Its only one reg entry, the app path which is needed.could you explain how to make a winrar sfx file, step by step, so that it is SILENTLY installed?(Also, do I have to do the reg stuff seperately, or can that be integrated as part of the SFX?)Thanks!

Famer Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 a06lp stop bumping your post some that has the answer will get to your post
1chaoticadult Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Sorry for the delay a06lp. Install Soulseek. Look in the registry (I Think Current User\Software) and find Soulseek. Export that to a reg file and put the reg file in the Soulseek directory. Next Select files in the Soulseek directory and right click and click on add to archive. In the WinRAR that popups up, click on the tab comment. Put this text there --->;The comment below contains SFX script commandsPath=SoulseekSetup=REGEDIT /S soulseek.regSilent=1Overwrite=1Afterwards click on the General tab again. Make sure the Compression Method is Best, Create Solid Archive and Create SFX Archive is checked and click OK.
a06lp Posted September 27, 2004 Author Posted September 27, 2004 the reg has a few soulseek entries, do you mean the "InstallPath"? (Current_User\Software\Soulseek)?when i add that to the SFX, and run it, it copies the files to Program Files\SoulSeek, which is perfect.BUT - soulseek is not in the add/remove programs list anymore... how do i add it there, like it normally is?
a06lp Posted September 27, 2004 Author Posted September 27, 2004 Ok, forget my last post. I figured it out.What you said was perfect, but to add Soulseek to the Add/Remove List I had to add another registry line. Then, I had to edit the InstallLOG to make sure the uninstaller would remove soulseek.reg as well.Here is a fully functional SILENT INSTALL of SoulSeek 1.52 Just run the .exe and it will install (and add itself to the Add/Remove List)Here's what I modified, for those who are curious:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SoulSeek]"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Soulseek"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Soulseek Client 152]"DisplayName"="Soulseek Client 152""UninstallString"="C:\\WINDOWS\\UnGins.exe \"C:\\Program Files\\Soulseek\\install.log\""[CreateDirs]C:\Program Files\Soulseek=[CopyFiles]C:\Program Files\Soulseek\message.wav=C:\Program Files\Soulseek\Readme.txt=C:\Program Files\Soulseek\slsk.exe=C:\Program Files\Soulseek\soulseek.reg=[Display]Charset=0[CreateKeys]HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Soulseek Client 152=[shortcuts]C:\Documents and Settings\N.
