bombtrack - thanks - it worked....

I left the updater from the original instruction in there, since an internet connection might not be available at install. (I assume an error will occur in your steps).

Now - if I could get NAV2004 to update too...

How many times have you tried bombtrack's way of getting the updated file "reflist.ref"?

I've found a way for connecting to the Internet while in unattended mode of Windows installation. I'm still testing it, but it may work.

So, if you repeated bombtrack's way more than once with no errors, please let me know.

I tried your way of Wget and I got this:

It was amazing as you can see!

But when I tried it again, it didn't work. Do you have suggestions?

Thanks.

i've tried it a couple times - seems to be fine. maybe I'm missing any errors.

or the point that I do it - the NIC is already loaded and at times yours isn't?

Seems to work.

i put this in my .bat file, when i execute it i get the following error message:

Script: C:\adaware.js
Line: 13
Char: 1
Error: The system cannot find the file specified.

Code: 80070002
Source: WshShell.Exec

i used the code you had on the previous page to make the .js file, i copied and pasted the contents and replace the *** with my password and saved it in notepad to adaware.js.

why does the error messange say c:\adaware.js not found, shouldnt it be c:\install\adaware.js ?

[hajj_3]

i managed to get this to work by changing:

Start %systemdrive%\adaware.js

to

Start %systemdrive%\Install\AAwP6181\adaware.js

as the adaware.js file isnt on the root drive its in c:\install\AAwP6181\

note i am running this from my harddrive, will they work once its on the cd ?

[mazin]

Have you renamed the program to AdAware.exe and put it in C:\ ?

[hajj_3]

i have renamed it, but havent put it in the c:\ due to it will go in the install directory like all of the other programs.

[mazin]

For you convenience, if you put those two files in a place other than C:\, the JS won't work.

I mean the ROOT, i.e., C:\ or D:\ or whatever.

Here's a script for creating a setup with Inno Setup.

Install Inno Setup.
Install Ad-aware.
Install the latest Ad-Aware ref-file. (optional)
Put the script (ad_aware.iss) into your Ad-aware program folder.
Compile the script. (Double click the ad_aware.iss file , then select Build->Compile)
You now have a setup.exe in the output folder.

You can install it with /VERYSILENT

Ad-aware doesn't write anything into the registry so it's quite straight forward.

I'm going to check it soon.

[holyone]

When i try to install the Ad-Aware with the instructions of mazin...
And i geting:
Windows XP setup: "Please go the Control Panel to install and configure system components"
.....
What may be the problem?

I have just tried it and finally a proper install without the password box.
Great job in letting us know about this way of installing it.

[mazin]

Yes, it's a great job made by ZoSteR.

I guess WwTIPPYwW is right. I haven't had such a message before.

[WwTIPPYwW]

Here is mine - it works perfectly. I got a lot of help with this from users in this forum/thread. So when I say "mine" - I mean what I use, not what I made.

UPDATE I added the -t1 to the WGET line to make it only retry once- otherwise it never stops trying, and that could be a problem if you don't have Internet working at this point.

NOTE - this is for installing the software from the CD, and not copying it over to the hard drive first. Use what you can out of it...

WwTIPPYwW showed you his stuff clearly.

If you still have problems after you try WwTIPPYwW's help, you may need to re-read the first post carefully. Perhaps, something is missing from you.

I'm new at this unattended windows. So what is it about?
