install a program with the serial included

[chuckman45]

is there a way to put the serial in a program. so the next time i have to install the program it doesn't ask for the serial.

Wrong forum section m8,

also depends on the program, some have application switches which allow the registration info to be specified.

but others you may have to enter using a .reg file to change the registry

depends on the program. some programs write the key to the registry, some programs make a change to a file. so you gotta find out which way the program saves the serial.

@chuckman45

It would help us if you told us the program or programs you are trying to install with a serial. We could then point you in the right direction.

the program is called cyberlink powerdirector

Probably uses installshield, most cyberlink products do. not sure though. Someone check that out.

Concerning powerdirector 4 it doesn't any switches as long as i know, so i created an autoit script that it dees everthing as expected if you wánt the script i can send it to you, i have even script for power encoder mpeg v1.0 which installs silently. though it is possible to create a setup.iss but you can not change the absolute installation path to relative. i say it because i tested it. i am using xp swedish version in C and need have a dual boot, i.e want have another system in D. let us xp english version. if the path in setup.iss is c:\program\powerdirector it will always install in that path even if you run it from D and want to install in D.
