[Help] WinRAR (customized settings) & Daemon Tools

[biatche]

1. WinRAR

I plan on using a corporate version of WinRAR, and i'd like custom settings like context menu, associations and such. How do I go abouts?

2. Daemon Tools

So I use shark's SPTD, and daemon-tools 4.08 /S ... but this installs the spyware... is there anyway not to install the spyware other than deleting it after installing it.

Please help, thanks

For WinRAR: Install a regfile before installing WinRAR like this one:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Settings for WinRAR Icons on Desktop, All Programs and Start Menu
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRaR\Setup\Links]
"Desktop"=dword:00000001
"Programs"=dword:00000001
"StartMenu"=dword:00000000

; Settings for WinRAR context menu
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRaR\Setup\MenuItems]
"AddArc"=dword:00000001
"Addto"=dword:00000001

for WinRAR you can add a reg file like the one Malarky posted and just run the WinRAR setup using the /S switch (silent), so you'll get no screen at all. I use this way.

You can install themes too. I'll post how if you want.

Yeb, WinRAR working for me now, yeah post away bout themes, might be interested

All I do is have a SFX installer copy the themes into the Program Files\WinRAR\Themes\ folder, with each theme in its own subfolder. WinRAR sees them when you run it.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I was wondering if you can silently install winrar to a custom directory?

HY, where can i edit the winrar config reg file? Maybe i can install Winrar, customize and then find the registry? But where?

[The008]

well guys sorry for the delay, but I'm kinda budy these days.

I managed to install my WinRAR with customized settings and a custom theme.

I did this:

1- Added a command to extract the theme to the default folder inside the WinRAR installation folder

2- Added some registry keys to make the theme as the default.

I used this .bat file:

reg add HKCU\Software\WinRAR\Interface\Themes /v ActivePath /d "%systemdrive%\Arquivos de programas\WinRAR\Themes\WinRAR_Jr_48x48" /f
reg add HKCU\Software\WinRAR\Interface\Themes /v ShellExtBMP /d "%systemdrive%\Arquivos de programas\WinRAR\Themes\WinRAR_Jr_48x48\RarSmall.bmp" /f
reg add HKCR\WinRAR\DefaultIcon /ve /d "%systemdrive%\Arquivos de programas\WinRAR\Themes\WinRAR_Jr_48x48\RAR.ico" /f
reg add HKCR\WinRAR.REV\DefaultIcon /ve /d "%systemdrive%\Arquivos de programas\WinRAR\Themes\WinRAR_Jr_48x48\REV.ico" /f
reg add HKCR\WinRAR.ZIP\DefaultIcon /ve /d "%systemdrive%\Arquivos de programas\WinRAR\Themes\WinRAR_Jr_48x48\RAR.ico" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinRAR archiver" /v DisplayIcon /d "%systemdrive%\Arquivos de programas\WinRAR\Themes\WinRAR_Jr_48x48\Setup.ico" /f

PS: "Arquivos de programas" is equal to "Program files", 'cause my Windows is in Portuguese (Brazil).

Bye

I use

start /wait regedit /s Settings.reg
start /wait WinRAR.exe /S
start /wait regedit /s Settings.reg

Settings.reg are my WinRAR settings file.

WinRAR.exe are WinRAR setup silent.
