I need help with this one!

If you did a search you would find your answer in about 2 secounds (depending on your connection speed and hardware) as this has already been covered in previous posts...

EDIT: Oh sorry! Did not see that you actually have posted in one of these previous posts...
Then this would be a double post wich is against the rules.

AGAIN that the latest DivxPlay/Create is bugged, and the /S switch (found as normal .exe /?) does not work. Wait for an update, use and old version or use AutoIt3 to install this version.

I can't use AutoIt3 because my divx it's integrated in another installer.....

Are you sure about "DivxPlay/Create is bugged"? huh.gif I'm using 6.0.3 1.0.0.108 in the meantime but i'm thinking to move to Xvid if i can't find a switch! thumbdown.gif

I'm not sure it's a bug no.

But if you try run setup with /? it tells you /S is the silent switch. /S has worked fine up until now, so im guessing it's a bug.

Guess the changes from 6.0.3 1.0.0.108 is not that important.

Can't? huh.gif
And where do you think the DivX installer is? Chances are that it is extracted and executed from your temp directory.

I do this with AutoGordianKnot and Gordianknot in the AutoIt thread. I wait for the temp installer to show it's 1st window, then I hide the window. I then execute the temp installer with silent switches and once done, I just close the process of the 1st temp installer. Setup happily continues...

That should work unless of the silent switches problem that BoardBabe has mentioned. I would check myself but that bloated installer is too big for just installing a video codec.

DivX 6.1 Javascript silencer

This is a solution without AutoIT, it uses the Windows Scripting Host instead.

It is made for the german installer, but it is easy to apply to your localization.
This is for the installer with GoogleBAR (for IE) and Google DESKTOP.
The GoogleBAR will be installed with both versions of this script
(That is not changeable through simple keyboard commands)
but there are two versions, one with Google Desktop and one without.


Version with Google DESKTOP DISABLED:
CODE
var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.RUN ("\"DivXCreate.exe\"");
WScript.Sleep(3500);
WshShell.AppActivate("Sprachenauswahl");
; YOU NEED TO CHANGE THIS ^^^ TO YOUR LANGUAGE!
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB} {ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{RIGHT}{DOWN 2} {DOWN} {LEFT 2}{DOWN} {DOWN} {ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(18500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{DOWN}{ENTER 2}");
WScript.Sleep(800);

Version with Google DESKTOP ENABLED:
CODE
var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.RUN ("\"DivXCreate.exe\"");
WScript.Sleep(3500);
WshShell.AppActivate("Sprachenauswahl");
; YOU NEED TO CHANGE THIS ^^^ TO YOUR LANGUAGE!
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{TAB} {ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{RIGHT}{DOWN 2} {DOWN} {LEFT 2}{DOWN} {DOWN} {ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(18500);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(800);
WshShell.SendKeys ("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(800);

Use MHz' AutoIt script in the AutoIt script collection thread. I've tried it and it is very professional and smooth working (wish there were and option to remove ALL shortcuts though, but I inprovised that).

And No im not wrong. The silent switch /S does not work. If the creators of DiVX intended for it to work or not, in this version, (namely if it can be defined as a bug or not) I do not know. It does not appear to be any other switches either. Why don't you just use AutoIt? It's simple and works perfectly. It's even as good as no GUI at all appearing.

Try autoit and you will see...

I just like to avoid AutoIt wherever possible (nothing personal, I just *think* that the keypresses in the installers are more consistent between version changes, and they are so easy to do with a little and clear-to-read wsh-script...), and besides that, someone asked for a non-AutoIt possibility smile.gif

Some here just want a one line with /S without any windows shown at all. Good luck to them whistling.gif as I am glad to use other methods.

I do not understand what is so clearer about a Wsh script ? Atleast say it is more native to the OS and then I may believe you some more. Wsh scripts are fine to me for some things, but looking at those Sleeps to control the flow looks so blind and unreliable. Seriously, 18.5 seconds before a (blind) Send ? If I did that with Sleeps and Sends in AutoIt, then I would perhaps not even bother with using it. Amongst the AutoIt standard install is a Dll called AutoItX3.dll. This Dll can help assist other languages. An 85 Kb Dll to make Wsh into a reliable install automator is a good investment IMHO.
Example VBS with AutoItX3
CODE
Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")

oAutoIt.Run "DivXCreate.exe"

oAutoIt.WinWait "Language selection", "Please select the language"
oAutoIt.ControlClick "Language selection", "Please select the language", "Button1"

oAutoIt.WinWait "DivX Create Bundle", "Welcome"
oAutoIt.ControlClick "DivX Create Bundle", "Welcome", "Button2"

oAutoIt.WinWait "DivX Create Bundle", "License Agreement"
oAutoIt.ControlCommand "DivX Create Bundle", "License Agreement", "Button4", "Check", ""
oAutoIt.ControlClick "DivX Create Bundle", "License Agreement", "Button2"

oAutoIt.WinWait "DivX Create Bundle", "Choose Components"
oAutoIt.ControlClick "DivX Create Bundle", "Choose Components", "Button2"

oAutoIt.WinWait "DivX Create Bundle", "Selecting an installation folder"
oAutoIt.ControlClick "DivX Create Bundle", "Selecting an installation folder", "Button2"

oAutoIt.WinWait "DivX Create Bundle", "Free! Google Toolbar"
oAutoIt.ControlCommand "DivX Create Bundle", "Free! Google Toolbar", "Button4", "UnCheck", ""
oAutoIt.ControlClick "DivX Create Bundle", "Free! Google Toolbar", "Button2"

oAutoIt.WinWait "DivX Create Bundle", "Free! Google Desktop"
oAutoIt.ControlClick "DivX Create Bundle", "Free! Google Desktop", "Button5"
oAutoIt.ControlClick "DivX Create Bundle", "Free! Google Desktop", "Button2"

oAutoIt.WinWait "DivX Create Bundle", "Installation Complete"
oAutoIt.ControlClick "DivX Create Bundle", "Installation Complete", "Button2"

Set oAutoIt = Nothing

It will reliably wait for each window and clicks the buttons and checkboxes directly without any need to be active. smile.gif

@BoardBabe
Easy to take out the working directory which is the shortcut directory. newwink.gif
CODE
; Remove shortcuts.
If _MainShortcut('DivX Codec\Decoder Configuration Utility.lnk') Then
    DirRemove(@WorkingDir, 1); <---- remove shortcut directory
    _Desktop('DivX Converter.lnk')
    _Desktop('DivX Movies.lnk')
    _Desktop('DivX Player.lnk')
EndIf

The _MainShortcut() function changes the working directory as does the _Desktop() and the _QuickLaunch() functions also.

i dont have divx in my ua dvd because i only use xvid (even for encoding video), but i have a suggestion. maybe you shloud try to grab the activex filters that divx uses and just use command line switches to register them unattended. this way works with a few codecs i had to use before. i only registered the .ax files. maybe this doesnt work for divx but give it a try.

What's it with those .ax files thingy ? As the only thing I need is DivX-playback (I want the latest codec newwink.gif)

Or is there else a good alternative for DivX with the same (or better ?) quality ?

The latest one out now is DivX Play 6.1.1 1.0.0.161 (this is what I have)

thx!
jeroen.

@jeroeneke the .ax are filters tha can do many things. codecs use them as well as other programs. for divx playback install divx playback bundle and look for divxdec.ax (dont remeber exactly as i dont use divx) and copy to system32 and use a cmd file to register them so you can use it as playback filter.

an advise, if you only want playback functionality, use ffdshow or other decoders that are free and can decode almost anything.

@mercury_22
for decoding im not sure, but maybe you can try grabbing all filters installed by divx along with the folder inside program files. maybe this helps. also look in the registry for entries that have to do with divx.

i personally prefer xvid wich can encode/decode avi files with same quality that divx and its free. also install silently well.

i know its free but i really prefer to install small files and the playbundle is around 12 mb, wich makes me go the other way around.

glad you had your setup working with your custom setup. never thought of making an snapshot to see what is chaned during install, but i dont need divx, so i will keep xvid and my other decoders.

I just added it attended in my setup, first time my account loads I have to install DivX newwink.gif it isn't that hard smile.gif

I tried ffdshow and I was getting some "slow" video processing, so that didn't do it for me (tried different settings)

thx anyway

hopefully they bring out a "silence-able" installer in one of their next versions newwink.gif

The DivX problem wasn't that bad for me (that it asks some stuff) but I need to create this for my school (this is a part of my end-task) and everything should be silently!


So can somebody explain me what to do to register that .ax-files ? I've never heard of them, and I certainly don't know how to register, and which files to register!

The only thing I need to have installed is the DivX codec from the DivX Play Bundle setup newwink.gif

also, if I only register those .ax-files, whil I still have the tray-icon if I play a DivX movie ? (I would like to have it, as you can easily adjust the contrast and brightness and stuff newwink.gif)


thanks in advance!

jeroen.

let me know if my post isn't obvious enough, I hadn't got much time at the moment newwink.gif
elajua
Mar 5 2006, 03:18 AM
well, if you want to be able to use the tray icon i dont think registering the ax filters will do it. what you should try is to monitor the divx play bundle setup and then make an installer out of it. try installer design studio from www.scriptlogic.com.

note that mercury22 posted that he used installrite and the monitonring of the setup with installrite was successfull. so, do the same then...

I've done it with installrite! Works great!! Also I have seen that if you register DivX and than create the installrite installer, you can install a registered DivX!! looks verry handy to me!

I'm glad that it's working for you too and just to clarify some things:

1. to register ax file go to run box browse for your .ax file and just write in front of the path regsvr32

or with a batch file

CODE
regsvr32.exe "your path \file.ax" /S


2.YOU DON'T NEED TO MOVE OR COPY THE .ax FILE TO "SISTEM32" !

3.To unregister .ax file use
CODE
regsvr32.exe /u /s (/s it's for silent)
