[Astalavista]

first... i did a search and could not find any ref. 2 silent install.
Question 1: what is the runonceEx.cmd code for installing FlashGet 1.65 Silently.
Question 2: if i had a serial no how do i register that. Is it a registry entry or can i enter the serial similar to that of Nero

Thanks

[1chaoticadult]

REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "FlashGet v1.65" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\APPS\fgf165.exe /S" /f

;FlashGet Registration
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JetCar\JetCar\General]
"RegName"="email address here"
"RegPass"="serial number here"
"RegDisp"="name here"

[sleepnmojo]

1) fgf15.exe /s
2) registry key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General]
"RegName"="email"
"RegPass"="key"
"RegDisp"="name"

Please help me.
I am using RunOnceEx method with RunOnceEx.cmg Creator.
After reading the guide, I can understand the command to install flashget silently.
But I can't understand the code for flashget registration.
Where do I insert it on RunOnceEx.cmg Creator?
(This may be very simple, but for me is just like reading a strange language that started learning yesterday).

I have a second question:
Can I choose the directory where I want to install the program, or do I have to stick to default?

Thank you for your patience.

Sure - just read: http://unattended.msfn.org/

S0mE0nesMiNd1, please understand and respect my difficulty.
Of course I read the guide.
It was in there that I learned everything I tried untill now.
But, see:
- The guide is not complete in the application database http://unattended.ms...bal/notcomp.htm
I followed the guide and choosed the RunOnceEx option because I understood that most people enjoy this method.
In that chapter, the guide or it's exemples don't show anything similar to this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General]
"RegName"="email"
"RegPass"="key"
"RegDisp"="name"

All RunOnceEx code seems like this: http://unattended.msfn.org/global/examples.htm

REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "FlashGet v1.65" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\APPS\fgf165.exe /S" /f

In the guide's exemple of a RunOnceEx.cmg I see:

Quote

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Flashget 1.4" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\flashget\fgf140.exe /S" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\apps\flashget\register.reg" /f

But what is that register.reg? How do I do it?
I have no knowledge about programing.
That is why I have difficulties I can't solve without your help.
Thank you

[S0mE0nesMiNd1]

This isnt programming though. An example of a ".reg" file is at the bottom of this page: http://unattended.ms...diate/users.htm

[JohnS]

Just to see if I understand.
I have to past

Quote

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General]"RegName"="email"
"RegPass"="key"
"RegDisp"="name"

into notepad, name it register.reg and place it in the same place as the installation file?
An then add this code:

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\apps\flashget\register.reg" /f

?

[S0mE0nesMiNd1]

You got it

[JohnS]

Thank you very much

Just one more question (another newbie question, I am sure )
Can I choose the directory where to install Flashget, instead of the default?

[Astalavista]

WHATZ up!

hello... Welcome to MSFN

@ JohnS

let me give u a little advice ok.

1st when your starting out playing with U.A. CD/DVD It nice and dandy
to use Nlite and RunOnceEx.cmg Creator or similar etc.

It makes things Easier by leaps and bounds. But in the end YOU
wont know as much. I am all of products to help make life easier
i.e. Mike Wilson's registry maker. "BUT" you have got to learn the basics.
Otherwise, when you start to move on to different applications you will
run into the same problems.

The best advice i can give you is learn the basics at http://unattended.msfn.org

It isn't finished yet, and never will bec., we have newer and newer
applications and coding coming out each day. We got some really
Intelligent people cooking up different ways to do things Better and Faster.

Just remember a large number of programs USE registry entries
to STORE registration info. Not all but most.

So what are you going to do about it?

1. You will need to download a program called RegSNAP google for it.
of something similar.
2. Using RegSnap or Something Similar. You can 'Compare" changes
to the registry. i.e. Before and After. So you can tell what is happening
before and after your Software is installed.
3. Most guides WILL point you in the right direction.
As an Example my guide tells u the registry LOCATION of the Registration KEY.

Welcome My Friend to MSFN! PEACE

Use the FREAKING search! It is your Friend

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. if you want to change the location of the Directory of FlashGET
you will need to use a program CALLED autoit.
Sometimes, a program will have special Switches to help you move
the installation somewhere else, But Flashget doesn't have one.
So your alternative is AutoIT. Which is a programming language unto itself.
Where do u want to put Flashget? d:\ drive?

[JohnS]

I see what you mean, Astalavista.
I'll just have to go slowly.
About Flashget, I just wanted to place it in c:\Program Files\Net\Flashget, instead of c:\Program Files\Flashget

[JohnS]

Well, after trying for more than 5 times to import flashget to registy without success - luckly the guide teatches how to use Virtual PC - and after double checking the data, I remembered to double click the register.reg file after Windows beeing installed.
As far as I know it should import the data, should't it.
I even opened regedit and imported the register.reg file directly.
But it is giving me this error:
After asking if I want to add register.reg to the registy and me saying yes, it says it is impossible to import because the specified file is not a registry script.
It also says that one can only binary registy files from the registry editor.
(I don't post the real message because my OS is not in english).
What am I doing wrong?
I just created a file like

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JetCar\JetCar\General]
"RegName"="email"
"RegPass"="key"
"RegDisp"="name"

If thats is all that is in your file it won't work, you need to add this to the top of the file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Thank you, it was so simple .
As I just copied and pasted the info in this thread, I would never guess what was wrong
