Does anyone know the silent install for the ACE Mega CodecS Pack 6.03 Pro Edition?

doesn’t (yet) ! the previous method with .iss file don’t work .
I look for that too !
anyone do that ?

it uses inno setup...run it for the first time using /saveinf...then copy the inf to the same directory and use /loadinf (make sure to use silent inno setup swicthes too).

Notes: Do not run the antivirus thing because it requires you to press a key to continue...

Where is the inf file saved? I can't find it. I tried with the following:

ACE_Mega_CodecS_Pack_6.03_Professional_Edition.exe /saveinf=Setup.inf'
ACE_Mega_CodecS_Pack_6.03_Professional_Edition.exe /saveinf=C:\Setup.inf'

But it dosen't give med the inf file. Can you help, or post your inf file?

here.

work for me , give the inf file , after a custom install .
i choose
     <<professional install>> (all components selected)
     w/o BSPlayer (usually i install separatelly BSPlayer Pro)
     without Media Player Classic (i do not like it)
after that i run
was a very silent install .
but , not a similarity between my previous custom installation and the one after the silent install+.inf
the original install had ~28 submenu lines , the "silent" install can make only 5..6 submenu lines .
     so , you there , who know the right way , can be so hard to share ?
i expect to see after that at least three post who say something about "search button" .
nothing there , just things you can read above .

Thx ... it worked for me too!

very nice and very silent install.
but i dont know if this method install exactly my custom choices .
there are very few links there in <<All Programs\ACE Mega CoDecS Pack\>> menu .
when , first, i create the .inf file , exist a lot more links there ?

i clicked everything...dashboard professional (i believe is whats its called) the only thing I did not install was the antivirus and anything else that created a popup during install...(since it wouldnt be unattended if you had to click something) I also didnt install any of the media players...bsplayer or mpc...since i use wmp10...no need for them. I think thats the only things i didnt select...but honestly if you follow the steps for saving the inf, youll have your own settings...and maybe i didnt click some things, but there hasnt been anything that wmp10 couldnt play.

awesome, i was looking for a way to silently install this, if i couldnt find anything i was going to use a "send keys" script to close the AV now i dont have toe yay!

its not working for me it saves the INF file but it still pops up that stupid AV scanner, which i specifically disabled! these are the strings that i am using in my batch file and attached is my INF file if anyone wanted to have a look at it.

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Apps\ace\ace6.03.exe LOADINF="%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\ace\settings.inf" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

This is the script (in exe file) for kill the stupid AV popup.

The .bat file is called "acemcp603pro.bat"

And the content is:



The .exe file is called "acemcp603pro.exe" (Codecs)

My ini file is attached. Is installation Pro and only delete BSPlayer.

All files in the same folder and execute the acemcp603pro_s.exe file.

1. Ace doesnt contain any spyware/adware that i know of
2. a silent install is an installation where either a. no user input is required and/or b. the installation is hidden from sight.
3. i dont really know a good place to download a copy of it, search google

How do I use the .inf file that you guys are providing.

read above, its stated many times...

1. Download my attachment  ACEM_Codec_Pack_6.03_Profesional.inf ( 362bytes ) Number of downloads: 245


2. Put thoose lines

REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\065 /VE /D "ACEM Codec Pack 6.03 Profesional" /f
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\065 /V 1 /D "\"c:\ACEM Codec Pack 6.03 Profesional.exe\" /LOADINF=\"c:\ACEM Codec Pack 6.03 Profesional.inf\" /nocancel /silent /S" /f

in to your RunOnceEx.cmd.
You can change *.exe and *.inf file location and name

3. and now it will install all codecs, filters and so on... (~135 MB ) and there will no be stupid AV scanner

P.S. sorry for my poor english

Hi Guys,

I had trouble getting rid of that Anti-Virus scan myself... after uninstlling and re-installing time and time again trying something else... I tried the above method and found it worked if you follow it EXACTLY...

Just create a ini.inf file using the above method and pay attention that you are saving it to "C:", just make sure when you load your ini.inf file that you do infact specify the right path... which in this case is /LOADINF="c:\AceMegaCP_603_ini.inf".

I am using WPI to make list of all my software I want to install unattended. Thus I used WinRAR to make a self extracting package (.exe) of the "AceMegaCP_603_ini.inf" and played around with the settings (inside winrar) and set the path to extract to "C:" and also set it to run silently and overide any files.

In WPI I added the self extaction package which I just created and put it in "Command 1" inside the config after putting in a name and description.
I then put the installation file "ACEMCP603PRO.exe" in "Command 2"

Here is my commands I put in Command 1 & Command 2






Just installed it to another installation as well... It worked like a charm

I also add my ini.inf file & the compressed version from winrar if you want to use it... it incluses all codecs and apps and addons everyting exept the anti-virus

Enjoy

I first used

c:\Ace Mega Codecs Pack\ACEMCP601PRO.exe" /SAVEINF="settings.inf

to save the settings (The settings.inf file was saved in my Windows directory).

Then I coppied the C:\Windows\settings.inf file to Ace Codecs Pack folder and ran

c:\Ace Mega Codecs Pack\ACEMCP601PRO.exe" /VERYSILENT /SP /LOADINF=settings.inf

It worked but the antivirus started and I don't know why.

OK, finaly I used

%systemdrive%\software\Media\Ace Mega Codecs Pack\AceCodecsPack.exe /LOADINF="%systemdrive%\software\Media\Ace Mega Codecs Pack\settings.inf" /nocancel /silent /S" /f /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

and it worked, no AV. But I cannot get rid of the Browser plugin install.
