Funny name eh,

I'll give you 10 brownie points if you can guess what it means.

@Riggs he's already trying to install it that's the problem

Please Clarify for me - If I create an setup.iss file will it be only usefull to me on my computer? or will it be good for any PC I choose to install on?

An ISS will be good for any PC you choose to install on, and other PCs too.

Well, I think this might be the easiest solution to this dont you think?

That might be what is meant by

overide this event (OnMsiSilentInstall()) and provide your own implementation

The .iss file might be the implementation

just use this

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\pm\setup\setup.exe -s

eCHO.

make sure u have setup.iss file in the same directory

then import

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PowerQuest\PartitionMagic\8.0\UserInfo]

"Install Path"="C:\\Program Files\\PowerQuest\\PartitionMagic 8.0\\"

@=""

"VersionNumber"="80"

"Name"="MYComp"

"Company"="comp"

"SerialNumber"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

"License"="LICENSE.TXT"

and finally

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Protexis\Licenses\540606465]"Version"="1.2"

"Verification"=hex:43,5f,7c,5f,c6,27,d5,46,93,2d,13,40,28,bd,a5,b8,62,a2,e1,dd,\

  27,62,84,18,7e,2f,c1,fa,84,67,41,c7,68,e4,f7,99,44,5b,8b,6a,81,b5,2a,d7,74,\

  4d,37,85,e6,6c,5a,a2

"ReleaseCode"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

it works for me

peace

ganesh

thanks saved me from playing with the msi

ow btw are there any noticable updates and nice features in 8.05?

Change or repack msi file with wise for windows installer.Install shield suck

Summary:

Run install with /r - setup.exe /r - its create setup.iss in windows directory

copy setup.iss to dir with pqmagic

run instalation with switch /s /f1"setup.iss"

example c:\instalace\pqmagic\setup.exe /s /f1"c:\instalace\pqmagic\setup.iss"

no registry or setup.ini modify needed.

After reading all posts in this thread....

i've found my solution.

I have a folder containing the MSI-file, the setup.exe and some other files (no single setup.exe!)

start SETUP.EXE /r
install the App, give the serial and finish the installation
copy the setup.iss-file from Windows-folder (created by the /r-parameter) to the folder that contains the setup.exe.
now just start SETUP.EXE -S (setup.exe /s /f1"setup.iss" not working)
its silent. yeah.

Well you probably don't have to "give the serial" on the command line, forget that... just find the serial in the registry and as an addition to the bat file...

[quote]REGEDIT /S myserial.reg[/quote]

Just put your registry code for the serial in a .REG file.

Or if its contained in a .INI or .KEY file or whatever, xcopy that file to the directory it should be in after the silent install.

Nope,

by creating the setup.iss-file the serial is included after finishing install.
For that i not need to add any reg-file or something.

The serial and owner are included in the setup.iss
[code]...
[{21DBBDD6-93A5-4326-9A04-C9A5C9148502}-SdRegisterUserEx-0]
szName=Ein Anwender
szCompany=privat
szSerial=PM805EI1-xxxxxx
Result=1
...[/code]

so long

Thats correct.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other if you had to create the extra file "setup.iss" to put the serial in.
