How do you silently install Alchol 120% build 2722?

It'll probably be the same as build 1705 but i'd like to refresh it all, and see if any new ideas have come up. So go ahead, how do you install it without the new hardware problem.

%systemdrive%\install\alcohol120\setup.exe /qn reboot=ReallySuppress driver0=a347bus driver1=a347scsi

thats my way to install it silently :-)

[Marnic-Man]

does that stop the annoying add new hardware thing coming up?

Hi
I use the same command,but if i install silently alcohol with B2722 and i want to install DAEMON tools after,then i get an "driver error used".cause they both use the 347 driver actually alcohol120 uses A347 and Daemontools D347.
Can i use another port driver??

Another question i cant register Alcohol correctly iam I doing something wrong,this is my register.reg file.


REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120%\Info]

and my setup.ini

Pleas Bluemax give me a hint or someone else.

Yes, where is says driver0=a347bus for alcohol, you can make it say any number, make it something like drver0=a348bus and same for scsi... That should work.

Hi,
yes the name of the driver kann completely changed to your needs :-)
I never got the driver installation popup screen :/

My setup.ini is the same like yours, only my register.reg is much bigger because its imports also some settings. i've attached it, so you can try if it suite your needs.

and you run this before install ??

I have Alcohol 1.9.2.1705 silently installed with only /qn /norestart switches and I have never had a new hardware error.

[MageJubi]

Never had a problem or got error messages with 1.9.2.1705 (using the /qn switch)...But I do have a problem with version 1.9.5.2802. It's online activated-- Here we go again.... Anyone know where that little bit of info is hidden? ( It installs with the same switch, only the "username" in the reg. uses your email address instead of just your name)--looks like it utilizes hash #'s like XP's activation, so perhaps there's a file like wpa.dbl stashed somewhere. I got tired of looking-- maybe someone already knows??

[MageJubi]

It irritates me to look for something, ask about it, then find it while looking for something else. There are software entries in HKCU and HKU called StarSynergy that has the info.

[YBova]

2722 is very buggy and also needs online activation.
As 2722 was the first jump to dvd9 support, I'd wait a while before expecting a bug free application.

[muiz]

install using this :

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Alcohol120\setup.msi /qn reboot=ReallySuppress driver0=a347bus driver1=a347scsi

Install alcohol in a running windows set it up the way u want, i prefer to set virtual devices to none.
Export all your reg files alcohol has made.
And use those in your unattended

[implodium]

I too managed to get Alcohol working, but there's one other problem.

I install Alcohol at T-13 stage, but it's entry in add/remove programs is BLANK.
I even tried without any silent switches (ie normal setup with GUI) and still no
luck.

I even tried to re-install Alcohol after windows was installed, but all i got was
icon, product name is still missing (it must be my setup, i just can't figure out
HOW it messes up my install).

I want to fix this issue before it gets worse.

NOTE : all other msi-based setups (like acro reader 6 and alanoll's winamp)
install fine.

If needed, i'll post my winnt.sif.

If ANYONE had their Alcohol 120% installed normally during T-13 sequence,
PLEASE report with as many details as possible !

I urge everyone to answer, even with negative answers.

[Mr. Danny]

Sorry to dredge up old topics, but I don't understand half of what yall are saying.
I am new to this website, and i dont know a whole lot about computers.
I dont know if this has been answered yet, but is it possible to install the trial twice? I just need it for a liiiittle longer. If anyone could help a poor newbie, i would be very happy.

[monisriz]

im having the same problem with alcohol's installation...a "new hardware" window pops up during runonceex..
solution #1 (confirmed but not professional) is to just ignore it..dont bother abt it..dont do anything to it..it will disappear by itself after 10-20 seconds..
another solution which maybe possible is to copy off the two files (a347scsi and a347bus) to ur $oem$/$$/system32 on ur UA cd..and *hope* that alcohol will find those two buggers in the system32 dir during installation..im doing that with my current cd..and test it 2mro...
i tried using the above mentioned "driver0=a347 blablabla" but the window popped up still..
im still trying to find a proper way to install these drivers..
one question though..is this problem only occuring to those who use nlite? i used nlite and had alot of problems with compatibility issues..this time im going nlite-less (disc space not an issue)..so lets see...
any suggestions wud be really appreciated since this thing is messing up an otherwise really awesome progress..

Umm ... Yes, but that's just not the "neat solution", i agree.
However :

1. install alcohol during t-13 sequence (not 100% working on my machine because
of the dreaded add/remove problem , but you should try anyway !).
btw : as a side-effect, you'll have one reboot less to do after install

2. make vb script with sendkeys command (search for example script for BSPlayer
registration, very neat idea). i've seen couple of oem app setups do a
kill-the-unsigned-driver-warning-window (example : sweex webcam).

3. try to find registry tweak that shortens (or completely disables) driver install
dialog box (i'm sure there's one, i've seen hundreds for just about everything).
this tweak should be implemented at t-13 sequence (it will most likely kick-in
after reboot).
NOTE WELL : since you'll install alcohol during runonceex sequence, after
the install completes, re-enable the tweak immediately and allow reboot. this
additional reboot should (as the previous one, when disabling driver dialog box),
kick-in the REGISTRY tweak again.

I hope i haven't overdone it.

That may be enough, though it wouldn't surprise me if window pops up again.
Try to find on the net where windows stores info on available drivers. There must
beone (example : install location of msi setup in hklm\software\uninstall
subkey).

I doubt it.

I did use nlite to save space, but it's primary benefit is automated integration
of RyanVM's pack.

I know what you mean ...

[Mr. Danny]

ummm...if that was directed towards my question, could you dumb it down a little for me. Like alot. Put it in the tongue of the n00bs.
