[-= Mancubus =-]

Opera's registration info is stored in OUsr600.dat file, which is usually located in c:\Program Files\[Opera folder]\.

Spent some time to search the info in Google, didn't find it and found out with file-monitoring tool while registering.

Hello DarXyde,

it is all said best by the author of IrfanView himself in the FAQ-section of his page [here].

There are some otherwise undocumented switches for a silent installation of the main program and the plugins that work well.

Guess that helps you out ...

Bye

10x Opitius... but this not solve my problem... i know how to install it silent... i need a way to register it unattended, with a reg key or something like that...

Hello DarXyde,

what's the scope of registering IrfanView - it's freeware (for most purposes)?

[DarXyde]

Well... i like to work just with programs registered ... i never work with irfanview unregistered ... i think i will give up until i find a solution .. 10x again.. good point of view

[DarXyde]

If anyone intersted... i have found where irfan view is keeping registration info ... to simple to see it...

in main program folder usually "C:\Program Files\IrfanView" .. there is ini file "i_view32.ini" . you can find there your registration info... you can just copy this ini to your later irfan view folder keeping your settings and registration info... 10x for your help guys... and hope this topic will help other people like me ..

Besides, I've found a way to install Opera silently in a folder by your choise.

Well, maybe there's nothing special in it, but as I see, you install it in \Opera 8 beta, that is not very aesthetic, as for me

So, here's the way - create .reg file with the content like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Opera Software]
"Last Directory3"="C:\\Program Files\\Opera"
"Create Startmenu icons"="1"
"Create Desktop icon"="1"
"Create Quicklaunch icon"="1"
"Last Beta Directory"="C:\\Program Files\\Opera"

The parameters are self-describing

I import this file before installing Opera and voila! It installs in \Opera folder, not that foolish \Opera 8 beta or \Opera7.

I am using a batch file to add (append actually) registration details to i_view32.ini and it is giving me the following error when i test run it through Command Prompt

'Files' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The system cannot find the path specified.

Here is the code:-

@echo off
IF EXIST %ProgramFiles(X86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini GOTO x64
Goto x86

:x64
C:
cd\
cd "Program Files (x86)"
cd IrfanView
echo [Registration] >> i_view32.ini
echo Name=Slicer >> i_view32.ini
echo Code=312119004 >> i_view32.ini

:x86
C:
cd\
cd "Program Files"
cd IrfanView
echo [Registration] >> i_view32.ini
echo Name=Slicer >> i_view32.ini
echo Code=312119004 >> i_view32.ini

I tried the following too but didn't work

echo [Registration] >> %ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini
echo Name=Slicer >> %ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini
echo Code=312119004 >> %ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini

Please help

In every line that has - %ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini - change %ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini to "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini".

Cheers and Regards

took you advice and modified the batch code

@echo off
IF EXIST "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini" GOTO x64
Goto x86

:x64
echo [Registration] >>"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini"
echo Name=Slicer >>"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini"
echo Code=312119004 >>"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini"

:x86
echo [Registration] >>"%ProgramFiles%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini"
echo Name=Slicer >>"%ProgramFiles%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini"
echo Code=312119004 >>"%ProgramFiles%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini"

Error:-

The system cannot find the path specified.

however when i manually type each command (echo [Registration] >>"%ProgramFiles%\IrfanView\i_view32.ini" ...) separately in Command Prompt they work
