some problems

[ripken204]

i am trying to use runonce off of my cd and i am having some problems with some of the installs

acrobat reader gives me the error in the attached pic, when i run it in windows to silent install works fine but not off of the cd

perfectdisk just kind of hangs, again only on the cd, in windows is works fine

do you think that they might need temp files but cant put them on the cd? what solutions do you think that i could use? maybe put them in the oem folder and install from there?

i just ran them off of the cd from vmware and they installed fine, but they wont install the runonce method

same thing with ms antispyware

well i got the others fixed but perfect disk just wont work, any1? it installs fine from within xp but not during the install, maybe it need certain files in windows to install?

I took note of some PerfectDisk installations in other posts:

1. Install and register PerfectDisk 7.0

2. Right click on the PerfectDisk installer "setup-workstation.exe" and using WinRAR - Extract files...

Extract files into a new folder called "files"

3. Inside the "files" folder edit the Config.ini file in "program files\Raxco\PerfectDisk\" to your tastes. I like to enable all OfflineDefrag options.

4. Open regedit and export your Licence key to a file called PDisk.reg It should look like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Raxco\PerfectDisk\7.0]
"License"=hex:**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**,**

Put this reg file in the "files" folder also.

5. Now for the silent installation - Using a text editor create a new file in the "files" folder called "PDisk.cmd" with the following text:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
start /wait regedit /s PDisk.reg
start /wait msiexec /i PerfectDisk.msi /qn ALLUSERS=1 CONFIG=1

6. Follow instructions on how to make a 7-zip switchless installer:

Tutorial For Making A 7-Zip Switchless Installer

The config.txt file for the 7-zip switchless installer looks like this:

;!@Install@!UTF-8!
RunProgram="PDisk.cmd"
;!@InstallEnd@!

Your new switchless installer can be run from runonce.

I seem to have trouble getting Perfectdisk to install using the above instructions. I've followed them pretty much to the letter, but although the install program runs, it doesn't seem to installed anywhere on my drive. I'm using Perfectdisk 7.0 (downloaded version - pd70fw.exe). I've even extracted all the files from all the directories and put them in the same directory. Still no go. Trying to install under W2K using runonceex.

Any clues as to what I might be doing wrong?

thanks
