UTorrent Silent Install

[evilonex]

Does anyone knows if theres a silent install switch for utorrent 1.6? any help will be appreciated.

uTorrent is portable, just copy .dat files from Application Data/uTorrent over to uTorrent main directory.

So what could be an idea to actually make a "silent package" because i dont want to just simply make a package for my use i mean like making a package that can be used by anyone in any pc.

You just need to copy settings.dat it doesnt contain any personal data. Important: nothing more files!

md "%appdata%\utorrent"
copy settings.dat "%appdata%\utorrent" /Y

After copying you have to register .torrent extansion:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.torrent]
@="uTorrent"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.torrent]
@="uTorrent"
"Content Type"="application/x-bittorrent"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\windows\\utorrent.exe\" \"%1\""

I am using this way, and working perfectly.

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /VE /D "uTorrent 1.6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 101 /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\Install\uTorrent\uTorrent-1.6-install.exe /S" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 102 /D "cmd /c XCOPY \"%SystemDrive%\Install\uTorrent\uTorrent\" \"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\uTorrent\" /I /E /H /Y" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 103 /D "REGEDIT /S \"%SystemDrive%\Install\uTorrent\uTorrent1.reg\" /f

isn't this a Nullsoft NSIS installer?

silent switch is :

/S (all switches must be upper case)

[enuffsaid]

Hmm... strange...

I use uTorrent (pronounced: Micro Torrent) and the Executable I download from the website is ready for use. No installation needed.

µTorrent site has 2 types of downloads:

- standalone (170 kB)

- installation program (597 kB)

I know that it needs only 170K and all customizable files are kept in %AppData%\uTorrent, but why should i do all that scripting instead of using only a single "/S" switch.

These guys allready did this copy thing for us (nullsoft installer). Use it wise!

download uTorrent-1.6-install.exe

uTorrent-1.6-install.exe /S

done

[Ralin]

but that wont configure it for you, now will it?

[bledd]

%username%\application data\utorrent

search for regkey that assigns .torrent files to it

i just keep a pc for just downloading, so i never format it myself

In my configuration, I have a partition called PROGRAMS, and have a folder called Standalone. µTorrent.exe is in PROGRAMS\Standalone\µTorrent. That's it and is OS independant.
