Help With My Script

**demonx** · October 31, 2004

After Much reading last night I finally begun to understand how to do the windows update method.

Made my script but having a few problems.

Norton Antivirus 2003 won't install

Adobe Acrobat 6 won't install

Windows Media Player 10 won't install

MSN Messenger 6.2 won't install

ADD Aware installs but tries to run as well

Here is my code below

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\acrobat\adobe.exe /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.1" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\SetupDl.exe /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "K-Lite codec pack" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\codecs\codecs.exe /silent" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Ad-Aware" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\aaw\aawsepersonal.exe /s" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Norton AV" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\norton\norton.exe /qn /noreboot REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Norton AV" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\real\real.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Media Player 10" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\wmp\mp10setup.exe /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /P:#e" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f

EXIT

Ok, here is what I got:

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "MS Windows Media Player 10" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\MediaPlayer
\WMP10.exe /Q:A /C:\"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore\"" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 6.0.1" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader\AR6.msi /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 6.2" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Messenger\MsnMsgs.msi /qn" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\009 /VE /D "LavaSoft Ad-Aware SE 1.05" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\009 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Ad-Aware\aawsepersonal.exe /smart +silent +update" /f

For Adobe Reader and Messenger, you have to decompress the .exe installer with WinRAR for example. This will result in 2 files for both.

For Ad-Aware, some people use TASKKILL to stop it but I didn't had any success with it so I decided to install Ad-Aware as my last application...

For Norton Antivirus I can't help you... somebody else will certainly give a hint!

Maybe you could use the SEARCH function... all theses are common answered questions

Wow that was fast, thanks for the replies. I was up until 5 a.m reading this stuff and up again at 7a.m. trying to figure where I went wrong

So am guessing but the post by SCOOBS I don't need to extract adode and MSN after all?

**Incroyable HULK** · October 31, 2004

well SC00BS didn't post about MSN so you'll have to extract it anyway...

For Adobe, I think it will install faster if it is extracted... not sure... and I don't remember if you save some space if not extracted...

**demonx** · October 31, 2004

Ok here it is now thanks to the help, good to go?

Oh and I'm going to make adaware the last in that group

It should, I took a quick look at it

Thanks, I couldn't pick your brain for how to do trillian not pro but the regular version could I?

**Incroyable HULK** · October 31, 2004

Sorry, I don't even know what is this app!

Use the Search function... I've already seen this one somewhere

**demonx** · October 31, 2004

No problem, now that I think about it I rather not have it install by default

**Incroyable HULK** · October 31, 2004

I found it easily

HERE

**demonx** · October 31, 2004

Looks like it is still having a few problems

Adobe dosen't install throws up a batch error

Notron goes through fine, but dosen't actually install something

Windows media player looks like the same thing, but I get an error that I can't read because the PC restarts itself.

When it comes back up gives me the 90 seconds until shutdown and Adaware starts up.

**Incroyable HULK** · October 31, 2004

For Adobe Reader, you should use my method.

For Norton, I don't know because I use a Corporative Version

For MediaPlayer 10, I don't get it since it works perfectly with my installation

For Ad-Aware, place it just before the Reboot and Cleanup command.

Make sure your syntax is flawless!

**demonx** · October 31, 2004

Will adjust the Acrobat

going to just take Norton out of the mix, maybe that will fix up media player 10.

I got MSN to "unzip" but can't figure how to get adobe to do the same.

**Incroyable HULK** · October 31, 2004

I can't remember how I extracted exactly... I think you have to start the installation process and there is a temporary folder somewhere like %systemroot%\Cache\Adobe Reader 6\ and you can get the 2 files from there (don't cancel the setup until you get thoses files) but I don't remember if I used a switch on the .exe

On the other hand, I just downloaded Adobe Reader 6.0.1 Full version and there is 10Mo less than my method... so I will try to install with the silent switch HERE
