Are you sure the key is good?
Do you know exctly what kind of instalation program it uses
(eg. MSI,NSIS)?


Hope it helps.

YEs the key is good i managed to change the msi package to get it to install and run but when i uninstall it it takes it out of the add remove programs after asking for the cd for that feature, but it does not remove the program from the hard drive. I can still click the icon on the desktop to remove it. I attached the original msi and i will attach the edited msi file

I've been attempting all possible tricks with this **** MSI. Well! I've got two solutions, though. Try it and let me know wether it works for you.

First: Modified RNENU.msi Installation.

Files required: (all from the root of the CD)
- RNENU.msi (modified - serial number inserted)
- Disk1.CAB (60.3 mb)
- pconfig.dcf (1.63 kb)
- px.ini

Batch String:
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\RNDX7\RNENU.msi /QR Reboot=S

Second: Setup.exe Installation.

Files required: (all from the root of the CD)
- RNENU.msi (original)
- Disk1.CAB (60.3 mb)
- pconfig.dcf (1.63 kb)
- px.ini
- Setup.exe
- Setup.ini (serial inserted)

Open Setup.ini and insert your serial here:

[ProductFeatures]
SoleFeature
ProductID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx

Batch String:
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\RNDX7\Setup.exe /QR


-<Attention>-

Both solutions need a machine clean of previous installation of RecordNow!.

Should you ever have problems upon uninstallation, this is because a certain directory could be missing. However, on a clean machine, it should be created within installation.

This directory is: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{9541FED0-327F-4DF0-8B96-EF57EF622F19}\

It contains two files:
- RecordNow.exe
- STAX.291CE843_86A0_4ED1_B843_C9720B19B025

Did you actually get one of the two methods to work. I can only get method 1, but i cant get the actual program to uninstall using this method and with method 2 it tells me invaled key, but i am using the same key that i used to install it normally.

Well!

Download the attached MSI. Insert your serial number in this format:

xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx

Files required: (all from the root of the CD)

1- RNENU.msi (modified as mentioned above)
2- Disk1.CAB (60.3 mb)
3- pconfig.dcf (1.63 kb)
4- px.ini

Batch String:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\RNDX7\RNENU.msi /QR Reboot=S

Let me know it WORKS.

EDIT: attached rar is deleted by me.

Where does the serial number need to go?

Where does the serial number need to go?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> [OurCompanyName] --> Registration --> [InternalProductName] --> [InternalProductName]_SN --> [ProductID]

You replace [ProductID] with your serial.
