I'm trying to do a silent install and tweaking of RealPlayer v10.5. I'm using the "realplayer10-5gold_bb.exe" install file. I've been able to get it to silently install and to configure my default settings automatically through a batch file, but am having a pain with the initial startup screen you get when launching RealPlayer.

I am NOT able to bypass the initial "Google Toolbar and Google Desktop Search" screen. Following this screen is the user registration info (name, email address, etc). By just closing this window with the X in the corner I can bypass the whole user registration info and my RealPlayer is all pre-configured with all my particular settings.

I'd like to get rid of this initial google toolbar installer screen. It seems as though if you set the "LastLoginTime" and "LastStartupVersion" to the same number (which looks like a UNIX timestamp to me), it seems to initially bypass the google toolbar installer and user registation screens and takes me right to the realplayer.

Now the problem is that the LastLoginTime and LastStartupVersion numbers seem to need to be within 24hours of the system clock in order for it to work.

Has anyone found a way to bypass this stupid Google toolbar installer screen and the user registration?

RealPlayer alternative is not a solution. We need to be able to use the original RealPlayer software.

Anyhelp would be GREATLY appreciated! :yes:

Here's what I'm doing:

I found a solution. If you set the LastLoginTime to "999999999999999999" (a date in the future), you'll never see the Google Toolbar installer screen:

REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\RealNetworks\RealPlayer\6.0\Preferences\LastLoginTime /ve /t REG_SZ /d "999999999999999999" /f > NULL

My entire RealPlayer install script is below:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL

SET INSTALLERPATH=\\apps-01\incoming\apps\RealPlayer v10.5
