Install Adobe Reader 7.0.5 with "Display PDF in browser" unchecked, not disabled.

The solution is pathetically simple, (doesn't even require a transform).... ready... don't blink, you'll miss it.

Thanks to MarkATS's post in the Adobe forums with this post. (select Log in as guest near the bottom).

To quote from the page

Quote

On the commandline, set the property: INSTALLLEVEL=99

I personally now use

msiexec /qb /i "Adobe Reader 7.0.5.msi" INSTALLLEVEL=99 TRANSFORMS="Adobe Reader 7.0.5.mst"

After using the InstallShield Tuner setting "Disable Display of PDF in Browser", and getting some negative feedback from people who like the feature, I set on a long path of finding how to allow it to be re-enabled, but unchecked by default. Many registry and file compares later with nothing but broken installs to show for it, I stumbled across the above parameter (ok not technically a switch, if this post doesn't belong here, politely PM me where it should go and I'll remove contents and post elsewhere).

I have personally tested this with a fully up to date Win XP installation with both IE and Firefox 1.0.7 and it successfully toggles for both browsers. It starts with .pdf's loading in standalone reader, but when you check "Display PDF in browser", it successfully toggles it back to in the browser!!!!

Enjoy MSFN community!

Also for open office you can just download the .exe file and use /S as well.

e.g. Oo2.exe /S

Foxit PDF Reader silent install ( a small and fast pdf reader, whose only disadvantage is, that it can't handle form-sheets):
I just wrote a batch to install the foxit PDFReader and set it as default application for opening pdfs. It installs the Reader to %PROGRAMFILES%.
Just put the exe, the reg and the cmd file into the same directory and call the batch.

Attached File(s)

It doesn't work, please replace the batch with this:

@echo off&setlocal enableextensions
REM Change the current path to the directory of this batch
cd /D %~dp0

REM Copy the programfile to the "PROGRAM FILES"-directory
mkdir "%PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit PDFReader"
Copy "Foxit Reader.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit PDFReader" /Y

REM Import the registry-settings, not containing any paths
regedit /S foxit.reg

REM Set exefile to the .exe-file of Foxit PDF Reader
set exefile=%PROGRAMFILES%\Foxit PDFReader\Foxit Reader.exe

REM import the registry settings, containing a path
REG ADD "HKCR\FoxitReader.Document\DefaultIcon" /VE /D "%exefile%,1" /F
REG ADD "HKCR\FoxitReader.Document\protocol\StdFileEditing\server" /VE /D "%exefile%" /F
REG ADD "HKCR\FoxitReader.Document\shell\open\command" /VE /D "\"%exefile%\" \"%%1\"" /F

You lost me here....
9) Need the f-secure folder on cd?
Do a silent install in RunOnceEx?

10) Then have windows restart in RunOnceEx?
Execute FSUpdate.exe via RunOnceEx?

11) ???
12) ??

Does not seem very unattended to me...maybe I misunderstood?

These all steps is ONLY for making Unattended files...
You need install F-Secure before execute "FSUpdate.exe". Then install virus updates and make
dbupdate.sfx.
Finaly you have one directory "F-Secure" and two files - dbupdate.sfx and reghack.reg
Place them to your UA CD and and execute from RunOnceEx fsecure.exe -s, then dbupdate and reghack.
That's all

Xfire

I had this posted here a long while ago, but it looks like it got deleted from the topic. Xfire used to not make shortcuts properly, but thanks to a forum post it has been fixed as of version 1.50.

The current switch is:

xfire_installer.exe /S

Which is 100% functional. For archival purposes, the old method was using a small Delphi shortcut-making program and this batch file:

silent.bat

mkdir "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Xfire\"
shortcut.exe /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Xfire.lnk" /a:c /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Xfire\Xfire.exe" /i:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Xfire\Xfire.exe"
shortcut.exe /f:"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Xfire\Xfire.lnk" /a:c /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Xfire\Xfire.exe" /i:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Xfire\Xfire.exe"
shortcut.exe /f:"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop\Xfire.lnk" /a:c /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Xfire\Xfire.exe" /i:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Xfire\Xfire.exe"

Attached File(s)

•  Shortcut.exe (56K)
  Number of downloads: 72

Total Commander 6.01

• Download the installer.
  
• Using Total Commander itself, open the installer using CTRL+PGDN
  
• Copy install.inf to the other pane using F5. You could also use your favorite packer program like winzip, winrar,... but why bother if you have TC?
  
• Edit install.inf as follows:

[auto]
auto=1
lang=1
alllang=1
iniloc=c:\totalcmd
iniall=1
mkgroup=1
mkdesktop=1

• See the section [Languages] to know your language number. If you are reading this forum, you are smart enough to figure out the rest of the file.
  
• Put install.inf back in the installer (copy it back using F5).
  
• To do an unattended installation, just run the modified installer.
  
• If you are a registered user, copy the file wincmd.key in the installation folder.

If you have the key, copy it into the installer just as you did with install.inf and once again modify install.inf
to include the 2nd entry below

[Install]
1=install.cab,c
2=wincmd.key

Thanks for sending me searching in the right direction Avgasse!

7-zip 4.32 Per the FAQ...
use /S

so for me it is

7z432.exe /S

Thought I'd add this since I'm making a fresh disc, and 7-zip is at the top and is now wrong for the newst version.
Now just wish I could have a progress bar when installing silently.

I'm sure most people have figured this out, but I'm adding it anyways...

Windows Defender Beta 2 is install silently with

%Location%\WindowsDefender.msi /qn

Of course, you need a machine with a valid CDKey for it to install at all.. If the key is not valid it will not regurgitate an error.... It simply wont install....

@ECHO.

NOD32 Antivirus 2.5x

Unpack the original distribution. There's a file setup.exe there...

setup.exe /silentmode /cfg=myconfig.cfg /instmfc /noreboot

...where myconfig.cfg - is your config made with nod32's Configuration Editor

KAV 5 (Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0.xxx)

Dim WshShell, fso, objArgs, pf, aup, dir

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
On Error Resume Next

pf = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Programfiles%")
aup = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%AllUsersProfile%")
dir = fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)

WshShell.Run (dir & "\Personal.exe /S /D=" & pf & "\KAV"), 1, true

fso.DeleteFile(aup & "\Application Data\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal\5.0\Bases\*.*"), true
fso.CopyFolder dir & "\bases", aup & "\Application Data\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal\5.0\Bases"
fso.CopyFile dir & "\MYKEY.key", pf & "\KAV\MYKEY.key.yek"

Wscript.Quit

where MYKEY.key - is your LEGAL key for KAV5
