Does anyone know the silent install for the ACE Mega CodecS Pack 6.03 Pro Edition?
oneless
doesn’t (yet) ! the previous method with .iss file don’t work .
I look for that too !
anyone do that ?
evilvoice
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.

CODE
ACEMCP603PRO.exe /SAVEINF="c:\AceMegaCP_603_ini.inf"
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
CODE
ACEMCP603PRO.exe /LOADINF="c:\AceMegaCP_603_ini.inf" /VERYSILENT
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
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 .
TBlaster
Thx ... it worked for me too!
oneless
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 ?
evilvoice
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! biggrin.gif
Brando569
its not working for me sad.gif 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
Fenix-mx
This is the script (in exe file) for kill the stupid AV popup.

The .bat file is called "acemcp603pro.bat"

And the content is:

CODE
start /wait ACEMCP603PRO.exe /LOADINF AceMegaCP_603_ini.inf /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES


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

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

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

Greetings welcome.gif

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 smile.gif

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

1. Download my attachment Click to view attachment

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 smile.gif

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

P.S. sorry for my poor english smile.gif

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

CODE
Command 1
"%wpipath%\Install\AceMega\AceMegaCP_603_ini.exe"



CODE
Command 2
"%wpipath%\Install\AceMega\acemcp603pro.exe" /LOADINF="c:\AceMegaCP_603_ini.inf" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES


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

JCB

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.

i don't know about you guys but ace mega codec pack is best if installed using the "Just Play" method , then if you install fddshow its all done , you can see all video tipes that you can find , the other methods only breaks harmony of the codecs
