Mekrel Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Ok, I know 6 is mentioned in the app switches sticky at the top, but im sure I have tried to install this version using the same switches.I tought I had cracked it, in this thread:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...35620&hl=syntaxUsing the code provided by Nologic:REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 2 /D "msiexec /i %systemdrive%\install\Applications\perfectdisk\Perfectdisk.msi /q ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL=\"PDEngine,HelpFiles,GUI,DesktopIcon\" INSTALL_DESKTOP_ICON=1" /fbut it refused to install.The info obtained to get the discussion in the thread linked to was a readme from the extracted installer.PerfectDisk (v5.0) Release Notes:1. Minimum System requirements: a. Windows XP, Windows 2000. b. Memory - 64MB (128MB recommended)2. Installation Options:Silent Install:***************msiexec /i Perfectdisk.msi /q ALLUSERS=1If you do not define the ALLUSERS property as 1, PerfectDisk WILL NOT WORK. The registry keys associated with PerfectDisk's services will not be given the proper permission set to allow the LocalSytem account to access them.ALLUSERS not defined - Installation will be a per-user installation, and the LocalSytstem account will not be able to start or use the PerfectDisk servicesALLUSERS=1 - Installation will be a per-machine installation, and PerfectDisk will silently install and be functional.Silent, GUI-less install:*************************msiexec /i Perfectdisk.msi /q ADDLOCAL="PDEngine,HelpFiles" ALLUSERS=1Features, which can be optionally installed, are: PDEngine GUI HelpFiles DesktopIconADDLOCAL property contains a comma delimited string of which features will be installed. NOTE: - The feature names are case sensitive!!! - There are no spaces in the comma delimited string - Installation of the GUI will automatically install PDEngine. - Specifying the DesktopIcon is not enough. You must also set DESK_TOP_ICON=1If ADDLOCAL is not defined at the command line PerfectDisk will by default install PDEngine, GUI, and HelpFiles.Alternate install path:***********************msiexec /i PerfectDisk.msi INSTALLDIR="E:\MY Programs\PerfectDisk"The INSTALLDIR property defines the installation directory. By default it is \\Program Files\Raxco\PerfectDisk.Silent Installation With a desktop Icon:*********************************msiexec /i PerfectDisk.msi /q ALLUSERS=1 DESK_TOP_ICON=1DESK_TOP_ICON property defines whether or not a shortcut to the desktop will be installed. If 1, it will be installed. Any other value or if not set, you will not get the shortcut. You must define this property as well as include the "DesktopIcon" feature.3. The Adobe Reader utility contained on this CD, has not been Windows 2000 logo certified to correctly run on the Windows 2000 operating system.Any ideas, ive virtually got all my apps installed now except this, MS antispyware which I now how to, steam, Nero and cuteFTP. I was going to purchase the upgrade to the latest version but Ive got be carefull on what I spend as my ISP has apparently been paid but hasnt shown on my bank statement, so i dont know how much money I have left in reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 You should try PerfectDisk 7 alot better than this oh nevermind. Anyway to answer your question, check for extra space and how you place your quotes. Also what other apps do you install right before or after this. It could be affecting it not installing.

I obviously replaced it untill i found a working solution. I could only think that Kerio would be causing the problem with not allowing some programs to execute but everything after kerio works fine anyway.I would buy number 7/latest one but cant untill 2 weeks time when i next get paid and my system is in need of a desperate reformat after all these unattended tests i have done on it.What is the importance of msiexec, other msi's command lines in my RunonceEx from tutorials on this forum/ ones i use myself done require this command.

1chaoticadult Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Media Codecs setup might be the problem. Download sleep.exe from unattended.msfn.com and use it to put a pause between msi (windows installer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 I dont think it is because i used to have the .exe self extracting codec setup before i found the msi, and still had the same problem.I however have just made a Autoit script and can also have it compiled to an exe, to use that script do i just execute the autoit script, or does autoit have to be installed before. Never used Autit before you see.Thanks for your help though mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) If its a compiled exe just run it. Right click on script and use the compile script command. The reason for the comment about media codecs because its a msi file? Well in the past I've had problems with two msis installing right after each other.

Mekrel Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 ok, cant actually get a silent install with autoit then :/, not to much of a problem as its only my CD for my computer and i aint gonna press cancel lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) What do mean you can't get an silent install? Explain please. Edited January 13, 2005 by 1chaoticadult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 As in, using Autoit it will launch the app and the Perfect disk menu will come up and i will see it run. Unlike using switches where you can hide the GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 You can hide the gui in autoit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Ok dont need Autoit anymore, found the solution.When I extract the PD5setup.exe thier is a dat file, which contains some registry settings.I changed this .dat file to a .reg file and merged it into the registry before launching the MSI as i did above. Installed fine with no problems .Now this isnt tested on a unattended machine, will do so in a second.All I want to know are 3 things:Do I need all the other files in the directory with the msi?Why do other msi installs on MSFN not use the msiexec i\ command, but call them like normal .exe with the switches followingI tried making this into a 7zip archieve but it doesnt do nothing when i run it, i used the same method in the nero post bellow but with no .sfxis the no sfx making the thing not work? How do i make one if so - ive tried searching thanks, plsss help me with this ive nearly finished my unattended CD then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 You probably need the other files with msi (it depends on the files, list them). All MSI files use msiexec. 7zip sfx - did you make a config.txt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) You need everything in the directory for perfectdisk. sfx all the files and get the sfx to launch setup.exe. You might not need instmsiw.exe though since windows installer comes with xp. Edited January 14, 2005 by 1chaoticadult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I personally don't like 7zip sfx files because of lack of customization options. I'm waiting on better sfx options. I use winrar sfx for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Yup i made a config.txt,Config.txt;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="pdisk.cmd";!@InstallEnd@!Pdisk.cmdREGEDIT /S Pdisk.regmsiexec /i Perfectdisk.msi /q ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL="PDEngine,HelpFiles,GUI,DesktopIcon" INSTALL_DESKTOP_ICON=1Installs fine by launching the .cmd file, but when in the 7zip its a no go,hangon, you said i have to launch the .Exe? That wont be a problem aslong as launching the exe will follow the command lines if i put them in the setup.ini. Right?Tested, yup putting them in the .INI Cmdlin= works perfect when launching the .EXE Thanks 1chaoticadult, thanks alot m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
