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.

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.

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

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]

I cannot be able to install the program. i have tried differents method withou success. Has anyone got install winzip silently (winzip9.0)

Thanks

[SiMoNsAyS]

this is my way and works:

pack your winzip folder on a winrar sfx archive, comment

;El comentario siguiente contiene secuencias de órdenes para SFX

Path=WinZIP
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
Delete=*.*

export the key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing]

and save it as winzip.reg

for runonce

REG ADD %KEY%\053 /VE /D "WinZIP 9 SR-1 (En)" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\053 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\WinZIP\winzip.exe /S" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\053 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\Software\WinZIP\winzip.reg" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\053 /V 3 /D "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\WinZip\winzip32.exe\" /noqp /autoinstall" /f

[Astalavista]

what does delete *.* do?

[SiMoNsAyS]

@Asta, will delete all the files on the destination folder before extracting it

[Major]

it tells me that it doesnt find the path of the file "C:\Archivos de programa\winzip\winzip32.exe"

i have done the following: at first i have only one file winzip90.exe, i extract it and i get some files .txt and setup.exe, right click on them, add to archive, create sfx archive and paste the comments on the commen tab. but ie tells me that it doesnt fine the path, then i see the directory C:|Archivos de programa\winzip\, i dont see any archive winzip32.exe, only i see the same archives (some files .txt and the archive setup.exe).
What am i doing wrong?

[Major]

I think that i understand what you want to say to me:
first i have to install the program manually and enter the serial, when all is ok, i pick right click on the folder c:\arc....\winzip\, and create sfx archive, so when i will install it silently, it will find winzip32.exe in the folder.

Thank you colega

It's much easyer than you guys think

Install Winzip on a machine, then copy the folder "WinZip" that is under "Program files", to the install directory $OEM$\Progs\ and then type in or copy/paste these lines in RunOnceEx.cmd

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "Winzip 9.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "\"%programfiles%\Winzip\winzip32.exe\" /noqp /notip /autoinstall" /f

You can also use the switch /cleaninstall instead of /autoinstall, then you get no shortcuts, for registration entered you need also add a *.reg file

[durex]

Which is the exact same method thats outlined on the very 1st post of this thread...

[oneless]

about a WPI way for winzip 9 ?
