can I get rid of the popup window that appears at the end of the silent setup?
I'm using the MSFN Guide

[ahmedramzi]

using PSKILL for killing explorer.exe won't make any sense to me!

Have you tried Numinious's Divx & Xvid AX registering method? I've tested it and it works brilliantly without needing any bloated software

[ahmedramzi]

thx Aaron, I will
But the problem is that I have programs that behaves similary, like Download Accelerator when it opens IE after installation..

How's this process work? What does it do?

[ahmedramzi]

Here's how I did it, thanks to Great Numinious:

1. Make a folder called: CODECS in your c:\ drive
1. Install DivX & Xvid
2. Copy the two files: divxdec.ax & xvid.ax, found in windows\system32 folder to the CODECS folder
3. Create two files in the CODECS folder: COMMAND.BAT, & REGISTER.REG
4. In COMMAND.BAT, Insert these:

Quote

CLS
@echo off
ECHO.
ECHO Copying Codecs...
COPY "%systemdrive%\Codecs\divxdec.ax" "%systemroot%\system32\"
COPY "%systemdrive%\Codecs\xvid.ax" "%systemroot%\system32\"
ECHO.
ECHO Registering Codecs...
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Codecs\register.reg
regsvr32.exe %systemroot%\system32\xvid.ax /s
regsvr32.exe %systemroot%\system32\divxdec.ax /s
ECHO.
ECHO You Are Done!
EXIT

5. in REGISTER.REG, insert these:

you're done, all you have to do is to double click the batch file, or call it from another batch if you want to install unattendedly.

[Aaron]

There's a better way of doing it.

Put all the ax files in $OEM$\$$\System32

Then just do:

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Codecs\register.reg
regsvr32.exe xvid.ax /s
regsvr32.exe divxdec.ax /s

No path to system32 needed, because anything in system32 can be executed from anywhere.
