ok after getting inspired by RogueSpear from this post.. i decided to further go with the DVD Decrypter installer.

well his DVD Decrypter installer was good, worked like a charm.. however i didn't like the fact that the user could still hit Help -> Check for New Version or check the box in settings for Check for New Version on startup.. I also didn't like the links in the about box since from what i've heard any access to the authors website will get your IP Logged by the people that took his domain down. (I'm superparanoid lol)

anyways, what i've changed was:

1. removed most of the help menu items. (only About is left).

2. hid the settings checkbox for update on next reboot and made it Enabled = False

3. hid the links, web + email labels on the about box.. so no accidental clicks there.

then made a Nullsoft Install System Script *attached* to make the shortcuts on the startmenu, make an uninstaller and add a registry key to tell DVDDecrypter to not check for updates.

now this is where i got happy... even if the user was to go into the registry and turn the update feature back on... it comes back with an error of "ProgramUpdateThread Runtime Exception!".. and doesn't try to connect... so its pretty much 99% non-update proof (i'm sure theres probably a way that someone would find out how to make it update lol)

Silent Switch: /S

NSI File: http://rapidshare.de/files/8168930/DVDDecrypter.nsi.html

*Incase someone doesn't know what an nsi file is... NSI File is Nullsoft Install System, Basically a Script for the installer and registry stuff.. open the file in notepad if you want to take a look. this file is UNNECESSARY to use the installer and will run perfectly fine without this file.*

Hope someone finds this helpful. If anyone finds any bugs please let me know. I'll get them sorted ASAP. I haven't had any problems with it so far.

thanks for the comments all

I have found one minor bug.. and that is if another user account is created the reg string for the disable auto update doesn't come over with that user.. a simple bugfix for this for now is to run this regstring on the account with the problem..

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DVD Decrypter]
"EVENTS_CheckForProgramUpdate"=dword:00000000

if you get the error "ProgramUpdateThread Runtime Exception!" this is the cause of it.

from what i've read putting the above regstring in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\DVD Decrypter should've made it so that any accounts created would have this regstring.. guess i was wrong.

DVD Decrypter won't access the internet if its ran on another account since i've pretty much made it impossible to do so. so nothing has been sent if you ran it on another user.

so first install your exe with /S and then the NSIS without switches and then add this reg. i am ready then?

The NSIS is only for people that want to add their own custom settings.. its more for the advanced people.

the installer exe doesn't need any other files, just make sure to put the /S command to make it silent.

The Reg File is incase you run dvd decrypter on another user.. since the regstring for the autoupdate is enabled by default the program gets an error message of "ProgramUpdateThread Runtime Exception!".

so simple answer... if you're only using 1 user.. just install with the /S parameter so it'll be silent...

if you plan on making another user later on, you will need that regfile to allow the other user to use the program without getting the "ProgramUpdateThread Runtime Exception!" message.

hope this clears that up.

i have take a look at the NSIS with notepad, i dont believe i need it. so i leave it on the exe and reg (not sure if i need the reg, but i dont want run into problems and then searched for this topic to find the solution).

thanks anyways

DVDfab decrypter can now be used to decrypt movies to your harddisk. DVDdecrypter is no longer being developed... a few movies like Madagascar and others you will need DVDfab decrypter for.

It cannot create images or burn... but it has the main feature and thats why it is considered to be the new dvddecrypter.

[RogueSpear]

Actually any movie coming out of Sony these days requires DVDFab Decryptor. I hate to say it, but even though DVD Decrypter is IMHO a far superior product, it's becoming less and less relevant by the day.

[Synapse]

hmm good point. seeing how DVDfab Decrypter can already be silently installed (/Silent) guess there would be no point in me making a silent installer for it lol.

still going to use DVD Decrypter, but when i start running into problems i'll switch to DVDfab
