the file in the archive is an ISM file and when i changed the extension to MSI it gave me all these crazy characters

Did you happen to notice how that RAR with the ISM in it is just under 150KB? Perhaps the ISM is the original file that i used to CREATE the MSI using InstallShield 11.5. I uploaded it incase someone wanted to use it.


As for 5.23 MSI, I get to it. But my laptop is currently out of commission with a busted LCD.

Not to be rude...but...

EXCELLENT! JUST WHAT I WANTED! I came to a thread looking for a MSI and get directed to an AutoIT script that has EVEN LESS functionality then what I see here.


Sure it's a work around till i get time, but still....i HATE it when people hijack threads for their own. (You did write the script)

[--=ddSHADOW=--]

i dont hijack threads just another way with autoit and yes i did write the script and i used some same names for definitions like u use so people will have it easy to use. Maybe ppl wont bug u for the new version next day when 5.24+ come out they will just use the script if they really need the latest version of winamp.

Sry for trouble i can delete the script if u dont like it.

Leave the script. I don't mind the script. I just mind it when everytime there's a new version people feel the need to tell me. Then, everytime a new script is made they post in THIS thread....a thread about an MSI. If people weren't happy with the MSI, they could do a search for Winamp and come up with atleast 4 other ways to do this...including another MSI.

Euhm: @ Alanoll don't get me wrong, but is it difficult to make such an msi file? Perhaps you can show how you did it. Perhaps asking you this is stupid, or perhaps there is a thread which explains how to do this. Yup am still a noob, but I prefer not to use Autoit scripts, coz on some machines it works and suddenly it doesn't work.

Perhaps you can explain how you do this magic work of creating msi files and then we can get on with our lives.

Anyway: A big thanks for the previous version 5.21.

apparently, by providing the ISM file so OTHERS could update the MSI, has failed.

people have tried to RENAME the file to a MSI and get upset when it doesn't work.


ISM is the Installshield project file for the MSI. The new Winamp versions from5.21 - 5.24 are practically the same, just updated files. Someone could verywell have taken the initiative to update the files themselves and release it.

For those wanting to know how I created the MSI, look at the ISM. It's pretty straight forward. You shouldn't have to update any scripts, just add in new properties if you add a new component and new compoents for files. It's REALLY simple.

As for getting the files, all I did was log the installation and copied the files over. Use whatever tool you wish, the end result should be similar

@Alanoll, tell me if this is right...

XREGAUD seems to be currently defaulting to a value of 1
XTINYFULL doesn't seem to function at all

My full install string is this:

MSIEXEC /i "Winamp_v5.24.msi" /qb! XName="Current User" XKey="###KEY####" XDesktop=0 XQuicklaunch=1 XInet=0 XSepProfiles=0 XLibrary=1 XHotkey=1 XModernSkin=1 XAudio=1 XVideo=1 Xavs=1 Xextra=1 XAudioCD=1 XRegAud=0 XRegPLS=1

Update...

It seems that XREGVID is defaulted to on as well or at least partially and XREGAUD leaves out some files.

With XREGVID=0 and XREGAUD=0 Winamp still owns MP3, MP2, MP1 & AAC

is this project dead now?

i think so... Too bad cause i really liked this .msi approach

[Shark007]

EDIT:
after a full week posting without a single response i have removed the MSI i produced due to lack of support/interest in continuing this project. Also note, i have no intention of producing this msi for only 1 or 2 people.

Hi folks.
I have just finished creating a silent/unattended/normal installer for Winamp.
It's not like the Alanoll's MSI versions: you won't be able to select what to install or not. I did make a selection: Winamp Agent, Dashboard, "Now Playing", Predixis MagicMusic, ShoutcastWire, eMusic will not be installed.
Instead, a few plugins (4) will be: Winamp Essentials, Dynamic Library, Time restore/Autoplay, SingleClick'n'Play have been included.
Also 6 design skins (not just a bunch of skins!) have been included.
It installs in just One click or with a switch it will be silent. With a second switch the silent install won't even show a progressbar.
The installer will work at any time in the Windows Setup stage, so also T13 (like Alanoll's).

I actually created this for my girlfriend who's not in the country for a while. But since many people want an installer for Winamp I will release it on MSFN. It will be online 2night.

Ok I've released it: http://www.msfn.org/...showtopic=87690
and the website (not finished): http://dvd.yardcure....easyinstallers/
