greeeeeeat post man but........I would like a silent msn installer in italian, can you please explain me how to integrate msn+msn plus+some changes with mess.be patch?

The MSN Messenger installer was made with InstallShield AdminStudio by performing a two step snapshot, which is how I always repack applications. So if you know how to repack an app into an .msi file, either with AdminStudio or some other tool, then you can do this. Just do snapshot 1, then install your app and make any changes to it such as using the MSN patcher or installing Messenger Plus, then do snapshot 2. Obviously there is some cleanup and little things to change with the resulting files and registry entries, but it's really quite simple. With the exception of having to make a little VBscript, the MSN Messenger installer was really one of the easier ones I've done lately.

real alternative and quicktime alternative switchless players , dont install....

@muiz, I've never had an issue with either of those installers. Ever. Are you receiving an error message? Is the install directory present (%programfiles%\Multimedia\Real Alternative or %programfiles%\Multimedia\QuickTime Alternative) ? And did you notice that those installers both point to Media Player Classic at %programfiles%\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe ?

@RogueSpear,
very cool...
I have a motherload of ss installers on my HDD, wish I could share the best of 'em, but that would be warez promotion...I'll try to get back here real soon w/some freeware ss links of my own.
nice job holmes!

nevermind , both came out with new version

Hey thanks for the great work

Could I request you for the following Swtichless installers:

7-Zip v4.31
FireFox v1.5 Final
Thunderbird v1.5
Cole2K Codec Pack [www.cole2k.net]

You are using XP Pro English right?, I tested them on a friends PC and they work fine for him, maybe you have some conflicting software already installed?

XP PRO SP2 Dutch

And already installed? it installed from svcpack right? , so no nothing.

maybe it's got corrupted?

downloaded again .... still no go, so guess its not corrupted

Actually, I'm going to be posting FireFox here very shortly, courtesy of Natan. 7-Zip I could see doing, but the other two unfortunately I probably won't. I don't use them or install them anywhere and I still have things to repack that I do use and support. Plus keeping up with the new versions of what is here already is more time consuming than you'd imagine.

@muiz, I'm honestly not sure what to do for you. The last version I had posted got downloaded something like 40 times and the one before that even more. And this is the first report of a problem I've ever had. Is there at least an entry in the application event log that the install began?

The download links in this thread are like apples on a tree. So many to pick.
Simply amazing effort to do all this, RogueSpear.

Gmaildrive 1.09




Couldnt make 1 exe of it , but its swichless now.

Runs from : RunOnce

Just tested, because this is a funny concept... it's working, though new Gmail anti-virus features do prevent exe files from being attached. I wouldn't rely to much on this on production, but it's fun.

Well believe it or not these are all installs that I need to support, both the .msi installs and the silent ones, depending on the situation. So I figured it wouldn't be too much trouble to put them out there for others to use. And however many installers I've posted in this thread, I have probably the same amount made up for commercial software (Office, Nero, etc.). I just don't feel like remaking those without the reg info where someone could import their own later. That would be too much for me right now, plus it could only lead to trouble.

Please can you make a Swtichles installer for DirectX December 2005 with svcpack.

FOOSA: you can get it from here. it's repacked, and totally silent

@mickmack, excuse my ignorance but what is this DirectX package for? Will it update DX on XP SP2 or is this for earlier operating systems?

RogueSpear: it updates DX libraries on XPSP2. several games such as NFS:MW & Battlefield2 need updated components and cannot run witjout them. anyway, it is always good to have everything up to date. you can have more info here

Ok, I was curious as this never shows up on Microsoft Update, even under the "Optional" section. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for the d/l link

Thank you sir and to ANDYru



Here the link to the Redistributables English version

RogueSpear could I further request you for:

1). Macromedia Flash Player 8
2). Macromedia Shockwave Player
3). Hacked WGA v1.4.393 [http://rapidshare.de/files/8566728/wgav143930c.zip.html] Here's the hacked .DLL, can you make a silent installer that installs with svcpack?

Flash 8 is in RyanVM's Update Pack and the hacked WGA is in my Update Pack Addon so I won't be making any installers for those. Shockwave I'll take a look at. I just need to get the msi file version of it.

RogueSpear.....I have used a few of your switchless installers with great success and thank you for them. I have one glitch that i cannot seem to break down though......

I am trying to install dotnet framework 2.0 with your installer and my UXPCD restarts after file extraction is complete. There is an error sound but it shuts down so fast, I can't read it, nor hope to pause the screen to see it. Has anyone else reported an issue with this installer? I just thought of this too......Does DotNet 2.0 replace 1.1? Or is it an addition? Should I install both ot just use 2.0? I have my WPI set to run the 1.1 install first and then start up 2.0........Might that be why it's crapping out?

B of B

I always install .NET 1.1 and J# 1.1 from svcpack.inf, then .NET 2.0 and J# 2.0 from RunOnceEx. I'll do a comparison of the .NET 2.0 installer I have posted here and what I'm using because I may updated it since (getting to be too many installers to keep track of).

K...Thx, I'll check back later!

Non english users dont use ryans pack.

It's to my understanding that there is a Dutch and a German version made by others. Not sure about the German. Anyhow, integrating Flash right into the source is not very hard, so I won't be making an installer for it.

Have you had a chance to check the Dot Net 2.0 installer yet, Rogue?

I haven't, but this isn't the first report of an issue that I've gotten. What I would recommend is to use the installer that RyanVM made. Same usage, install from GuiRunOnce or RunOnceEx. I know for certain there are no issues outstanding with his installer. I think I will be taking the entry for mine offline until I can get back to it.

Can someone make me an installer for this..

it's a program for those of us who got dynamic ip, it gives you an address with words to work with.
thanks

Macromedia flash and shockwave player :

Flash player 8

installs from : svcpack



runs from svcpack


Shockwave player 10



doesnt run from svcpack ( dont know why )

edit specialy for Tomcat76

@muiz: Thanks!

@RougeSpear, I dont use your pack, im using Kel's Uber Pack. So please could you create a svcpack installer for WGA Hacked?

Media Portal






Switchless 0.2.0 :



runs from : svcpack

Alcohol 120% 1.9.5 (build 3105)

First install alcohol 120% and register it , then copy the following files :

1. alcohol.exe
2. AxCmd.exe
3. AXShlEx.dll
4. star_syn_client.dll

Make a sfx file from these files with the following :



i named it : alcpatch.exe

register :



run alcohol120.exe and alcpatch.exe from svcpack
Make sure alcohol120.exe runs first



no more wizard new hardware !!

I think Kel keeps up a version of his pack with the hacked WGA in it. It's quite enough work for me to keep up these installers and my update pack. Granted I don't update my pack on a daily basis, because it doesn't need it. But there are enough choices out there for you.

Nero burning rom 7.0.1.4 premium


(I used "tempuser"s msi and method to create this , so those credits go to him)


Contains only nero burning rom and smart start....

See this tread for more options ...







link fix ( also tempusers file only modified )



reg :



Run nero.exe and links.exe from svcpack
first nero.exe then links.exe

Well he stopped adding the hacked WGA's in his packs now...

Well that's a shame. If you want the hacked WGA you can get it in my pack or find it elsewhere. This thread isn't a free for all request line.

Fine. Could you tell me how do you run two simultaneous .exe files from svcpack?

you cant

How do you do this then?

Take a look inside of a svcpack.inf file that has some stuff in it and it should be pretty clear. Also you may want to do some reading in the MSFN Unattended Install Guide in order to brush up on the basics. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but this is pretty basic stuff and this thread is not the place for it either. We all gotta start somewhere and the guide is a great place to get more info than you can shake a stick at.

Though you'd like to know Paint.NET v2.6 has been released.

Actually it has not. If you look at their web site it clearly says when it's scheduled for release. If you post anymore crap in my thread I'm going to report it to the moderators.

EDIT: Also if you post anymore of my installers anywhere else without asking me first, I will do everything I can to get kicked off of that site too.

Update - 20051219
Added WinRAR V3.51
Removed .NET Framework V1.1 and V2.0
Updated MSN Messenger to V7.5.0322
Updated RAW Image Thumbnailer & View to V1.0 Build 50
Updated VMware Tools to V5.5


I was unable to locate any correspondance in my e-mail showing that I received permission from RyanVM to post his switchless silent installer of .NET 1.1 so it has been removed. Plus he has it posted right on the front page of his web site. After my little outburst in the previous post, I decided to see if I could back up the one and only installer that I did not make with a permission correspondance.

I found an issue with my .NET 2.0 installer that only affects some installs. Don't know why, but I'll make an installer once Microsoft fixes the bug that prevents it from being installed from cmdlines.txt. For the time being, once again, I suggest using Ryan's installer as it seems to be perfect.

The MSN Messenger installer has several small inprovements in addition to the version update. I did remove the .msi installer however as pushing the .msi from Group Policy resulted in the app being broken. I've never seen anything like it before. I could install direct from the .msi file or the switchless silent installer and everything is fine. Run it from a GPO push and it crashes Anyhow, the switchless silent installer works just fine.
