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.

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.

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

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

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.

This is interesting! Is it kinda illegal though in a way?

illegal - not if you own everything.

If you bought the software, it is just automatically/silently installing it.

If you are using illegally obtained software in the cd- then its bad.

ZoSTeR that script worked greated!!! thanks for your help.

[Brando569]

i have a slight (and wierd) problem with wget, when i execute it directly from the command line it works great, when i execute it from my start.bat batchfile it works and the download completes successfully but the file and log (yes i specified it to create a log) are nowhere to be found! whats even more odd is when i put the args for it to d/l the ref file in a batch file by itself it goes into an infinite loop for some odd reason. any suggestions on what might be causing this? ive tried downloading alternate versions but theres no configure.bat like it says there supposed to be so i cant compile it, ive also tryed to download the one called something like wget.1.9.s.complete and extracted it since it was already compiled and placed wget.exe and the 2 dll's in my c:\windows directory and it still does the same thing..... any suggestions on this? and BTW thanks alot and grate job to the ppl who made these scripts their wonderful! one more thing the version of sleep that is linked at the top for some reason didnt work for me cmd kept saying "unable to execute program" or something along those lines, this is where i found the one that worked for me http://www.computerhope.com/dutil.htm

*edit* one other thing i forgot when the batch file has executed all of the commands about 5 to 10 seconds later that javascript retypes my AdAware password and hits enter. is there anyway to stop this?

[WwTIPPYwW]

put your batch file in here for reference.....

Ad-Aware - MSI solution

The attached package (27 kb) should solve your problems, I hope. No need for JS. No need for sleep.exe. No Password Screen. You need only this line in your batch file:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\AdAware6\AdAware6.msi

Use the following switch to extract "Ad-aware.6.Pro.Built.181.exe":

C:\aaware\Ad-aware.6.Pro.Built.181.exe /x c:\aaware

It will ask for password. Yes! Type your pasword, then go to c:\aaware\ You should find these files over there. Put each file in the proper place inside the package as denoted between brackets. The last two files won't be put in your package, so delete them.

01- aawhelper.dll --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
02- Ad-aware.exe --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
03- Ad-watch.exe --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
04- alert.wav --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
05- default.det --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
06- description.ini --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
07- Deutsch.bmp --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Lang\
08- Deutsch.det --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Lang\
09- Deutsch.ini --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Lang\
10- English.bmp --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Lang\
11- English.det --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Lang\
12- English.ini --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Lang\
13- fhexdump.dll --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Plugins\
14- filespecs.dll --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Plugins\
15- manual.chm --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
16- plugdest.mp --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\Plugins\
17- reflist.ref --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
18- sites.txt --> Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\
* unregaaw.exe --> Don't put this file
* UnWise.exe --> Don't put this file

If you haven't got file number 16 (plugdest.mp) extracted, then create an empty text file and name it "plugdest.mp", and add it to your MSI.

Put your "prefs.ini" in (Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\). Clean your prefs.ini before adding it to the package, or download mine from Page 1.

If you have a recent "reflist.ref", then replace the extracted one.

You can uninstall the program from Control Panel as usual.

Good work, Brando569.

By the way, there are two other methods. One on page 2, provided by ZoSTeR, and one on this page.

So, users who complain about the JS file can switch to another method.

thanks mazin it took me a lil while to complete it even though its pretty much the same thing as yours I just added a few things (installing the plugins i found out theres no need for the setup files for it considering all it does is extract the DLLs and place them in the plugin directory and the thing that i like the most (besides the JS idea) is the autoupdate of the ref file each time you install windows) I decided to post this incase any1 needed help
