ashleysmith55 Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I'm attempting to create an unattended install of PaperPort 11. All seems to go well till the installer launches setup.msi. I get the error message "Serial number is invalid" even though it's corect.Install.cmd looks like this:@Echo OffECHO Installing Scansoft PaperPort 11ECHO Please wait...REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\PaperPort11\PaperPort.regstart /wait %systemdrive%\PaperPort11\ISScript10.Msi /qb! ALLUSERS=1start /wait %systemdrive%\PaperPort11\Setup.msi /qb! ALLUSERS=1ExitThe PaperPort.reg file looks like this:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ScanSoft\PaperPort\License]"UserName"="****""UserOrganization"="****""Serial#"="*****-***-****-****-**"Anbody have any ideas?ThanksAshley
ajua Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 i see that you are importing the registration info before you launch the setup routine. try importing it but after the setup has finished installing paperport to see if it works now.also you can try to use a MST file to install it. Search for Wise InstallTailor its free. you launch a msi setup routine, answer all the questions and then save this answer to a MSF file. then you launch the msi using this: setup.msi TRANSFORMS=mstfile.mst /qb /norestart.hope this helps.
ashleysmith55 Posted October 23, 2006 Author Posted October 23, 2006 It doesn't matter if I import the registration entry before the install or after.Also, on the PaperPort11 CD is a tool called MkMst.exe. This will supposedly make the transform file for you. However even this says invalid serial number. What's going on?Also, the little app you mentioned - InstallTailor - is no longer available. See http://www.appdeploy.com/tools/detail.asp?id=293Anyone have any other ideas? I've even tried using AutoIt, but the script is unrealiable (it works on some PCs but not others) and it will not run from the network drive for some reason.Surely it's possible to script PaperPort 11?Does it matter that I'm using the standard version rather than pro version?
