Available switches...

The Axialis Installer command-line syntax includes the following options:

/w  Windows® ME/2000 User Interface - Forces the installation to use a standard ME/2000 user interface. By default the UI is chosen automatically (based on Windows® version).

Command-line Examples

1.  Install the application in quiet mode (no user input) to folder "C:\Program Files\Axialis\Test":

Install /q /f "C:\Program Files\Axialis\Test"

2.  Install the application in quiet mode to the default folder without copying the Librarian files. The Librarian folder is configured by default:

Install /q /x

3.  Install the application in quiet mode to the default folder without copying the Librarian files. The Librarian folder is configured to "//mainserver/Common Files/Librarian":

Install /q /x /l "//mainserver/Common Files/Librarian"

4.  Install the application in quiet mode. Specify the user license info:

Install /q /u "John Smith" /c "The Firm"  /k "12345678-12345-12345-12345-12345"

My entry in RunOnceEx is:

REG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "Icon Workshop" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 00 /D "direxist \"%cdrom%\utilities\Icon Workshop\" Please insert next disk with TaskSitchXP" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%utilities\Icon Workshop\IconWork.exe\" /q /u "MyName" /c "Mty Firm"  /k "MySerial"" /f

Now Im sure its because of all the "" eveywhere, but the commandline instruction says personal details must be in ""... I have tired various combinations, with no success...

Anyone help??

EDIT: I will try exporting/importing regfile.. that may work...

Sorted The usual place...

You will find that if you add additional " " quotation marks in the REG ADD entries, it won't be imported to the Windows Registry. To work around this, use a backslash \" for every quotation you intend to add, for example:

Thank's !!!!!!

****!

I am so glad that someone figured this out.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how you placed those backslashes.

REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%utilities\Icon Workshop\IconWork.exe\" /q /u "MyName" /c "Mty Firm"  /k "MySerial"\" /f

Is that right or am I missing something?

REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%utilities\Icon Workshop\IconWork.exe\" /q /u \"MyName\" /c \"Mty Firm\" /k \"MySerial\"" /f

Is that right or am I missing something?

Just a few more needed. I believe that should be right. A leading backslash for each internal double quote.

This is taken from my working .cmd file... took me ages to figure out the quotes!!!! Simply check the location, and enter serial number

REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 01 /D "\"%cdrom%\UaXPsoft\IconWork\IconWork.exe\" /q /u \"NAME\" /c \"COMPANY\" /k \"SERIAL HERE\" /l \"X:\LIBRARY\IconWorkshop\"" /f

You may also need to change/remove the location /l \"X:\LIBRARY\IconWorkshop\" as this is specific to my library destinationdestination..

REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 01 /D "\"%cdrom%\UaXPsoft\IconWork\IconWork.exe\" /q /u \"NAME\" /c \"COMPANY\" /k \"SERIAL HERE\"" /f

Just change what you need, but dont remove any further " or /...

(identical to post above)... should work fine!!

Awesome.

Thanks guys!

I remember repackaging this program to an msi some time ago because their poor installer did not support silent installation. I'm glad they changed it.
