Guide For |Trial and Retail Version|

(how to use Winrar sfx) click here

Credit goes to agiha who came up with the initial solution on how to make Power DVD 6 install silently for the Trial version

agiha solution:
a.) install powerdvd6 trial
b.) enter your PowerDVD Key (powerdvd will shut down)
c.) enter all your other keys for plugins (each time u add a plugin key PowerDVD will shut down)

now go to C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD

capture 2 files

mce_sym.reg
powerdvd.sim


Here is the code for those that don't have a mce_sym.reg (note i remove my serial)

REGEDIT4

1. Extract the PowerDVD Retail version exe file to a folder called PowerDVD6.
2. From within the extracted folder PowerDVD6, Run Setup.exe with -R switch.
3. Complete the entire installation.
3. Retrieve setup.iss file from the Windows directory and copy it to the PowerDVD6 folder. Or download the one at the bottom of this post.
4. Copy the 'Custom.ini, MCE_SYM.reg, PowerDVD.sim' files provided by you to the PowerDVD6 folder overwriting the existing files.
4. Repack the PowerDVD6 folder using WinRAR SFX with the following settings:


But when u create your sfx add this to your sfx comment

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=setup.exe -s
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
Title=Cyberlink PowerDVD DLX 6.0.1102

you will notice there is a "-s" at the end of setup

my little contribution

getting rid of registration pop up when u first run powerdvd6

del "%systemdrive%\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\OLRSubmission\OLRSubmission.exe"
del "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\CyberLink PowerDVD\On-Line Registration.lnk"

add the code above to your cleanup.cmd


if u did everything correctly you should see this image when u first run PowerDVD

you should have 15 plugins all together, if u entered all the plugin keys.
if you are missing one you missed one key or your key is invalid.

mp3AVIdefault.reg below will force mp3 to be played by Winamp and force AVI to be played by PowerDVD (divx)
u should put this registry tweak at the very end of your batch file or runonceEx.cmd

mp3AVIdefault.reg

My installation of PowerDVD works fine. The only irritating thing is that the program at the start wants to connect to the Internet. If no connection is available, within a few seconds it continues normally.

the setup.iss is for sample use only.

if u open setup.iss with notepad. u will noticed that i edited the serial number.

pls edit it to your own serial.

Thank you.

I've done every thing in this guide for the retail silent install. Silent install goes great but it still asks me for my key. I have attached the files that are edited within the setup procedure. Thanks for any help in advance.

UPDATE: Problem solved turns out the code above for the MCE_SYM.reg has REGEDIT4 and i needed Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Attached File(s)

•  MCE_SYM.reg (1.07K)
  Number of downloads: 463
•  Custom.ini (744bytes)
  Number of downloads: 426
•  Setup.ini (97bytes)
  Number of downloads: 380

Yes, i did.

[BoardBabe]

Sure the only way to get rid of registration pop-up is to delete that exe file? Seems kinda harsh. Are there no reg "tweak"?

[BoardBabe]

Actually Power DVD6 makes my WMP10 crash when playing .wmv files even with XPize uninstalled! (.mp3's are fine).

Any idea?

[BoardBabe]

Doun the bug. I had installed klite codec pack. Remove all the CyberLink decoders from klite codec pack and its ok.

How to install de PowerDVD6_Patch_2003e.exe patch silent.

[Zxian]

@Gerrit.B - Click Here

[BoardBabe]

Why is that not allowed to ask?

The patch is an "update", install it the same way as main application, modify ini.

[carter8189]

i'm sorry but after i repack all and i have the "new" exe file, where do i have to put it? which command do i have to use in application.bat? /S? thanks

[Jeroeneke]

Is there a way to add the keys to upgrade PowerDVD with for example the Advance Audio Pack ?

For the rest Everything works (main key etc.)

thx

[AndeeOPT]

Will these guides work for a OEM version of PowerDVD 6 as well?

I've tried using registry keys to insert the CD-Key but it doesn't work.

I install PDVD silently, simply by editing the custom.ini with silent=1. Then all I have to do is run setup.exe and the install runs silently.

But I am having difficulty inserting the key.

[cyberloner]

Edit your MCE_SYM.reg file...insert the serial there....


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CyberLink\PowerDVD]

"CDKey"="aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee-fffff"

cyber - I edited the mce_sym.reg file and then installed PDVD6 but when I run it it still prompts for cdkey. I checked the registry and there are references with my cdkey.

Is there anything else I have to do other then the mce_sym.reg file edit?

[cyberloner]

check out the 1st page....of this post.... maybe needed some other registry for u........
dun forget about powerdvd.sim after u register it .... u need to copy the powerdvd.sim into your installation folder.......
