When I want to install Diskeeper with the RunOnceEx method, I seem to do something wrong, I cannot get it installed...

I am using the following syntax:

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Diskeeper Pro 8.0.459.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\System\Diskeeper\Diskeeper_Pro_8.0.459.0.exe /s /v/qn REBOOT=Suppress" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\021 /VE /D "Diskeeper Pro 8.0.478.0 Update" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\System\Diskeeper\Diskeeper_Pro_8.0.478.0_Update.exe /s /v/qn REBOOT=Suppress" /f

After RunOnceEx.cmd has done it's work, and rebooted, I see no sign of Diskeeper, neither the old version or the updated version. Does anyone know why this app won't install?

hi,

if i am correct you are not using the right switch combo, it is a .msi wrapped ia an exe so you need to give switches down to the .msi with:

CODE

/v"/qn REBOOT=Suppress"

So I should use this code?

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Diskeeper Pro 8.0.459.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\System\Diskeeper\Diskeeper_Pro_8.0.459.0.exe /s /v"/qn REBOOT=Suppress" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\021 /VE /D "Diskeeper Pro 8.0.478.0 Update" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\System\Diskeeper\Diskeeper_Pro_8.0.478.0_Update.exe /s /v"/qn REBOOT=Suppress" /f

And if you really want to get crazy, you can actually integrate the 478 patch into the source MSI so you don't have to run it separately.

That would be totally crazy and real neat! Please tell me how, is there a howto?

I think read about it here. Do a seach of the forums and see what turns up.

if the patch is truly just a MSP file inside the exe, then the procedure is almost identical to OfficeXP/2003. Just without the AdminPoint. I think so anyways (about the adminpoint).

That sounds right. It was so long ago (last fall) I've honestly forgotten how I did it.

I've tried to search how to do this, but I don't really know what to look for, or how to do it.. Can you help me out?

Just download the latest version from their site and extract the msi file during installation.

Doh! I should have thought of that! Thanks a lot ZoSTeR!!

I downloaded the file mentioned above, copyed the extraced *.exe file, and installed it using the

CODE

/s /v/qn

switch

Where's the registration info for that download? It seems like it's the full version yet it's free?
