MsgPlus 3 Unattended Install

[Thauzar]

Hi,

I installed msn plus with the hereby mentionned runonceex command, I dbl checked, it's similar except I kept the original filename for messenger plus.

The problem: 1 over 3 installations gets an error, and when getting in windows for the first time after runonceex is done and rebooted, well an error occurs, the cpu reboots again, and then when back to windows it says something about repairing msgplus installation... that sucks and is not constant. What is causing this error?

Evening,

Perhaps an stupide question , but what is Pskill and Taskkill, what are they doing?

What is they job?

What do i risk with those progs?

Thanks

Pskill and Taskkill are used to terminate open processes. so messenger isn't openned after the installation.

ah ok thanks for your replay

@SiMoNsAyS

Can i question something to you, but something different than msg?

[SiMoNsAyS]

@Alpheratz13 of course just PM me or if you don't know how just post it here (a little offtopic doesn't do any damage )

Hi,

It's okay, i found the answer on my question

Thanks.

But if you can help me (still about with Msgplus)

How do i default language in French?

I look at the registre but don't found, do you know it?

Second question, since i put Msgplus like this :

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qb" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\046 /VE /D "MSN Messenger Plus! 3.20" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\046 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\MsgPlus320\MsgPlus-320.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 2 /D "pskill.exe MsgPlus.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 3 /D "pskill.exe msnmsgr.exe" /f

The Msn Messenger 6.2 are running after install.

Commande line before was :

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\messengeroff.reg" /f

and the messengeroff.reg :

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

;remove MSN Messenger from start-up
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-

If you can see switch was before yours /qn (i don't know what is the different between /qb and /qn).

What do i wrong?

What i said before, Msg 6 is running after finish the Unattend install.

Thanks for your help.

for setting your language on msgplus3 as enuffsaid ,

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2]
"LanguageFile"="Lang_Espanol (Espana).ini"

just go to your lang dir and check how it's named the ini file for your language, then replace that string.

now be sure that pskill kills the process until launching this reg file,

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MessengerPlus3"=-

this will remove startup entries for msgplus and msgr, you can put together all the tweaks and call the .reg file like

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Messenger62\MsnMsgs.msi /qb" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\046 /VE /D "MSN Messenger Plus! 3.20" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\046 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\MsgPlus320\MsgPlus-320.exe /SilentInstallNoSponsor" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 2 /D "pskill.exe MsgPlus.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 3 /D "pskill.exe msnmsgr.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\046 /V 4 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\MsgPlus320\MsgPlus.reg"

now differences between /qn and /qb. if you launch your .msi with /? switch a little help can point you the difference. /qb (quiet basic display), will display a progress bar while installing. /qn (quiet no display) won't display anything, it's transparent to the user. hope it can helps

Evening,

@SiMoNsAyS :

I like to thank you for your help and let you know it's works great , except

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2]
"LanguageFile"="Lang_Francais.ini"

It's don't works for me,

perhaps i have do all tree of [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou] with all my preferences and paths

What do you think?

Is possible whole tree of [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou], if yes, i put the same .reg as MsgPlus.reg??

I'll waiting for your answer.

Hi again,

It's works

Thanks to SiMoNsAyS

It's don't start automatic, cool.

But, they are BUT, i try explain what i mean with (but),

Ok, everythings are fine, it's dont start the progamme, (here come the but),

If you open Messenger 6.2 and go to your preferences/General you don't touch anything, you cancel the preferences and you reboot your computer, after reboot, the messenger go open..do a try and you see what i mean.

Because in the registre you see this :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MsnMsgr"=-

that's is ok, but if you go to the preferences/General of messenger you see the case "start automatic with Windows" (perhaps in english are different words) enable, you see?

That's way when you open the preferences and even you do nothing at all only seeing, so is more half automatic.

Perhaps i have wrong, but i found that why case in preferences/General is still enable not disable.

So someone has an idee?

Irving

PS, sorry for my bad explain/english

PS, of course i tested in VMware Workstation, so i don't know if is also in the real windows install, i test that too soon.
