u can double click it and have it work IF u have the "mount" option as your FIRST entry via right click

& usually that means not having a program associated with .iso files (other then this method on first page)

[Coolsights2000]

I was over at the daemon site looking around and they have a tool but it only worked when daemon is loaded,,,

and I'm still trying to figure out howw to get it to silent install

hi.. whats the point? its still loading files (that in my opinion are unneeded) this method is an alternative 2 installing a program 2 do that 4 u

[cfeedback]

Has anything changed on this method (which I love btw, thanks!) with 3.47? I have 2 issues: first, when I run Daemonscript.msi with either the /qb or /qn switch fromt start.cmd it installs into C:, yet when I run it manually it installs into \Program Files\ as it should.

Second, my rundll32 line does all sorts of crazy stuff so I must be doing something wrong. It will usually load another installer than already ran from the start.cmd, such as my ATI Remote Wonder or Logitech Setpoint software. Thanks for any help!

hi..

the stuff works with the new version too.. there isnt anything new besides bug fixes in the new version i believe

can u post the daemontools.inf plz.. some ppl alter it, 2 cut out stuff they dont want.. so u could have done that & messed a line or something?

& im honestly not sure why daemonscript is doing that.. its something with the installer i believe.. u could try 4 now a temp solution 2 copy daemon script files 2 the appropriate directories

I thought it was the same as what you listed, but I could've made a mistake...thanks for the help!

BTW I didn't mention it, but it DOES end up working - I can right click to mount an image. I just don't know why it launches another installer!

[MCT]

yes, it looks like the exact same 1 as i have

but im not sure why your getting that error :S try this

ECHO.
ECHO Installing DaemonTools v3.47
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DaemonTools\DaemonTools.msi /qn REBOOT="ReallySuppress"
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DaemonTools\Daemonscript.msi /qb
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DaemonTools\DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DaemonTools\DT.exe

put this into an autoit script..

Run("rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\DaemonTools.inf")

& compile it & name it DT.exe thats the only other thing i can think of.. put it in same folder as DaemonTools.inf

& if u dont know how 2 do this.. download autoit , open notepad.. place the above command into it.. name it DT.au3 & compile that .au3 file using autoit compiler, u can right click & choose compile script

I cannot extract daemonscript.msi from the last version available on daemon tools. Any ideas how to get it?

[MCT]

it works fine here..

start the installer dont close the installer, goto run type %tmp% then get the msi file.. its not hard

[keul]

This may solve issues :

1- If daemonscript installs to C:\, change the installation command to :

start /wait .\Daemonscript.msi /qn TARGETDIR="%ProgramFiles%\D-Tools"

It will then install to Daemon Tools folder.

2- I don't know if it was mentionned before, but you may encounter an issue with DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript file (telling that parameters on line 2 are incorrect). You need to have a blank line after DeviceCount|1| (the script parser needs it). So if your script is

Version|1.5.4|2|
DeviceCount|1|

file length should be 34 bytes and not 32.

I hope this helps...

Thanks MCT, I don't know why I was looking for a file which gets deleted AFTER the install instead of looking for it during the process . Anyway, I tested my first unattended install last night and for a newbie I am very pleased.

Thanks again

For those of you that don't mind directly editing msi files, I posted a step by step on how I edited V3.47 here. It's the third and final entry on the page.

It supresses the reboot prompt, eliminates the desktop icon, and allows you to change the default directory.

[mrmr]

so, for the right click unmount should this be right inf file?

...and, the only use for DaemonScript.msi is to decide the number of Virtual Drive?
cannot be integrated in only deamontools.msi?

There a way to add shell extension from RunOnceEx.cmd?

mrmr

P.S.
There a greater list of "Image Type" that can be mounted? ...like .ngr and so on?

[atlas95]

Could you update first post please with optimisation?

Thanks

[atlas95]

How to change name of the virtual DVD Drive during install please?
I want to rename it to Virtual Drive instead of DVD Driver (I think in english)

Thanks

[MCT]

not sure, check a program like regsnap & save changes

also, what do u want optimized?

i didnt add an unmount option, cuz u can just use "Eject" works 4 me

The Created ISO image well have the same name as the folder and well be created at the same place as the folder, just like creating RAR archives with WinRAR .
I didn't need the bootable option, so i removed that, and added an option to not optimize the CD for faster ISO creation, the optimized ISO well end with ".o.iso".
Also added all of the file types DAEMON could mount and the Unmount option.

[MCT]

good idea i havent been workin on this/improving it, its good 2 see people still use it!

[mrmr]

there's a turnaroud to add mount command to right cliccking onto tha Virtual CD device in MyComputer that permit to select the image??
Like the script onto the DaemonTools site...awxDTools

mrmr

[MCT]

Just Incase anyone hasnt noticed, i updated the guide on the first page to include some ideas from hotdogee's aforementioned code
