benners Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi benners, I have never used it, can you give me a hint where\what and how to ?What program do I use ?Sure, no problem.Like most installers the Installshield ones can be run with various switches, there is a list of switches here. To run the PowerDVD installer you can use setup.exe -s -f2C:\powerdvd.log providing the iss file is in the same dir as the setup.exe, you have to specify the location of the log file if the installer is running from a CD\DVD as it is written to the same directory as the installer, so it will fail as it cannot be created on the CD\DVD.If you don't want to use the iss method you can also try editing the custom.ini file in the main dir and add the Silent=1[PowerDVD Ultra]DX9=1Silent=1this will run the installer and only show a cancel dialog for a few seconds as the files extract, to stop the readme file opening delete the readme folder in the version of PowerDVD that gets installed on your machine, mine is PDVDBD, I have tried this and it works for me.

Tasslehoff Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) The serial should be in the powerdvd.sim file as you can install without a serial/separate reg file however future patches might stuff up if no serial is found in the registry. If so I add the CDKey reg file after installation from the comments section in the winrar self extract just in case. So if you've got both the the CORRECT registered sims in the PDVDBD and PDVDHD folders you should be right, or try copying them again to the installation directory after installation in the comments section in winrar.My winrar comments section:Setup=Setup.exeSetup=REGEDIT /s pdvd7.regTempModeSilent=1Overwrite=1Title=Cyberlink PowerDVD Deluxe 7.2.2414.0pdvd7.regWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CyberLink\PowerDVD]"CDKey"="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx""UI_RMK"="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx""UI_PMK"="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"Also if no-ones noticed yet you can add a custom install path and start menu path in the custom.ini file in the main setup directory eg:DX9=1Silent=1InstallPath=C:\program files\Multimedia\PowerDVDFolderName=Multimedia\Cyberlink PowerDVDnoRunReg=1GoogleToolbar=0Unfortunately this forces the install location to c: so it's not really universal like %systemdrive% etc. If anyone's got any tips to make it so that'd be great.

--=ddSHADOW=-- Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) there is another way to get PowerDVD HD version installed by editing Setup.inx here you go MANUAL WAYIf you want to install the HD-DVD setup by default, modify the "setup.inx" file in the top directory.For the PowerDVD Ultra 7.2 Multilingual, this file is 188KB dated 12/18/2006.At hex offset 0000A47A. change the byte "42" to "48".Setup.rar Edited March 4, 2007 by --=ddSHADOW=-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp00f Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 nice guide muiz,but pdvd 7.3 also removes al shortcuts from menu start, bug? or im doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasslehoff Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) but pdvd 7.3 also removes al shortcuts from menu start, bug? or im doing something wrong.Customizing the InstallPath and Foldername location doesn't work in 7.3 if you were using my 7.2 custom.ini config and they'll only break the non-folder shortcuts which is a nuisance. Otherwise you're doing something wrong.Also adding this line to the pdvd7.reg file stops the registration dialog box ever popping up, well it hasn't yet.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CyberLink\Common\EvoParser\PowerDVD\7.00]"AutoCheckPeriod"=hex:ff,00,00,00 Edited June 26, 2007 by Tasslehoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
