ACDSee 7.0 PowerPack - Full

[mazin]

This is how I install ACDSee 7 PowerPack - Full Version. This version installs for all users by default. And it doesn't reboot a PC.

You can pick the MSI up from here: C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\{2C002EC4-2787-41B3-A882-EE992406C096}\ACDSee 7.0 PowerPack.msi It won't be gone even if you reboot your PC.

cls

@echo off

ECHO ACDSee 7.0 PowerPack Full

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\ACDSee\ACDSee.msi /QB PIDKEY=your key with dashes LICENSE_MODEL=Full

ECHO.

del "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\ACD FotoSlate 3.1.lnk"

del "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\ACD Photo Editor 3.1.lnk"

del "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\ACDSee 7.0.lnk"

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\ACDSee\ACDSee.reg

EXIT

If you want to delete the shortcut folder in Start menu, add this line:

RD /S /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\ACD Systems"

If you want to exclude some features of ACDSee, read my 7th post below.

This is what you should see after installation (Help --> myACD):

I tried mazin's method above but was also getting the buy now link on my desktop. To remove it, I added the following to my command line.

REMOVE=BuyNowACDSeeTrial,BuyNowPowerPackTrial

[Powerhouse]

I'm a little lost with this one. Where are you guys getting the .msi file from? My ACDSee 7 is an .exe file (acdseepowerpack.exe).

[Alanoll]

Execute the EXE. Let SETUP just sit there.

Go to %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp

And there should be a new folder in there from the ACDSee install. Inside it is the MSI.

[totoymola]

Or you can use the /A switch first.

where do you add it?

[mazin]

ACDSee.reg was updated in the first post. Also, a path to MSI was added. Oh, and Alanoll's suggestion for MSI path works, too.

how can i preconfig acdsee 7 via regedit for idividual configuration in "perference"

anyone with an idea??

[CoffeeFiend]

Ok, I finally got around to try it again using mazin's method and it worked perfectly. I tried to add that REMOVE= ... but then it complained about an internal error. Without it, it doesn't install any of the trial stuff anyways, so no need for it. (myACD shows full registered too)

As for mazin's reg tweak, I wouldn't use it as is. Your color managemet information is only partial. That made my acdsee preview and view pictures as solid black until I entered all the information in the options. Other than that the rest is fine, although I do customize more stuff personally (like viewer in full screen, black background, etc).

@nemesis5

Look at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ACD Systems\ACDSee\70]

Export it, remove the junk (keep just what you want). That's it. Nothing else to it. If you got some extra settings it shouldn't hurt anyways as overwriting the default settings with your previous (identical) default settings won't make a difference..

@mazin thanks! That command line and EULA reg tweaks saved me some time

[mazin]

Thank you crahak for confirmation.

Reg tweaks I added are just the main ones. I can update the first post if any one likes to add some.

EDIT: Yes, you're right, crahak. I removed that reg key.

I seem to have a problem with "registry" while attempting to run the application after installing using mazin's method. Please advice ...

See screenshoot

[mazin]

The registry was tampered with. Please reinstall the application.

This can happen only if you install ACDSee in trial mode then try to enter your key via Registry. Or you installed over a previous installation.

If you use my batch as it is on a clean machine, you won't face this problem.

Do yourself a favor, and don't post a 2 meg file. Convert it to jpg. Save everyone some bandwidth.

The way to fix your problem is to delete

[HKLM\Software\ACD Systems\LM]

Then reinstall.

I used these lines for setup.cmd

@echo off

cls

Echo Install ACDsee Power Pack 7.0

start /wait msiexec.exe /I "ACDsee7.msi"  PIDKEY=***** TRANSFORMS="unattended.MST" /qb-

ECHO.

ECHO Deleting Shortcuts and Applying Tweaks

del "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\ACD FotoSlate 3.1.lnk"

del "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\ACDSee 7.0.lnk"

del "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Buy ACDSee*.*"

del "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\ACD Systems\Buy ACDSee*.*"

start /wait REGEDIT /S ACDSee7.reg

copy /Y lmclient.dll "%programfiles%\Common Files\ACD Systems\EN"

EXIT

The unattended.mst file is made by Custom Installation Wizard under MSO2003 toolkit. Works just fine for me. Hope you can apply it.

the trial stuff doesn't need to be deleted if you have a retail serial no (unlike the key you should not have posted btw).

copying a cracked lmclient.dll isn't necessary if you don't use a warez version.
