Run the setup [wbsamp.exe]

Do nothing and goto your temp directory

You will see a directory 'WebshotsTemp'.

In that dir U will see 2 files;

1) WebshotsAutoCollection.wbp

2) wssetup.exe

Move them 2 the install dir

Make a batchfile with this in it.

CLS
@ECHO OFF
TITLE Webshots Desktop 2.0

START /WAIT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Webshots\wssetup.exe /S
TaskKill /F /IM webshots.scr
DEL /F "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Webshots Desktop.lnk"
REGEDIT /S %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Webshots\webshots.reg
ECHO.

:hello: good luck

This does not work. Well it works in basically installing Webshots, but it does not install any sample pictures and therefore Webshots is turned off by default due to the unavailability of any pictures to Webshots. The Script above by Mazin works fine on the other hand.

Yes! I PMed that method to muslim (the poster) and he reported the same result, too. Extraction method didn't work.

I think we can stick to that script unless there's news.

However, there's a good idea if you have a lot of pics other than those installed by default. Especially, if you frequently download pics and don't want to lose them when formatting your system drive.

Have you tried something like that?

I have lots of pics in my Webshots Data folder in My Documents. After I am done with my unattended installation I cut and paste the Favorites folder into the My Documents folder (C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents). I then cut and move the 'My Documents' Folder to 'D:\User\My Documents'. This way every time I reformat I do not lose My Documents or anything inside it including the 'Webshots Data folder with all my pictures.

By the way what is the lowest amount of time that you have had success with in the script:

WScript.Sleep(10000);//time to extract EXE

WScript.Sleep(15000);//time to install

I tried the following succesfully:

WScript.Sleep(4000);//time to extract EXE

WScript.Sleep(5000);//time to install

I suppose this is something that would be somewhat dependent on the computer speed, right?

- After installation:

1- Open Webshots, go to Options --> Advanced. Press "Move Photos...".

In the "Folder name" field, type D:\WebShots, and press "Select".

- For unattended installation:

2- Add this line to your batch file:

RD /S /Q "%UserProfile%\My Documents\Webshots Data"

3- Add this tweak to your webshots.reg:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Webshots\The Webshots Desktop\General]"Photo Storage Folder"="D:\\WebShots\\"

- You need to do the first step only once.

- Steps 2 & 3 are done every unattended installation.

This is how I do it.

And yes, your intervals (4000, 5000) are quite enough.
