REQ: switch for HyperSnap and Vueprint Pro anyone?

[Astalavista]

does anyone know how to silently install hypersnap and vueprint pro?

[CoffeeFiend]

Hypersnap uses a proprietary installer, ie: no switches will work.

Several things you can do:

-copy the files and export reg entries...

-use a script (like this one)

-capture install and repackage as .msi file

(...)

As for vueprint pro (never used it), if it works like vuescan, just copy the installed files (the license is a file inside the directory) and the shortcuts. (Althought it seems like it adds a bunch of reg entries/shell integration - that you could easily capture with something like RegSnap - that's if you want to keep it) You could make it into a sfx too (or again capture the install, or autoit, ...)

(asking for them over and over again will not magically make the installers have switches to install them silently... sometimes, there just aren't any)

hi Crahak... **** so many post in so little time... amazing.

what is the program that captures the actions u make when installing a program?

[CoffeeFiend]

InstallRite would work and is free (it records changes to the system, and wraps it all up in an installer package)

If you got serious money to spend, then there are other, much more powerful (and much more complex) apps by InstallShield/Wise/...

you are wrong it turns out there is a switch for hypersnap i just had a chat with the developers at hyperionics

update boys & girls it appears that the installer of HyperSnap is a SFX

So here is the instructions on how to install it silently. (setup.exe -s)

1. download HyperSnap 5.61 from here.

2. using winrar open the file

3. edit the comment to

Setup=setup.exe -s
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

4 your done!

|RunonceEX.cmd code is

REG ADD %Key%\073 /VE /D "HyperSnap 5.61" /f
REG ADD %Key%\073 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\HyperSnap\HS5setup.exe" /f
REG ADD %Key%\073 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Software\HyperSnap\MyRegkey.exe" /f

YAHOO!!! ]

Crahak, what particular software from InstallShield or Wise?

edit: It is a tool included in InstallShield AdminStudio.

Hi,

@Astalavista: If you put your license file named HprSnap5.hs5lic into yr SFX file, it will install the license as well.

Then,

|RunonceEX.cmd code is

REG ADD %Key%\073 /VE /D "HyperSnap 5.61" /f
REG ADD %Key%\073 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\HyperSnap\HS5setup.exe" /f

Regards
