silent install + reconfiguration to use ZIP as a default (in context menu),

if anyone want to use this, here it is:

start /wait Bin\WinRAR\wrar340.exe /s

Removed by admin. Use file attachment for such a long file.

That's cool... seems like a lot to do just that, but very cool. Do you know if there would be any way to have both of these on the context menu for WinRAR:
add to <archive>.zip
add to <archive>.rar

The goal as far as I'm concerned to be able to quickly and conviently use zip and rar formats while only installing WinRAR instead of WinRAR and WinZip.

This reminds me of the part in scary movie where the guy busts out a weed trimmer, to trim something. Trim that thing down man. All that profile crap can go.

Shrink it down by combining common keys too.

 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\General]
"LimitLog"=dword:00000000
 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\General]
"Log"=dword:00000000

becomes

 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinRAR\General]
"LimitLog"=dword:00000000
"Log"=dword:00000000

Personally I prefer using InstallShield Repackager to make everything in an MSI file. With WinRAR I ended up having to use the single step snapshot method, but it works great. All my settings preconfigured and I nuked all the extraneous txt files too. Plus it puts the shortcut just where I want it.

That whole thing became these 3 lines?!?!?


Q - anyone know about the above Q about making the Context menu say .rar and .zip? I like that idea....

[swampy]

If you choose "add to archive" instaed of "add to filename.rar" in the context menu, you are one click away from a zip file instead of rar.

[smknight]

swampy, you are right of course, but I'd still be interested in having add to <archive>.zip and add to <archive>.rar to save that extra couple clicks if possible.

A big part of unattended installs is about saving clicks.

[buletov]

well, regsnap made that reg file, and i have better things to do that
removing a bunch of lines that can and don't have to be removed

possible, but not in winrar options...
the context menu type of archive depends on default in winrar settings

i have the coorporate version email me at 19_shadow@gmx.net i use only

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Winrar 3.40 FINAL" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WinRar\Winrar3.40.exe /s /W" /f

i was wondering why you (or somebody) didn't delete his post...

[--=ddSHADOW=--]

i just sayed coorporate version because i have unlock the deafult rar setup file and just put my original version of winrar licence file. I dont support warez i use only original programs like burstcopy i have original licence i have translated the program so i'll get original program. Soory for misunderstanding. I just wanted to share that unlocked winrar setup file.

[buletov]

well there isn't much use of that...

Making a guide how to do it would probably have been the best thing to say in this situation, not throw up your email address.

If someone is interested, I can post it, but I didn't think there was that much interest in it since it is pretty basic.

@sleepnmojo
Do go ahead and post a guide for this. 'Coz doing the archive-modifying to include license file for me (back in the days of v3.20) was not successful. It'd be nice to see how someone who got it working has done it.

[RogueSpear]

I don't want to sound evangelical about repacking to MSI files, but this is what I did in order to make an unattended install that sets all the settings, makes the shortcut where I want it, and places my reg key for me.

If you want I could send you an archive of my repackager archive without my license key. All you would have to do is plop yours in and build (provided you have access to Installshield Repackager).

Since WinRAR makes its installer based off its own product, you will need WinRAR.

• Download WinRAR
  
• Extract wrar340.exe using WinRAR to C:\winrar
  
• Add RarReg.key to C:\winrar
  
  Now you need to make the installer
  
  
• Open up WinRAR, and in the address bar put C:\winrar
  
• Select all the files.
  
• Hit the add button. This should bring up a dialog about making a new archive. Use the following options.

• Hit Ok.

Your file should be in the c:\winrar folder.

[--=ddSHADOW=--]

hehe you was faster then me , thats the way. But it is not necessarily to lock the archiv.
Then you use

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Winrar 3.40 FINAL" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\WinRar\Winrar3.40.exe /s /W" /f

to install silent

For lazy people use the file attachted and just add the files from winrar folder

Rename the fille to .exe
