Well, Ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not it's true...WINAMP 5 DOES EXIST! Well, now we have yet ANOTHER tackle on our hands! Let's see if anyone can find the apps switch to silently install this new wonderful beauty........WITHOUT converting it to an .msi file...LOL....that is...........

if you can..MWAH HAH HAH HAH HA!

Here's the link to the file for download: http://www.winamp.com/player/free.php

Cheers and goodluck!
Keep me posted....I would love it if you can, cuz I LOVE WINAMP!

/S is the silent for nullsoft created installs but it installs all the crap.
and after 10th I guess beta they've released the finall...

[knewman01]

Sent an email to customer support yesterday about the pro release
To summarize, I told them that I would be unwilling to purchase their product if it did not contain a facility to allow me to perform a completely unattended install with no pop-ups until first run, and no advertising installed on the desktop.

Yeah, I know, it's the Pro version @ $14.99. I'm actually willing to buy it if it meets my requirements. If enough people were to inform them of this need, they might see their way to fixing the broken /S install, and removing the crap from at least the purchased version.

way to go!
I hope they'll listen

[XL-DJK]

Yeah, I hear ya, Great stuff! I support you all the way!

What?

[Cloudstrife]

i like it... the new skin in particular. not those tiny teeny buttons as the old releases. always needed a magnifier for those
btw, u can use the /S switch and after that "taskkill /im winamp.exe"
but dont forget to disable error reporting via registry right before, otherwise u get an annoyin notification bout a buggy winamp.. hehe

I created a msi file captured with the following settings:

Install type: FULL
No association with video files
No AOL shortcut
No connection to internet

If it works well I could create some msi files with other options (eg. no plugins)

*edit: censored ed2link

[XtremeMaC]

send it to me
I don't think emule links are welcomed.

[Aaron]

ed2k/bittorrent links are fine, as long as the download itself is legal

[XtremeMaC]

[ZoSTeR]

Now the question is if repacking a copyrighted application is legal?
I bet under the DMCA it's not, since it involves some sort of reverse engineering.

Any legal experts around?

okay here's ZoSTeR's winamp:

how can register winamp to PRO version?

[beppemito]

sorry...i've already fix it with registry entry...

[ZoSTeR]

For all the others wondering, it's:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nullsoft\Winamp]
"regname"="John Doe"
"regkey"="xxxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx"

You have to take the regkey value from an existing installation because it's not the value you enter into the registration form.

[Screwz Luse]

Is there a way to change that MSI file so that it does associate with video files but keep all the other settings by any chance? I like to use Winamp as my default

[ZoSTeR]

Here are two updated versions:

With video file associations:
ed2k://|file|WinAmp5msi_3.rar|4162544|F1D1719E44940A237948921A4CA91F3B|

Without video file associations:
ed2k://|file|WinAmp5msi_3novid.rar|4163414|9B78B054E2C55E7B4AC9C65E51479151|

I had to deactivate the Sonic ripping/burning feature because of problems with the px2 driver and the msi file.
That's what's Nero and EAC for anyway
