Third-Party Applications Registrations

[darktemplar31]

I was wondering if there was a way to import many third-party applications's registration information automatically from the unattended windows installation.

What do you exactly mean by registration information?

Im guessing your mean serials etc for programs.

There's no generic solution for all apps.

If the application stores the registration info in the registry, like Nero, then the *.REG file is the way to go.

Sometimes you can specify the registration key as a switch (e.g. MSI can accept /PIDKEY="key_digits_here", if the installer had been configured accordingly).

Some applications may look for a certain file in a certain directory. Then you have to place the file where it needs to be (xcopy, OEM folders, etc)
