Create a SFX archive with the following comment;

Path=%systemdrive%\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\QuickTime
SavePath
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

I run the SFX first, so creating the prefs file first, then the install will use the registration and prefs. from this file.

I'm confused. Which version of QuickTime are we talking about? The pro version? Or the free iTunes version? Because their installers are very different.

QuickTime Pro ----> Vise installer

iTunes -------------> InstallShied InstallScript MSI wrapped into an EXE.

For the iTunes we have two options.

a. Install from the AIP. To get the AIP, run iTunesSetup.exe /a

b. Install from the original setup file. Run iTunesSetup.exe /s/v/q

Vise installers don't support the /a switch.

ARGH! I've read these posts about the Quicktime 6.5.X silent installs with the .ini file about a million and one times but for the life of me can't get mine to work. I'm trying to install the free quicktime player through the RunOnceEx.cmd method. I downloaded the full installer from Apple's website.

Here's the line(s) from my RunOnceEx.cmd file:

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "QuickTime 6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /v 1 /D "%systemdrive%\installs\Quicktime\QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe" /f

and here's my QuickTimeFullInstaller.ini file contents

[QTPrefs]
ConnectionSpeed=2147483647
CSMultipleStreams=1

[QTSETUP]
license_option=0
no_dialogs=1
registration_dialog=0
supress_speed_dialog=1
install_qtjava=1
install_qd3d=1
install_quicklaunch_icons=0
install_desktop_icons=0
show_sample=0
show_readme=0
show_programfolder=0
install_qtinfo=0

Could someone please tell what I'm doing wrong?!? My QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe and the QuickTimeFullInstaller.ini files are in the same directory. The RunOnce calls the installer ok, i just can't get it to read the .ini file. I'd prefer not to use the Quicktime Alternative or install Quicktime via itunes. thanks

use this

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Quicktime Player 6.5.2" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Quicktime\QuickTime652.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 2 /D "rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %systemdrive%\install\quicktime\QuickTimeSettings.inf" /f

use this and install the .ini and the inf in your quicktime directory

good luck

I have been looking at doing this for a while and managed to resolve issue with help from you guys and from mindvision.com site.

I used this command line;

<pathname>\QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe -s

and the .ini file is called;

quicktimeinstaller.ini

as anything else fails all the time

quicktimeinstaller.ini file looks like this;

;QuicktimeInstaller.ini
[QTSETUP]
license_option=0
no_dialogs=true
registration_dialog=false
supress_speed_dialog=true
install_qtjava=false
install_qd3d=true
install_quicklaunch_icons=false
install_desktop_icons=false
show_sample=false
show_readme=false
show_programfolder=false
install_qtinfo=false

[QTPREFS]
show_hotpicks=false
ConnectionSpeed="1.5 Mbps T1/Intranet/Lan"
CSMultipleStreams=0

You need both files in same folder.

It does show you what is happening, but does it all with no user interaction.

I have NOT tried via runonceex.cmd or wpi, but will do later on and update.

Edit:This is all based on QuickTimeFullInstaller v6.5.2

Have done the above with no issues - installed via WPI, so no reason to not work in runonceex.

Just in case you wanted to know.

oioldman - great its working for QT 7.0 Public beta too!!!

But install_desktop_icons=false - not working

and QT logo in tray (near clock) is still there.

Anybody knows how to fix it?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Are you refering to ver 7 beta or 6.5.2?

If the latter, my ver doesn't put it in the system tray but does create desktop icon.

Visit my site if u want it ready-made... if not, here's my .ini:

[QTSETUP] 
license_option=0 
no_dialogs=true 
registration_dialog=false 
supress_speed_dialog=true
install_qttask=false
install_qtjava=false 
install_qd3d=false 
show_sample=false 
show_readme=false 
show_programfolder=false 
install_qtinfo=true

Enjoy,

[oioldman]

heres a question,

Does anybody have a full list of all the options that can be put in the .ini file?(pref for 6.5.2)

[fanatf1]

it_ybd

Yes im interest in 7 beta.

I`ll try you ini. maybу it helps.

[tarquel]

as stated, my posted ini is for 6.5.2 but it *may* work for version 7 beta...

Would be useful to know but this is offtopic so maybe create a new topic for this - if one does not exist.

Regards
