TheRaven Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I can silently install this app with the /s switch, however when install finishes a pop-up comes op (XVID codec has been installed on your system).I have to click 'OK' for the batch-file to continue.Is there a way to kill this pop-up, since PSkill doesn't do the job for me...TheRaven
Aaron Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 Give me a download link for the xvid codec you use and I'll try it.
TheRaven Posted August 8, 2003 Author Posted August 8, 2003 Cool!I use Nic's Binary...This is the link: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.htmlThx a lot...I'm also looking for an answer at an NSIS discussion forum at this very moment!EDIT:Funny thing is when I install XVID using my batch-file, with the PSkill command right after the xvid install...it doesn't kill the pop-up...since pskill couldn't find the process.When I use the pskill command in another batch-file (just for testing purposes)...it does find the xvid-process and kills the pop-up. Weird...Maybe I should try running another batch-file from my main batch-file in order to kill the process. Gonna try that tonight.
ada Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Sorry, Is this decoder can decoder much of those mpeg4 stream type like ffdshow ?! I used ffdshow before because it can decode xvid / divx dvd types !
TheRaven Posted August 10, 2003 Author Posted August 10, 2003 XviD is another MPEG-4 codec, just like DivX...however it uses another form of coding/decoding.You need this codec in order view XviD-encoded content....TheRaven
ada Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Thanks for your reply...But... I used ffdshow ( visit at ffdshow project ) because I just use one plugin software but support much type mpeg4 stream format , even if divx and xvid.It makes me not need to install 2 or more codec for playing those mpeg4 files.The problem is ffdshow seems not support silent installation in windows 2000/XP, so I should like to find another codec to support Media Player Classic for playing MPEG4 files.
TheRaven Posted August 11, 2003 Author Posted August 11, 2003 Right now I put the XviD silent install at the end of my batch-file.First the pcshutdown code and then teh xvid code...this way I can run my batch file all the way to the end and still restart without a problem, the pop-up doesn't interfere with restart.I have ac3filter, divx and xvid installed that way....just need to put in the lame mp3 codec...TheRaven
HexiumVII Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 I recommend you download the freeware K-Lite Codec pack. It comes with a plenthora of codecs all in one easy to use package. Includes:Divx, Xvid,WMV,3viX and they even have alternatives to Quicktime and Real. Klite
BAMacek Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Thanks for the advice HexiumVII. It was able to play things I couldn't play before.Is there any way to add the K-Lite Codec Pack (v2.10) to the unattended install?
Rahbas Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 I added this to my unattended install by doing it like this.start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\media\Codecs\klcodec210f.exe /SP /VERYSILENTThere are some advanced things you can do with this installer. You can do this with the Real and Quick Alternative programs too. Here's the info form the Inno Setup documentation./SP- Disables the This will install... Do you wish to continue? prompt at the beginning of Setup. Of course, this will have no effect if the DisableStartupPrompt [setup] section directive was set to yes. /SILENT, /VERYSILENT Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt is (if you haven't disabled it with DisableStartupPrompt or the '/SP-' command line option explained above) If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking. /NOCANCEL Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with /SILENT. /NORESTART When combined with /SILENT or /VERYSILENT, instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary. /LOADINF="filename" Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after having checked the command line. This file can be prepared using the '/SAVEINF=' command as explained below. Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces. /SAVEINF="filename" Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file. Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces. /LANG=language Specifies the language to use. language specifies the internal name of the language as specified in a [Languages] section entry. When a valid /LANG parameter is used, the Select Language dialog will be suppressed. /DIR="x:\dirname" Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Directory wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified. If the [setup] section directive DisableDirPage was set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored. /GROUP="folder name" Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. If the [setup] section directive DisableProgramGroupPage was set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored. /NOICONS Instructs Setup to initially check the Don't create any icons check box on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. /COMPONENTS="comma separated list of component names" Overrides the default components settings. Using this command line parameter causes Setup to automatically select a custom type. I used this info and my modified unattend file because I wanted to save the settings so some of the codecs didn't get installed. Here's my example.start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\media\Codecs\klcodec210f.exe /LOADINF=%systemdrive%\install\applications\MEDIA\codecs\codecs.inf /SP /VERYSILENTI hope this helps. It's a very nice way of customizing the setup for programs setup with the Inno installer.
ahmedramzi Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Another simpler method that I've grabbed it before from the forums:put these lines in your main_batch.cmd:ECHO.ECHO Installing CodecsECHO Please wait...start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KLiteCodec\setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /COMPONENTS=& #34;bsplayer,divx,divxdec,xvid,xviddec,3ivx,wmv,dvd,mpeg2ligos,indeo,indeo4,indeo32,i263,mp3audio,wmaaudio,ac3audio,oggvorbis,musepack,vsfilter,oggvorbissplitter,matroska,fourcc,gspot,disg400,disffdshow"remember to put your software in the path as the syntax says (in bold)..
Numinous Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 search your windows\system32 folder for xvid.axplace it in $oem$\$$\System32 folderadd this line to a batchregsvr32.exe %systemroot%\system32\xvid.ax /sjob done
BAMacek Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 This is sorta late, but I just wanted to thank Rahbas for dropping the 411 on how to include the KaZaA Lite codec pack in the silent install. THANKS MAN!
Alphaz Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Thanks Rahbas,I used to do my installs with the GuardianKnot codec pack, but I couldn't find any silent switches... and this one looks really complete, I recommend it to everyone, check out the features:http://doa2.host.sk/codecs/klfeatures.htmAlex.
