instead of recreating the whole MSI, you could just edit the features to add the optionally via commandline.

It would be faster and easier instead of recreating the whole thing from scratch.

Did anyone try to silent install Acdsee standard 5.0?
I go to this folder c:\documents and settings\"user name"\Local settings\Temp\
and got 4 files.
Setup.INI, _ISMSIDEL.INI, 0x0409.ini, ACDSee 5.0 Standard.msi.
By the way, it is a retail version, not a trial version.

Then I use
1. *.msi /QB or /QN
2. msiexec /i *.msi REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS /qb-
and regestry. I used both methods.

Acdsee 5.0 works, but it can't auto establish image file associations. I need to do that by myself.

I mean I need to start Acdsee and click Tools>>>File Associations>>>Images Files>>>Select All, then I can open Image files with Acdsee.
If I don't use silent install, then it can auto establish image file associations.
How to silent install acdsee 5.0 and auto establish image file associations? any way out?

yea but be carefull on what u remove! some of them are dependent on each other...

@Please i haven't experienced that, i'll check, i still use 5.0 powerpack.

oh i didn't say anything about removing

but if you look at the normal installer, jsut set the same options that the normal one does, but conditional via cmdline lol.

By the way, I read following link and this link is for acdsee standard 5.01 to silent install, but still can't work

You can't reg. file associations via cmd line on a silent install as far as i can tell due to the fact that custom action "SetFileAssociations" is not a advertised public property. You can directly edit the msi, or use a transform (.mst) to work around this. Get Wise studio or InstallShield Tuner.....the eval. versions will build them for you easily and you will be able to maintain vendor support since the msi packages will not be modified. Through an mst, you will also be able to specify what you would like installed (i don't like the Camera plugs or the internet printing services) and also input your personal info as well (name, company, serial number. etc)

You can also capture the changes in the registry and just do a silent reg import.


If anyone cares....the msi uses SetFileAssociations to make a call to ShellIntMgr.dl (v.5x) or ShellIntMgr20.dll (v.6x)l. I haven't looked into the call switches for these dll's, but it could offer a workaround.
