AIM 5.5.3598 + Aimutation Silently

[Synapse]

ok, if any of you are like me you pretty much live on AIM lol. well here i present to you, AIM 5.5.3598 + Aimutation (Modification for AIM to allow hiding of the Advertisements, Logging of IM's *including IM's, Chat, Images, Files, Sounds*, Customizing the colors of the AIM window, or downloaded skins) and Custom registry Settings...

This Installer Does the Following:

1. Installs AIM + Aimutation to %Program Files%\AIM

2. Copies the file msvcp71.dll to the system directory (needed for Aimutation)

3. Puts shortcuts on the Start Menu + AOL Instant Messenger Shortcut on the Desktop

4. Adds AIM to Run in the registry (to auto run aim when windows starts)

5. Merges Registry Information from the file Settings.reg in the directory where AIMInstall.exe is, Silently.

6. Makes the Uninstaller.

The Settings.reg file can be made by going to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online and exporting that. save it as settings.reg and place it in the same folder as AIMInstall.exe. there is a settings.reg file included that has my settings (minus my Username & Password).. My Settings puts the main window in the upper right corner at resolution 1024 x 768. turns off the aim today window (if you're running lower then like 5.9 it only shows the upgrade to aim 5.9 window by default), auto accepts direct IM's from people on my friend list, tells aim i'm in the US and much more.. read it in notepad to see all the settings.

I thought about making a settings.reg file maker in autoit.. but with all the complications of the country, hex values for the window locations.. etc.. i decided against it.

*For Advanced Only, This is the script used to make the Installer.. only needed if you wish to change something*

Download AIMInstall.nsi: http://rapidshare.de/files/8290641/AIM.nsi.html

Silent Install:

AIMInstall.exe /S

AIMInstall.exe and Settings.reg must be in the same folder for the settings.reg file to be merged into the registry.

Cheers, Haven't had any problems with it. If you find any bugs please report them in this thread

*EDIT*

TO USE MY SETTINGS.REG FILE! open the settings.reg file in notepad, and hit edit -> replace.. in the Find What box type: msfnpwns in the Replace with box type: yourscreenname then hit replace all. you can change the password1 part to have your encrypted password in the registry so its saved in there.. you can find this in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger \CurrentVersion\Users\youscreenname\Login after you've installed and had AIM save your password. then just save the file.. don't need to manually merge the regfile, as the installer will do this for you.

*EDIT*

took down the last version and uploaded a new one.. this one looks for the logs folder at Logs\ insted of the hardcoded C:\Program Files\AIM\Logs... this is to prevent problems from people that have their program files on another hard drive like D:\Program files.
