Someone had posted on this forum a way to semi-silently install this app using the following method:

SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr  REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"

You can add to this the ADDLOCAL property, which allows you to control which modules get installed. The following modules are available:

ECDC6
CreatorApps
DragToDisc
LabelCreator
RoxioPlayer
SuperNova
PMStudio
DskTopIcon
PMStudioVCD
PMStudioDVD

I'm not sure what each module is for at this time, although some are obvious by their name. Personally, I leave out the 'supernova' module, which is their ripping and media management tool, because if you use this, it takes control of all the wav and other media files on you PC. I also drop the dsktopicon and lablecreator, since I don't have a printer!

Here's my setup command:

SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,DragToDisc,PMStudio,PMStudioVCD,PMStudioDVD REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"

stupid q:

i have the cd in my cd-rom drive, and i see a large list of files, including:
Autorun.inf,Data.Cab,ECDC6.msi,Install.exe,Install.ini,instmsia.exe,instmsiw.exe,setup.exe,setup.ini

and folders:
Utility, Redist,Readme, Partners

Do I need to copy ALL these to a folder on my harddrive to be able to use it on my unattended CD?

I have a PowerDVD suite which also installs a suite of applications and would like to limit what it installs. How did you find the values for the EZ CD Creator for ADDLOCAL?

You open up the MSI and look at the feature table.

awesome work jjn1056, thkz for the info.

I was able to unattendedly install only the base eccd app and the dragtodisc feature!

I just created an install.bat with the following:

e:\SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,DragToDisc REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"

worked like a charm. now to place it in the CD!!!

Shoot, it's an installshield program. Any program to modify that?

You're not modifying the setup.exe, edit the .MSI file. Any MSI editor can do that, Installshield, Wise, Orca, etc. It doesn't matter if it was created with Installshield or not.

Orca is free, and should work fine. WinInstallLE is another free one, but I haven't used it. Or try a eval version of Wise or Installshield. All you are doing is checking the names on the feature table.

I know, there is no .MSI file

How do you silently install all three Easy CD Creator 6 updates? I'm having problems doing it.

[a06lp]

I need help with Easy CD Creator 6. When I'm installing it with WPI, it will get to about half way done, and another application will start installing. Sometimes it won't let the next applicaiton install because Easy CD Creator isn't finished. Is there a way I could make ECDC 6 finish installing before the next application starts?

I'm using the following code:

%systemdrive%\install\Applications\easycd6\SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"

I am thinking that using ECDC6.msi would be easier for me. But if I use the ECDC6.msi, can I still specify which parts to install? (Like the ADDLOCAL key above?)

[a06lp]

bump

anyone know the answer to my question in the previous post?

Yes, you can use the MSI.

Everything in your commandline after the /v is a MSI switch anyway.


/qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S

[a06lp]

so, would this be correct?

%systemdrive%\install\Applications\easycd6\ECDC6.msi /qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S

and do you think this would solve my problem with the program installations overlapping?

[troycicle]

I had the same problem you're having. I just wrote a script to sleep for a while. When I tried to use ECDC 6 in VMware, it didn't work.

Are you using start /wait in your command line?

For example:
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\easycd6\ECDC6.msi /qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps,PMStudio REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S

Other than that, I don't know what would be causing them to overlap.

[a06lp]

the MSI method works.

i think the reason it wasnt working before is because setup.exe would finish, and load the msi, so when setup.exe finished, the next program would start. but now, using just the msi, it waits.

thanks!

Easy CD Creator gets installed, but I can't use Creator Classic. Disc copier is the only application that works. I'm installing it with this command:

ECDC6.msi /qr ADDLOCAL=ECDC6,CreatorApps REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S

I'm thinking I have to put in the serial number information in the registry. Or maybe I have to install something else that Creator Classic needs to work. Does anyone know the answer?

[army20]

How you do for the serial number ?

[IcemanND]

Installing Roxio 6 updates:

Engine_v6.2.0.134.exe ECDC_SILENT
Audio_v1.1.0.277.exe AC_SILENT
Creator_v6.2.0.111.exe ECDC_SILENT
Drgdsc_v6.2.0.110.exe D2D_SILENT
du20041203.exe ECDC_SILENT
Dvd_v1.2.0.111.exe DVD_SILENT
Label_v6.2.0.110.exe LC_SILENT

To get this information run the desired update, do not install just run it, go to 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP' or your corresponding temp folder, a directory is created 'tmpxx', where xx is a random number, inside is a single file named 'COPYFILE.INF'.

Open this file and you will find a section header corresponding to what is being updated i.e. [ECDC folowing by os specific sections, use this first section header and add _SILENT to it for your switch.
