an Internal command which means it's within the system and loaded automatically in memory when the system starts; in the other hand, Xcopy is an extrenal command which means it's a command (a small program) that is loaded only when you call it and it's automatically unloaded when it finish it work.

However, Xcopy is much powerful than copy.

For example to copy the entire dir with it sub dirs, you can use Xcopy with /E

You can also add these switches /C /Q /H /R /Y

for further help always use : "Command /?" i.e : Xcopy /? as my friend sleepnmojo told you.

I'm sorry, I still don't fully understand.

If I want to copy the entire directory, and subdirectories, and files of:

%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Exact_Audio_Copy_V0.95_prebeta5

and I want it to create the entire tree (include the top folder which I specified - namely: Exact_Audio_Copy_V0.95_prebeta5) into a different directory (like C:\Program Files\), so that in the end I would have C:\Program Files\Exact_Audio_Copy_V0.95_prebeta5

Is this what I need?

XCOPY "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Exact_Audio_Copy_V0.95_prebeta5" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\" /T /E

If not, could you help me correct it?

If you want to copy, not install just ;

$OEM$\$PROG\EAC\Exact_Audio_Copy_V0.95_prebeta5

and that will copy it to C:\Program Files\EAC\Exact_Audio_Copy_V0.95_prebeta5

If I understand you correctly

Wait, not so simple.

I want to run this as an OPTION - (I'm using WPI to have the user select which programs to install).

That's why I need the COPY command, because if I put it into $OEM$\$PROG it will auto-copy, without giving me a choice...

So, what do I do?

[bonedaddy]

all right do a google for USSF, its a little progie that

tells the installer and switch. Don't know when the last

update was.

EDIT

PM me with your email and I'll send it to you.

im confused about how that prog will copy folders?

i just want a dos command to copy the folders/subfolders/files all at once....

This is what I'm using, but it doesn't work:

xcopy "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Exact_Audio_Copy_V0.95_prebeta5\" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\" /T /E

[a06lp]

Well, I solved it...

this is the correct code:

XCOPY "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\adobereader6\speedupreader.txt" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\" /E /Y
