twizt3d Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Ok all you people asking for the origional bittorrent forgot one very important thing, ITS OPEN SOURCE!!! you can make your own ::official:: installer to do what ever you want using python... now I bet half the people here have no idea how to do that so fear not, I have made the official BitTorrent 3.4.2 Switchless installer, My installer doesnt say you installed blah blah blah, and it doesnt install or load the html file at all. If there is interest I will make a switchless installer for 3.9.x the beta for 4, I will make one for 4 when it comes out... ~twizthttp://www.twizt3d.com/files/BitTorrent-3.4.2.exe <-Switchlessto run it you can modify this to fit your batch file, or run this as a batchfile to test the installer.@echo offtitle Installing BitTorrent 3.4.2 Switchless Edition by Twizt3d DesignZECHO Windows will now install additional programs onto your computer.ECHO.ECHO Installing BitTorrent 3.4.2 Switchless Edition by Twizt3d DesignZECHO Please wait...start /wait .\setup\BitTorrent.exeECHO.ECHO BitTorrent 3.4.2 Switchless Edition by Twizt3d DesignZ was installed successfully.EXIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemal Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Sounds like a fantastic idea, however your installer doesn't seem to install bittorrent successfully for me.It installs silently. but when I try to load a torrent file or open the btdownloadgui.exe I get an error. Straight from the logfile:Traceback (most recent call last): File "btdownloadgui.py", line 262, in run File "btdownloadgui.py", line 249, in __init__ File "wx\_core.pyc", line 5301, in __init__ File "wx\_core.pyc", line 4980, in _BootstrapApp File "btdownloadgui.py", line 253, in OnInit File "btdownloadgui.py", line 108, in __init__ File "wx\_core.pyc", line 9205, in AddTypeError: wxWindow, wxSizer, wxSize, or (w,h) expected for itemI uninstalled and reinstalled the official bittorrent and all works fine, uninstalled that again and tried your installer, same error. I usually use bittornado, which also works fine. as does ABC, so I don't think its a problem with my system.P.S. I unsinstalled all torrent programs prior to trying your installer...

totoymola Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Nice work. But I still don't get the purpose of a "switchless" installer. What are the other differences between this version and the original installer other than being "switchless"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the other differences between this version and the original installer other than being "switchless"?You will find in the original installer when you use the silent switch it still pops up a dialogue telling you its completed the installation, to which you must click 'Ok' and also opens your webbrowser to the homepage. So in fact the silent install is not so silent.Perhaps he should have said 'true silent switchless' rather than just switchless., but it does have a purpose.

I use BitTornado, with no bull$h!t. Just in case you want to make a switch from bittorrent to bittornado, it is easier to install (just use /S), or if you want a customized version, I created an msi here.http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=241182No switch needed too.

twizt3d Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 yes I have seen the error in my scripting, but this is an error in the source that is released on bittorrent.com, Im trying to fix it, but im not very good with python, i do java myself, I found one of the errors, but it was just a typo and im not sure what the deminsion should be, im still working on it tho... It seems the source that brahm has released is not the one that he uses on his installer. Im also working on removing all "donate" refrences.
