i heard from some peoples, there are a way to make silent and switchless installer with Winrar Sfx and i tried to made some with it. and i have success with the archive but it didn't install in silent mode and maybe need switch to put in it

so for people know the "real" way to make and switchless and silent Sfx module please tell me the correct steps for make it

thx all

just messing up things and i found way to work

tested with XnView and Sfx module create with Winrar 3.51

1.use PeID to search the switch http://www.peid.tk

2.add the file (XnView-win-en.exe) into winrar (Right Click -> Add to Archive)

3.select option "Create Sfx archive"

4.select "Best" from "Compression Method"

5.click the advanced tab and select SFX options

6.on general tab take a look "Run After Extraction" and write it "XnView-win-en.exe /VERYSILENT" w/o qoutes

7.on modes tab, Silent mode select to "Hide all" and for Overwrite mode select to "Overwrite all files"

8.(optional)on Text and Icon tab you can use installer icon

9.click OK twice and wait till it finish

10.you got it

the question is can i use this with HFSLIP or nLite?

I use winrar to make things switchless

just add the switch in your sfx

example :

;Het onderstaande commentaar bevat SFX-scriptopdrachten

Setup=quicktimealt168.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

You can even give it your own icon if you want..

Works on most apps

wow so that is the right script

thanks buddy

muiz,

Simple question, as presetup runs the command before extraction, where is the registry file to run it?

Edit:

Rephased question.

Put it in the same folfder as where your setup files are in.

Example :

Or like shark007 does :

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

path=%programfiles%
Setup=regedit /s "%programfiles%\Windows Live Safety Center\wlss.reg"
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

No need for this mess. It should work the way I mentioned.

Setup=quicktimealt168.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-

Setup=REGEDIT /S MyReg.reg

TempMode

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

I have created SFX of Yahoo Messenger 7.0 with the methods specified and now works fine

but with wmplayer10 doesn't work. It get installed but when the windows xp is installed and when you open Windows Media Player it asks for the introductory Next Next... and After Finish the attached error is generated and doesn't work.
