Bruce Darby Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) After digging through numerous posts here and not finding a lot of anything that helped me make a 'simple' silent installation of Winzip 12.0, I did some footwork of my own and came up with this method of creating a silent installation of Winzip. Sure hope it helps others.Unzip the Setup.exe to your $oem\apps\winzip folder. I used WinRAR to do thisDelete all files other than the winzip120.msi fileDownload and install the Orca MSI editor. It's a free downloadRight-click on the winzip120.msi file and select Edit with OrcaSelect the PROPERTY table from the table listEdit the file as you desire using the instructions found here.. http://www.winzip.com/xmsicust.htm#customSave the file and close OrcaOpen Notepad and enter the following three lines... [Registration] WinZip120_Name=<Your registration username from Winzip> WinZip120_Code=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX <Your registration code from Winzip>Save the file as WINZIP.SUREG. Place this file into your $oem$\apps\winzip folder with the winzip120.msi fileOpen your RegOnceEx.cmd file and add these three lines... REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Winzip" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "msiexec /i %PP%\winzip\winzip120.msi /qn" /f REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 2 /D "cmd.exe /c Copy %PP%\winzip\winzip.sureg \"%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Winzip\winzip.sureg\"" /fThere is no need to install Winzip first and the first time you open Winzip, no registration screen to prevent you from going right to work. Also, the %pp% variable is simply designed to allow for a shorter command line. It points to the CD-ROM\$oem$\apps folder.
