Command line Usage
simply put =1 to the components u want to install
so if I want to install Winamp agent I'd add
Winamp.msi Xagent=1

so if I want to install all Audio Components I'd add
Winamp.msi Xaudio=1
and that would add all the audio components so that u don't have to write all the sub-components of audio.

u can use multiple switches at the same time
so winamp.msi Xagent=1 Xaudio=1 Xvideo=1
and so on...

if u fully want to install Winamp use Xfull=1 option.
if u are registered with Winamp and have a serial key and a username do as follows to automatically register your copy of winamp

winamp.msi Xname=your user name Xkey=your key in XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX format
Do NOT forget to put "" around your user name if u have space in between..!!

if u don't want a certain component to not install, just leave it off the command line. Everything defaults to NOT INSTALLED unless specified with =1

U can see a list of it on the installer as well (if u don't want to use silent switches)


Fixed Problems

• Msi is now able to add your registration key
• Type registration has been fixed, now the types are selected
  

[b]Known Issues:

• When u uninstall Winamp the associations will not revert back to original program.(I could revert them back to media player, but I don't
  know if anyone uses Windows Media Player...)
• No other known issues

sorry I still couldn't figure out how to use ini's so that u don't have to write everything in the commandline so

expect the new stuff from Alanoll.

okay for ppl who really don't want to use the msi u can always write a simple vbs or js to click on the preferences in original winamp.exe

I guess this means we have to bow down to you now??
I will be the first..



Thanks a lot XtremeMaC and Alanoll!!!!!..

thanks man, ill give it a whirl !!!

@ XMac

It's a boneyard


bonedaddy

This rocks!



Chris.

Thank You!!
it works great
but when i start winamp at the 1st time the register screen appear...possible to remove this ?

the register screen is a change from winamp 5.03 - 5.03a, which i think is good, it reminds you that you need to register, i usually forget this until i try and use one of the pro features, also fixes 1 or 2 bugs !

killed my bios chip so, cant install my unattended cd or test this out, trying to get someone to reprogram it !

woot.

i think you didn't get many hits as some peopel might not have been awake or were going to not be awake


yeah commandline support

as a side note, Mac, you may want to add an INI file

C:\Windows\winamp.ini

[WinampReg]
NeedReg=0

just those two lines. That will prevent the "registration" page comming up upon first run. Thought you should know. Doesn't work with a normal Winamp install from Nullsoft as it overwrites that file.

and your Winamp folder you're creating in the Startmenu has a lowercase 'w'

//

i didn't see ANY ini's in the file i downloaded. lol.

and the lines for the one I gave you, are from the winamp.ini from the Windows directory not in the WinAMP directory.

//

oh i see what ya did. You just copied the Winamp.ini file from the Winamp directory into the distro.

I was looking in the INI File Changes section. lol

//

//

Uh, is there like a switch to install ALL features on Winamp?

//

Use the main Winamp official installer? Does not it popup itself after install?

yes the official Winamp Installer pops up a Registration box at the end of setup.

Thanks

Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your work.

Thanks

Show my thanks to XtremeMaC
I modify both the winamp.ini located in the subfolder of windir and winamp to achieve the complete silent install and settings. the method is as follows:

make selfextracted files of these two winamp.ini with target folders windir and winamp respectively. There would generate two .exe files for exam. winamp1.exe and winamp2 Then add two lines to the unatteded inatll batch file . it look like as

ECHO Installing winamp 5.0.3a
start /wait winamp.msi Xfull=1 /qb
start /wait winamp1.exe /s
start /wait winamp2.exe /s

you can modify the content of winamp.ini as you like. for exam the file extension association.

config_extlist=CDA:MID:MIDI:RMI:KAR:MIZ:mod:mdz:nst:stm:stz:s3m:s3z:it:itz:xm:xmz:mtm:ult:669:far:am
f:okt:ptm:MP3:MP2:MP1:AAC:M4A:MP4:NSA:OGG:WAV:VOC:AU:SND:AIF:AIFF:wma:m3u:pls

or avoid register popup by modifying winamp.ini located in windir as that had been posted here on this thread.

@asparagus
why do you create a INI file in the Winamp specifing the extensions?

the list gets populated upon first run of Winamp

I just don't see the point. Sure the registration one, but the one in the Winamp directory?

I mean when I install winamp manually and complete all the favorite configuration on preference tab of Winamp. I made an self-extracted file of winamp.ini file from the winamp subfolder and use it for silent install. Besides, I add the localization files of Traditional Chinesese into the archives . As a result, I can complete the localization simultaneously by silent install. Meanwhile, you can export your registraton information to a reg ext. and register winamp when silent install is executed.

start /wait regedit /S winampreg.reg

@ XMac and Alanoll

thanks guys the second ver works great


the first one would not install via RunOnceEX
from the CD

the second as I said is perfect
cousre could have been me
but I checked paths ect.

thanks again

bonedaddy

man I hated that video.........

//

i dont have any problem installing via runonceex
iam using this in my .inf

HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install25",,,"Winamp 5.03a"
HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install25",1,,"MSIEXEC.EXE /QB /I %1%\Applications\Winamp5\WinAmp.msi xagent=1 xlibrary=1 xintex=1 xaudio=1 xnsv=1 xregopt=1"

some reason it isn't working for me....any ideas why I'm screwed up!?

I don't get the MODERN Skin. Not all AUDIO is selected.

Plus I get the AOL desktop ICON. So I had to add that to my script.

Missing the WinAMP Equalizer Presets. The file is C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.q1 I've done a self extracting archive - I like it better than copy. See below.

If you want the PRO features - look for the following reg keys - to import:


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ummm...

the AOL Desktop Icon is NO WHERE in the MSI. So it's getting installed elsewhere.

trying installing it like
[CODE]
start /wait msiexec.exe /i %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WinAMP\WinAMP.msi xagent=1 xintex=1 xmodernskin=1 xaudio=1 xextra=1 xregopt=1 /qb

I stand corrected - the AOL icon is there already!!!! From some other program.

I'll try the other line now....

nope- still Classic skin. not all Audio extensions. No keyboard shortcuts.
No Agent.

It's like it isn't taking half the options!? Is there are specific order? Or is it case sensative? NOPE- capital X didn't make a difference.

BTW - THANKS FOR DOING THIS - I HOPE TO GET IT WORKING.

//

What are the differences in that version of winamp?

I'm using the one from the first post in this thread....

don't try doing it silent just yet.....

remove the /qb and try again, when you get to the screen saying Typical/Custom, select custom.

see what's selected there.



@trev:
if you're asking what's the difference between this one and the official, this one is just an MSI installer and not Nullsoft. if you're asking the difference between teh version versions of this MSI, just minor bug corrections in the MSI, such as adding the registraion INI file.

Thanx XtremeMaC!!!!!!!!! Really nice!!!!!!!!!!

Does someone knows how to backup winamp's settings? Copying the winamp.ini and studio.xnf doesnt seems to work...

Anyone knows?? thank you very much!

i think those are the only files where settings are saved. They're not saved in the registry.


CLASSIC SKIN ALL THE WAY! I have a finite number of resources, and I just can't afford to give Winamp 23 megs of my 1.5 gigs of ram.

Ok I figured out where the configs...

Their is winamp.ini, studio.xnf and for the media librairy (what I was looking for) in the file %programfiles%\winamp\plugins\gen_ml.ini

I've made a sfx with all those to backup my settings...

//

great work xtreme

it shows what I've added with the switches - just the way I want it....but it doesn't seem to install them.

maybe its just me and what I expect....

where are you checking for it to be installe?


EDIT:
i just used the same line to test hte install that i gave you...

Agent installed, but it's not turned on by default, you have to do it in the preferences.

I don't see any Audio types missing from teh File Types list. Maybe you had another plugin to add to them before?

Again the Hotkeys are installed, just not enabled. You have to enable them.

Modern Skin you have to switch to, doesn't start in Modern.

let me say this - it isn't installing things I didn't want.

but when you go into the extension section (post-install) not all AUDIO extensions are highlighted.

same for keyboard shortcuts.


Within the CUSTOM installer - I select at the high-level for each section. I select AUDIO FILE SUPPORT.

It installs WinAMP Agent - but it doesn't enable it.

I think I've solved it by just configuring it after installation and then when I reinstall it with unattended - just have it copy the INI over.

the three extensions i see that aren't highlighted, are the ones that are playlists

is this a comment for me?

yes
I was refering to that.



I just restarted, and it was enabled. Maybe it jsut takes a restart.

agent gets enabled on reboot it looks like.

As for Audio Extensions - none of the weird/obscure file types are highlighted. Here is the difference when I select the AUDIO ONLY file types.

BEFORE


AFTER


fixed the formatting - sorry

that's wierd, when i start and close Winamp for the first time withou ever going into prefernces I get all of those, except...

m3u, pls, and stz

maybe quicktime or media player or something else is claiming them?!
