blinkdt Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Wow, lots of threads about Foxit, but only one describing the AutoIt method of install? That's just wrong Here's how I'm doing it to accomplish a silent install, with balloon tip indicator, that places a shortcut to the program in the Accessories directory, registers the program as the default PDF reader, and opens the program on first run with no advertising:1. Get the zipped version directly from Foxit and put the executable in a directory of your choosing.2. Put this registry file in the same directory, I called mine "adverts.reg:"Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\MainFrame]"AdvertiseIndex"="6""ShowEditorAd_908"="0""ShowReaderAd_908"="0""ShowTypewriterAd_908"="0""ShowPOAd_908"="0""ShowSDKAd_908"="0"3. Run this AutoIt script from the same directory:TrayTip('Unattended Installation', 'Installing Foxit PDF Reader . . . please wait . . .', 0, 1)FileCopy( @ScriptDir & "\FoxitReader.exe", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\", 9)FileCreateShortcut( @ProgramFilesDir & "\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader.exe", _ @ProgramsCommonDir & "\Accessories\Foxit PDF Reader.lnk")RunWait( @ProgramFilesDir & "\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader.exe -register")RunWait( @Comspec & ' /C regedit /S ' & @ScriptDir & '\adverts.reg', '', @SW_HIDE )TrayTip("clear tip","",0)Done! As Darth Vader would say, "all too easy." Edited for typos Edited January 13, 2007 by blinkdt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
