Mirc Silent Install How?

[hevnbnd]

I read a post in the sitches thread by aaron but it did not make a lot of since. How would i go about installing this app silently in my batch file? Thanks Brian

I personally never managed. I used AI Snapshot and it works like that. If you want, I can send u the .exe...

Did some research on AI Snapshot. Sounds like the program i may need. Yes if you could send me the exe for mirc that would be great.

First clean install where ever you want.Don't execute!.Use WinRAR pack all files and directories in "Mirc" directory(this is important)

Add following comment to archive;

silent=2

path=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\MIRC\

Shortcut=D, "Mirc32.exe", "%SYSTEMDIRVE%\MIRC\", "Mirc", ""

Move another place.Make Sfx archive.Mirc32.exe already included uninstall support.

Smaller,faster better than normal install

I think the best way would be to unpack mirc to a folder in $OEM$/$1/install/mirc say then just XCOPY it over in a batch file.

Neither way will add the shortcuts to the desktop or program group will they?

scankurban suggestion will make a shorrtcut, I don't see the need for a program group for such a simple program

CLS
@ECHO OFF
cmdow @ /hid
XCOPY %systemdrive%\install\system\mIRC %systemdrive%\Progra~1\mIRC\ /S /C /Q /H /Y

MKDIR "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\mIRC"

COPY "%systemdrive%\install\system\mIRC\mIRC.lnk" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\mIRC\"

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\system\mIRC\register.reg
EXIT

Thats my mirc.cmd. Make sure you have the link in the folder (install the proggie first, then just copy the link from your startmenu), and I use a register.reg to register mirc 6.1. Also, edit the paths above to your setup. I currently have my installs under "$OEM$\$1\install\system\".

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC\License]
@="KEY"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC\UserName]
@="USERNAME"

Hopefully this helps.
