This package contains the normal as well as real media splitter, the Shell extension, as well as the MKVMerge muxer. Unfortunately i have not yet found a way to Make the shell extension completely silent. When you register the dll associated with it it brings up some setup diologues.


To install I used this batch file:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL

for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%i:

REM Create's Directories to be installed to
mkdir "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\"
mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\"
mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\Shell Extension\"

REM Installs the files required for Matroska Playback
"%cdrom%\$OEM$\Install\Matroska\MPlay.exe" -y -o"%ProgramFiles%\Matroska" -aot
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\MatroskaSplitter.ax"
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\RealMediaSplitter.ax"
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\VSFilter.dll"

REM Installs the files used for the Matroska Shell Extension
"%cdrom%\$OEM$\Install\Matroska\MShell.exe" -y -o"%ProgramFiles%\Matroska" -aot
regsvr32 /s "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\MatroskaProp.dll"
shortcut /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\Shell Extension\Choose Icon.lnk" /a:c /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\MatroskaProp_ChooseIcon.exe"
shortcut /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\Shell Extension\Configure.lnk" /a:c /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\MatroskaProp_Configure.exe" /i:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\matroskalogo_big.ico"
shortcut /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\Shell Extension\Check Usage.lnk" /a:c /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\CheckUsage.exe" /i:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\Checkusage.exe"

REM Installs the Program Used to mux matroska files
"%cdrom%\$OEM$\Install\Matroska\MKVMerge.exe" -y -o"%ProgramFiles%\Matroska" -aot
shortcut /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\MKV Info GUI.lnk" /a:c /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\mkvinfo.exe" /p:-g /i:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\Checkusage.exe"
shortcut /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\MKV Merge GUI.lnk" /a:c /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\MKVtoolnix\mmg.exe" /i:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\matroskalogo_big.ico"

REM Places the Uninstaller
shortcut /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\Uninstall All.lnk" /t:"%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\Uninstall.bat"

For this i have the files installed from the cd in the folder $OEM$\Install\Matroska\ i peronally placed a compiled uninstall.bat to uninstall.exe which i included with the plaback package.

The Uninstall.bat looks something like this:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL

REM Unregisters registerd files
REM These are for playback
regsvr32 /s /u "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\MatroskaSplitter.ax"
regsvr32 /s /u "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\RealMediaSplitter.ax"
regsvr32 /s /u "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\VSFilter.dll"
REM this is for the shell extension
regsvr32 /s /u "%ProgramFiles%\Matroska\MatroskaProp.dll"

REM Deletes All shortcuts
rd /S /Q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Matroska\"

REM Removes the directory
rd /S /Q "%PROGRAMFILES%\Matroska\"

As you can see there is one part that you would have to delete if you did not want the shell extension. Which i'd imagine a lot of you would not since it is not yet fully unattended.


MPlay.exe
MKVMerge.exe
MShell.exe
