CursorXP Unattended Guide

[mickmack]

Stardock CursorXP is a program that lets you use and create incredibly cool looking Windows mouse cursors.

It does this by taking advantage of the new visual effects features of Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

CursorXP users can create and use cursors that look and feel far superior to anything you've ever seen before! Best of all, it's really easy to create your own super-charged cursors! It integrates into the standard Mouse interface of Windows and is easy to turn on and off as you need.

you can download CursorXP from HERE

what we need.

1. WinRar

2. CursorXPfree or CursorXPPro (for pro users, you should first install the program, and then use files stored in "C:\Program Files\CursorXP" directory)

3. attached file "cursorxp.reg" (edit "CurrentTheme"= & "Language"= to the theme & language you like)

Download & extract with WinRar all the files to C:\CursorXP. put to the same folder regfile "cursorxp.reg". Put to the folder "Themes" additional themes that you like. select all the files, right klick on them and choose "add to winrar". click the "comment" tab and under the words "enter the comments manually" paste this

Path=C:\Program Files\CursorXP

SavePath

Setup=REGEDIT /S cursorxp.reg

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

Klick on Ok and you get silent, configured, self installing file.

Change

Path=C:\Program Files\CursorXP

to

Path=CursorXP

No matter where %ProgramFiles% is located then.

Has anyone else experienced a problem in mapping any theme other than the default? Simply importing the registry settings did not work correctly for me, so I fell back on an AutoIt install method: 1. install the program normally to ensure that all .dll's are registered correctly, 2. copy over the preferred theme file, 3. map the new theme via the CursorXP configuration utility.

i use a .cmd file which extracts itself into the themes folder and applyes my selected theme. then everything works fine.

if eny1 can get this working then that would be fantastic.. as ive got cursor xp pro & wanted to find out how to do a silent install of it.. but have had no replys so far....

[mickmack]

in my reg file change 0013D620 to 0013D621 and you get it. the problem is that you can't unpack PRO as you can do with free cuz it's under password.

[ghostware2004]

yer i know, but wondered if there was a way of installing & entering the s/n in quite mode.. its something that a few co's have done they keep requesting u to insert s/n in the install & it cant be recognised by switch finder...

(Edit) Dont worry i got round the switchs.. ive installed Cursor XP whilst using install rite to then get a silent standalone package.. best way round it, means no need for the s/n & it updates reg & all files with no problems
