Ok, I know perfect Disk 6 is mentioned around here but I only have version 5,

I tried installing it myself on Vm Machine, but it didnt install.

I found a readme.txt in the extracted setup.exe which explain unattended installs.

I have to use the msiexec syntax, can this be used with RunonceEx?

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Perfect Disk + Update" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\perfectdisk\perfectdisk.exe /s" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\perfectdisk\msiexec /i Perfectdisk.msi /q ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL="PDEngine,HelpFiles,GUI,DesktopIcon" INSTALL_DESKTOP_ICON=1" /f


Is this code alright? Never too sure on things when there are too many " lying about.

P.S Perfectdisk.exe is just a self extracting archieve.

I think this is correct:

REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 2 /D "msiexec /i %systemdrive%\install\Applications\perfectdisk\Perfectdisk.msi /q ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL=\"PDEngine,HelpFiles,GUI,DesktopIcon\" INSTALL_DESKTOP_ICON=1" /f

Heh yeah I heard about it...I'm going to see about talking to some of Apoxol's old mod dev team (Urban Terror by SID) and see if one of the guys will break me off a chunk of info. :)

Whoah.. You have a very long command.

Suggestion only: Why don't you compress your msi with winrar and add the switch/es to the comment?

Well I cant really see the advantage to that other than not having so much code in the command in runoncex.cmd - which I cant see as being a major problem.

but suggestions always welcome :thumbup

The only advantage I think is.. you don't need to add long commands in your runonce. So it will look better. :lol: :P And of course, your installer will become smaller.
