Inputting serial after installation

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I want to slipstream Tuneup Utilties 2007 onto my Windows XP DVD. I more or less know how to use switches to create unattended installers that will input the serial during installation, but that won't be helpful for this program. The installer for TuneUp Utilities 2007 is a demo and the serial is entered after installation if you want to activate it. When you run TuneUp Utilities, the first screen is a splash screen asking if you want to check for updates and the second screen is a 'Trial version reminder' splash screen that asks me if I want to order the product, input a serial or continue with the trial. I would want to input the serial.

Ultimately, what I want is for the installer to run, the program to start, my serial be entered automatically and the program to close again - all completely in the background, with no screens at all. How can this be done?

The installation uses Windows Installer.

If it's any help, during the installation process the user has the option to check a box to start the program once the installer is finished (the check box is blank by default).

I run the installer with this switch; TU2007TrialEN.exe /qb-!

then import the serial keys from these 2 registry keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TuneUp\Utilities\6.0]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TuneUp\Utilities\6.0]

both those keys contain the serial key, once imported the app is full

Okay, thanks for your help but it's a bit confusing.

First of all

I run the installer with this switch; TU2007TrialEN.exe /qb-!

then import the serial keys from these 2 registry keys

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TuneUp\Utilities\6.0]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TuneUp\Utilities\6.0]

both those keys contain the serial key, once imported the app is full

I assume you meant install the program on my existing Windows and use regedit to export those reg keys. However, [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TuneUp\Utilities\6.0] does not exist.

Secondly, how can I call a reg file during the installation process? Is there a switch for that?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TuneUp\Utilities\6.0]
"Company"="*****"
"UserName"="*****"
"RegCode"="*****-*****-*****-*****-*****-*****"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TuneUp\Utilities\6.0]
"Company"="*****"
"UserName"="*****"
"RegCode"="*****-*****-*****-*****-*****-*****"

Open new text file, fill in your details, then save as TU2007.reg

Now call the TU2007.reg like this

REG ADD %KEY%05 /V 6 /D "REGEDIT /S %PATH TO FILE%\TU2007.reg" /f
