for an installation of winzip without creating icons in startup menu you only need
the /cleaninstall switch
copy a valid winzip from program files to your dist in $OEM$\$progs\

and add the following line in your unattand command file


c:\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe /cleaninstall

that's all...

you perhaps need also a file named
autoinst.txt in the winzip folder containing the following line
I agree to the WinZip Computing License Agreement

you can also get your registration conde from the registry and use the .reg file before the winzip command like that

REM ----------- WINZIP
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Winzip" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "regedit /s %systemdrive%\regfiles\winzip.reg" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\progra~1\WinZip\winzip32.exe /cleaninstall" /f

IT WORKS .......

I have a problem withe the install...
It's install winzip but after i do "UnInstall" it's delete the files in the install folder...
How can i change it?
And also after the install it's still asking for the code...

Thanks for the help !

I have a problem with auto-installation of winzip 7 without tip when i launch it afterwards

and aknott, I can't understand your meaning
I do got autoinst.txt with the line "I agree to the WinZip Computing License Agreement"
so i just need to add "c:\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe /cleaninstall" in order to have no icon created?

Thanks,
Kenneth

Has anyone had any success silently installing WinZip 9.0.6028 Corporate edition?

Last I saw, it works just the same.

I also have this problem, when i put the contents of my winzip folder from my current machine into the $Progs folder for the unattended CD, it works how it's supposed to, but i noticed that it only places a copy into Program Files and NOT actually executing the install procedure in the newly created Windows, when i click it, it begins to install.....
i followed the exact same procedure as runonce outlined but i put my commands in the runonceex file not the start.cmd
does this make any difference?

[Astalavista]

here is what u do,

1. winrar your winzip folder, create a SFX file (self extracting file)
extracting to c:\program files\winzip silent install overwrite options

2. in your runonce add this command

REG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "WinZip 9.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Winzip\WinZipSFX.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 2 /D "\"%systemdrive%\"Program Files"\winzip\winzip32.exe\" /noqp /notip /autoinstall" /f

i hope this helps u out.

thank you, i can see how this is going to work for me now. i'll try it at once!

[chyronn]

no luck, everything works up until when runonceex needs to execute the install. it seems to be doing something but after XP has finished loading after reboot it's not part of the installation. it's there in the Program Files\Winzip folder but it's just sitting there inert waiting for me to double click it and start the process. i really can't understand why the command isn't tripping the switches.

[Astalavista]

i suggest that u download the latest winzip

from www.winzip.com

uninstall and delete your c:\program files\winzip

reinstall winzip 9.1


try the steps outline again.

[chyronn]

Still doesn't work...can someone give me a definitive version of how they got Winxip9.0 to silently install (registered) with the runonceex file?

[prathapml]

First try trouble-shooting as to why the code by Astalasvista did not work - it looks perfectly fine. Check whether it was run at all by using PAUSE statements and removing the silent switches. Check whether you have any special characters in your runonceex which is holding-up execution of the batch-job.

And lastly, this is astalavista's code (posted above) with a slight modification:

REG ADD %KEY%\019 /VE /D "WinZip 9.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Winzip\WinZipSFX.exe" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 2 /D "%ProgramFiles%\winzip\winzip32.exe /noqp /notip /autoinstall" /f

Try it, maybe this would work fine.

ANyone know how to turn off the system tray quick pick thing via registry?

I know theres the /noqp option, but Im using a different method to install Winzip and need to have this turned off automatically.

The reg entry for it seems to use some randomly generated number and I cant figure out the rhyme or reason to it.

THanks!

[Major]

I have tried this batch but i can´t get success silently installing, because it ask me for the location of the folder. I have tried deleting /noqp, and then /notp but without success, it usually ask me on the destination of the program. anu suggestions please.
here the batch file i used

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing application" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\066 /VE /D "WinZip 9.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\066 /V 1 /D "\"%Systemdrive%\WinZip9.0.6224.SR1\winzip.exe\" /noqp /notp /autoinstall" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\066 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\WinZip9.0.6224.SR1\winzip.reg" /f

Exit

Thanks

[Astalavista]

winzip sucks why would u want to use it?

when winrar does so much more?

in addition 7zip is even greater!

[Major]

You are right. i will not use it, but for curious, why it does not work, i have copied the batch i use from your post. i have committed some error??

Sorry and thanks

[Major]
