psppxi.msi Serialnumber=XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXX /qb should work

do you know how to disable the yahoo toolbar, the desktop shortcut and the update frequency function during the installation?

it looks like the following switches doesnt work anymore:

APPLAUNCH_REGISTRATION=0 PSP_INSTALLRCM=0 PSP_CREATEQUICKLAUNCH=0 PSP_MYPSPFILESGLOBAL=0 PSP_UPDATEFREQ=3 PSP_FILEASSOC_BMP=0 PSP_FILEASSOC_JPG=0 PSP_FILEASSOC_GIF=0 PSP_FILEASSOC_PNG=0 PSP_FILEASSOC_TIFF=0 PSP_YAHOO=0

yup those switch fail to work and this product want to activate.... sigh no idea to unattended it at the moment..... nice update with bad installation type...
psp 10 still the best.....

I had trouble integrating patches in Paint Shop Pro X. However I managed to have it trimmed down to a 93 MB fully working installer. I will give some information on my website when I have time.

I edited the MST-files and changed these lines:

RebootYesNo No

1.Download the attached file.

2.To make the installation unattended use this:


3.Simply change the 1033.mst in the code above with the language that u want.
1031.mst is for German language
1033.mst for English
1034.mst for Spanish
1036.mst for French
1040.mst for Italian
1043.mst for Dutch

Half way through. Now only the activation left...

But you still have to activate it, right?

YES!

Hi UT_lol,

TNX for this sharing.

I've tested the English (1033) and the French (1036) install with yr .mst files.
English install OK

French install Error 2254 (see here image bellow).
Click to view attachment
Then i've tested with the original French 1036.mst file... it works.

1) May you correct yr 1036.mst file and, if possible, let me know how did you edited and modified the .mst files?

2) I have no " ACTIVATE" window come in when i launch the appz.
Moreover, i can NOT find where/how to activate it... All what i found is Help/Buy now... which doesn't invite me to activate the appz.
How do i Activate it (silently or not silently)?

Regards
coucou

coucou - I dont know what could be the problem with the french .mst-file. I edited all of them the same way with InstallShield Admin Studio. I have now tried out all of the .mst-files. And I didnt had any kind of problems @ all. I would suggest that u download the file again to be sure that it didnt get corrupt. It could also be of help if anyone else would try these and let me know.
About the activation. It will ask u to activate it AFTER your first run. By that I mean that u have to first run the program and the close it to be able to activate it.

GoodLuck!

the dutch version does give the same error.

I've downloaded again, tested again... same problem

I ran the program close it many times, i even reboot the computer... it never ask me for activation.
It could be, because i've activated it a week ago when i tested the silent install. But i deleted all the "corel" and 'Päint Shop" registry with jv16 Power Tools.
-a Where could be located the activation registry?
-b How do i know that Paint Shop is activated?

Regards
coucou

no body know how to activate silently.... @@"

yes, using an autoit script. Other option would be to save the activation file from computer to computer when you activate it first time.

By the way, you can uninstall PSP, the key will be there. It seems a bit difficult to remove it.

anybody knows how to auto activate it? since our friend said copy the activate file ... but which file?

Hi,

I've made several activation test.

a1) I did found KGyGaAvL.sys and copy it in a safe folder then deleted it from Windows/Sytem32, I did NOT found E409E98A27.sys
a2) I deleted HKCU/Protexis and HKLM/Protexis 540220473 and 540228105 from the registry
a3) I run PSP and this time i could activate it I copied all these registry in the safe folder.

b1) I uninstalled PSP and deleted everything regarding PSP (KGyGaAvL.sys, HKCU/Corel, HKLM/Corel, HKCU/Protexis and HKLM/Protexis
b2) New Installation with a new serial number
b3) Try launching PSP to activate it... NO CHANCE i got error message"This copy of PaintShop is epired and will be stoped"
b4) I replaced Windows/Sytem32/KGyGaAvL.sys by thhat copied in the safe folder (here above), replaced all
HKCU/Corel, HKLM/Corel, HKCU/Protexis and HKLM/Protexis by those in a safe folder (here above), try launching PSP to activate it... NO CHANCE... PSP expired.

c1) I uninstalled PSP and deleted everything regarding PSP (KGyGaAvL.sys, HKCU/Corel, HKLM/Corel, HKCU/Protexis and HKLM/Protexis
c2) New Installation with the first working serial number
c3) Try launching PSP to activate it... NO CHANCE PSP expired.

Anyone can help?
What file/registry to remove all PSP tracks/marks for enabling a new activation?

Regards
coucou

Coucou are you installing try befor you buy version ? You could try installing the full version.

That what i installed

coucou

May you be kind to give us more info
where the activation file is located ???
what key to complete uninstall PSP???

Regards
coucou

I don't really know where it is located, but using an install monitor software, like repacker, you should be able to spot it.

Anyways, when you activate it, it gives you the option to save the activation as a text file.

I'm sorry but I can't offer any help with this installation. I have decided not to upgrade to Paint Shop Pro XI, since it adds nothing useful to me over Paint Shop Pro X for its price.

same as me...
still psp 10 to go.... sigh ... bad bad corel

I know this topic is a bit old but I found out how recover Corel Paint Shop Pro after the "this copy expired" thing, you see, the first file KGyGaAvL.sys it's okay to delete but the second one E409E98A27.sys you won't find it because the setup program on each installation creates a different file, I mean you can get that E409E98A27.sys file or a file with a different name like in my case that I got a D2FBED2A19.sys file, you can easily find the file that your installation created because it has the same modification date as the KGyGaAvL.sys file, deleting that file along the KGyGaAvL.sys will enable you to reactivate your Corel Paint Shop Pro XI again

Just a heads up, there is an update for PSPXI out, takes it to v11.11, it also adds another service called PSIService which is Protexis Licensing Service and the program wont run unless this service is running, another reason to stick with v10.

So all Corel does for business is creating new copy protection methods, as changes between PSPX and PSPXI are minimal. They better start working on improving their tools section. Drawing Letters is still hard to deal with for example.

It looks that way, I managed to blag a copy from PC World for free as a sweetner for buying a laptop, I suppose Corel have a right to protect their software but stopping me from using the program because I don't want services running all over the place is a bit drastic, its another example of hurting the folks who buy the software or blag it .

I haven't found a legal way to register the program after a silent install which affects folks who do this sort of thing , adding services that don't really need to be there affects folks who like to slim Windows etc so what's the point in buying it?, may as well stick with v10 for the reasons you pointed out. or as I haven't noticed any probs with this version don't update.

Hm. If you save [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Protexis] keys from registry after manual activating, after a normal install (silent with serial) add the saved reg keys and you will get an ACTIVATED PSP XI. It worked for me... (I think the protexis is enough, but who knows...?)

already deleted version xi ... version 10 still best...
have u try to reformat windows and install it without activate? and reg with the reg u say so...
i think the activation box will jump up... lazy download such useless upgrade version that doesn't function more but with stupid activation only....

It won't work, when the main exe is run, hidden .sys files are checked for and if not there created in the Windows System dir, one is the KGyGaAvL.sys and the other one is a randon named file that is different with every Windows install, you could activate it, back up the sys files and the protexis reg entries and reinstall PSP on the same Windows install and it should be activated, if you reload Windows on the same machine those same files wont work I have tried.

Yeah, you have right. I have tried only on my machine... I think if someone hack the main exe, this will be a real solution of activate. Or a corporate edition...
