jacksont123 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) I tryed to extract it then installing it silently, by using the -s switch but it didnt work. :/When I try it it initializes setup.exe then within a matter of seconds, it closes it. ://extract_all:<path> : Package's files should not be run but simply extracted (InstallScript and InstallScript MSI projects only)Specifies that a self-extracting package's files should not be run but simply extracted to the location that is specified by <path>.I hope someone figures it out.Link Removed ~ Alanoll Edited July 28, 2005 by Alanoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) Google Earth uses InstallShield. I did a record mode setup using the '/r' switch, which creates a 'setup.iss' response file in the %WinDir% folder. GE extracts a couple folders to the %temp% folder, i copied setup.iss to the Disk1 folder and tried running setup with '/s' but its asking for data2.cab which im not sure how to get? As of right now i just repacked it as an msi. Edited July 25, 2005 by DigeratiPrime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksont123 Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) your supposed to extract the installer as I saidin cmd run it like this:GoogleEarthPro.exe /extract_all:C:it will extract in C:\ you will find a folder called disk1 and find data2.cabhow did you repack it as a msi?could you send it to me once you have data2.cab?

jacksont123 Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 i've tried that already, and it didn't workit may work for Google Earth but not Google Earth Prodid you try installing it silently with Google Earth Pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) I use Google Earth Free, I dont have Google Earth Pro. Pro comes with full support, why not ask google?But I tested the method above and can confirm it works for the Free version.

totoymola Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hi. If it works on Google Earth, then there is no reason why it is not gonna work on the pro version.By the way, that is a new installshield switch. I don't think I've seen that before. I still don't understand why they didn't use msi for their installer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksont123 Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 that is kinda weird how it doesnt work on prois there a way to make the installer a msi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 (edited) ok i just tried it with pro, it would not install using the setup.iss from the Free version.
