Haven't found it anywhere so here it is:

dumeter3.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-

Registration with .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hagel\DU Meter]
"UserName"="John Doe"
"SerialNum"="xx-xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx"

Nope, reg key doesn't work. Had to register mine manually, and it doesn't put any entries in the registry

[ZoSTeR]

Works fine for me...
Do you have the latest version? (3.05 Build 148)

When you enter the reginfo manually it is stored in
[HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Hagel\DU Meter] and/or USERS
"Configuration"=hex:...

But DUMeter queries the other registry entries (UserName and SerialNum) too and creates the "configuration" entry afterwards.

[Crusty01]

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG isn't a REAL key...it's virtual.
It's the current config from Hkey Local Machine \System

[ZoSTeR]

Yep i know.

Anyway the correct key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hagel ...

which is equivalent to:
HKEY_USERS\your number\Software\Hagel ...

OK Guys, i found a way that works, it's a slight variation of the above...

But it needs a little help to get it completely silent? Here is what i do, i export the following keys from the registry of a fully configured and registered DUmeter install:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hagel\DU Meter]
"Configuration"=hex:***YourDataHere***
"Notifications"=hex:***YourDataHere***
"Logging"=hex:***YourDataHere***

...and save it as "DU_Config.reg"

Then in a Batch file i put in the following:

Taskkill.exe /F /IM DUmeter.exe
REGEDIT /S %alluserprofile%\Desktop\DU_Config.reg
DEL /F /Q %alluserprofile%\Desktop\DU_Config.reg
DEL /F /Q %alluserprofile%\Desktop\DU_Config.bat

...and save it as "DU_Config.bat"

Then what i do is use the "$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Desktop" Dir of CD to copy those files to the Desktop... so on 1st boot i manually click the file "DU_Config.bat" and it does it's thing and deletes the .reg and .bat files, job done...

So, as you can see i've got it down to a single click (but that's not the point of unattended, is it), what i am wondering is how can i do this without clicking anything? I've tried putting the above directly into my install.bat so it does it right after install, but it doesn't work, it says can't find DUmeter.exe process (something like that, can't remember exactly) and nothing has configured DUmeter at all... I guess i need some way to make it run this batch when the desktop loads, but there may be another way i am not seeing...

I did try the method pointed out in this thread, but i also couldn't get it to work... so this is why i do it as i said, i've posted it here for anyone else to use and hopefully for someone to give me some idea how to make it totally silent?

Any Ideas guys, anyone use this on a unattended CD???

TIA
