Anyone know how to do an unattended setup of mIRC? It' should be a 7Zip file, but the -y /q /r:n switches don't work.....
Cheers, EelCapone |

This is a simple one...
Create a REG file with this... CODE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile] @="Chat File" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\DefaultIcon] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\" -noconnect" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\ddeexec] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\ddeexec\Application] @="mIRC" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\ddeexec\ifexec] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile\Shell\open\ddeexec\Topic] @="Connect" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc] @="URL:IRC Protocol" "EditFlags"=hex:02,00,00,00 "URL Protocol"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\DefaultIcon] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\" -noconnect" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\ddeexec] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\ddeexec\Application] @="mIRC" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\ddeexec\ifexec] @="%1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc\Shell\open\ddeexec\Topic] @="Connect" And then copy the mIRC files from c:\program files\mIRC That's all you need to do  The nice thing about this is that you can include you INI files and anything else you want. |

I've never needed to use the Installer at all. I have a 2 year old mIRC folder which I copied over everytime I formatted, and executing mirc.exe seems to import the relevant registry entries, including the irc:// protocol. The only thing I needed to do is execute a reg file containing my registration information.

AaronXP: That's even better...
EelCapone: Just use a packaging software to make an executable. |

You think you know so much. Group: Members Posts: 357 Joined: 6-June 03 Member No.: 4110 |
In case anyone cares, this is how I do it.
ECHO Installing mIRC 6.1. mkdir c:\progra~1\mirc xcopy /e d:\mirc c:\progra~1\mirc REGEDIT /S d:\mirc\install.reg ECHO mIRC 6.1 installed. ECHO. The install.reg file uses the information provided by un4given1. The serial number gets merged later on as part of one file that registers all of my software at the same time. |

I add the same as un4given1, and the registration part and also the uninstall infos (because there WILL be a new build in not long from now...)
CODE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\mIRC] "DisplayName"="mIRC" "UninstallString"="\"c:\\Program Files\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\" -uninstall" Easy enough to add and it doesn't hurt (I guess I like to be torough). oh, the registration part: CODE REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC\License] @="XXXX-XXXXXX" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC\UserName] @="username" (where username is your registered name and X'es are the actual registration number, of course...) If you want mirc customizations, just install it all and configure it, then put it in $OEM$\$Progs. Always worked 100% for me. |

i personally own a custom script, so my only problem it's to unzip the script onto a no_spaces folder like for example C:\utilities\mirc . mirc reg it's not needed if you run the file mirc32.exe

Custom Inno Setup installer can do all your shortcuts and even give you an uninstaller.
