@rikgale:
Thanks for that, and sorry for the inconvenience. I'll wait to put the link on the main page, to see if you get the bonjour-stop script working.

@evilvoice:
i'll upload the QT-English-only version now then, no probs. Regarding the bonjour service, there is nowhere I can find in the msi that registers the service. I suspect that it is done by a custom action that calls one of their custom dll's, or is done by the compiled installshield script. This new version breaks the inx decompiler that I used to use, so cant edit that . I posted the code above to disable it in a batch though, so once rikgale has put that into a silent installer it will do the job.

@seapagan

So you gonna post link to both of the files on the main page?
My first test failed, but I am testing again atm, forgot to tell XCOPY if it was mention to be copying a file or a directory and because I am using cmdnow I never noticed, so spent trying to figure out why the install had stopped. It turned out that in a window that was hidden it was asking me a question that I could not answer. Should know if it worked in about 15 mins

[evilvoice]

I found bonjour and gearsecurity services in winstallle...gonna see if I can perfrom a basic edit and the msi still work. In winstallle its under services and both are set to autostart...if it does work, ill send the msi to someone to host...putting it to theonly other option sets it to manual

EDIT: ok, that worked. so if anyone wants it, I can 7zip and send.

@evilvoice:
You are very correct! In the raw msi, it is in the 'ServiceInstall' table - dont know how I could have missed that, doh! I think I can modify that to make it disabled, hunting google now. Thanks for the heads-up . Some people may need this service, so will keep the original installed, but probably post a transform to change it. Need to test for a while in a VM first. Did you modify my version, or the original?

@rikgale:
yeah, I can post both the iTunes and QT localized files on the main page.

Edit : QT7 (English Only) link put on main page

i changed yours...since im gonna be using your msi...winstallle has an option to copy package, so i do that so that I have one edited version and one unedited (yours).

EDIT: Got QT7 (your version) down to 8.91MB

@evilvoice:
gak! How you do that! Nice work

I have also worked out how to set the service to install as disabled, not manual, will post a transform file for the installer.
If you want to change yours, if WinstallLE offers a table editing facility :

In the 'ServiceInstall' table, for the 'Bonjour Service' set start to '4'
in the 'ServiceControl' table, for the 'Bonjour Service' set Event to '162'

good work!

I extract the files from the msi then 7zip it up...cant be done with itunes...but QT allows it...winstallle has an option to expand the package, and i end up with a program files and system32 dir and a 3mb msi...take that and package it with the excess files and you can get it down to 8.91mb...i dunno why but you can achieve a smaller size with an extracted msi.

[seapagan]

@evilvoice:
Good going. That is probably because 7z cannot really compress another compressed file (ie the internal cab). When you extract the files, it can then properly compress them. I tried this with iTunes too, and got the same problems you had, so didn't bother for QT. Guess I was wrong! lol. If you want to post that on rapidshare or whereever, I'll change the link on the first page.
Thanks!

i gotta goto bed...but will post as soon as I wake up

[seapagan]

@evilvoice:
OK, sleep well and thanks for the help.

@all:
I have posted a transform on the main page that will stop the 'Bonjour' service starting. Instructions for use are there also.

@rikgale:
You gonna put that in your silent version? - Be neater than a batch.

SP

[rikgale]

I've just this second up'ed a batch based install, would have been up before all this came about but the electrican wanted all the power off. GGrrrrrrrrr

Does this .MST file just stop the service or does remove it completely. I prefer the batch method as it still installs the service, but sets it to disable so at least ppl can still use the service if they need it.

I'll create a 3rd installer with the transform and up that in a bit.

For the silent batch based, non-bonjour running installer go here.

For the silent installer with bonjour running as normal go here.

removed due to setup errors

@rikgale:
This mst just changes the installer so that it still installs the service, but defaults it to disabled instead of auto, same as your batch.

Thanks for the installers

edit :

@evilvoice:
Thanks for that, I'll change the link on the main page. Downloading now, for my own use also. Now .... get to sleep!

Think I may try to make my own 'alternative' install of QT, after all I have learned about the files. There is a lot there that I dont need. Another days project

@seapagan

Ok cool. So it does the same thing!

I'm up'ing a silent installer with the transform in. If someone could test it I'd be greatful. I've lost count of the number of times I run a full-install on VMWare today, I could do with not seeing XP install again for couple of hours

The silent, transform based, non-bonjour running, untested installer can be found here.

Now you can pick which installer to add to the front page. I suggest the one the run bonjour as defualt and one of the non-bonjour installers, then ppl get a choice.

[seapagan]

Thanks rikgale
I'll do that now. I know the feeling - If I never see the itunes or QT install screens again, it will be too soon!!
I'll put up a link to your first (including bonjour) installer, and one to the latest transform-based one.

Hmm, if I never have to edit that first post again I will be happy too!

SP

[rikgale]

You wait until they release iTunes 5.1...........

Well with my installers hopefully you'll never see the screens anyway. I just have to wait until they release K-lite Mega Codec Pack 1.38 with the updated QT codecs in and then I can trash my install and start again, that's always the ulitimate test.

[seapagan]

Yeah, and they will probably release it tomorrow!

Time to go play Everquest and take a break, I'm starting to dream in msi format

SP.

[rikgale]

Have fun! You deserve a rest!!

[evilvoice]

ok, yea, i noticed the installer didnt work...well, i did finally get it all extracted and it working...it only save 2mb, but i will offer it up if someone wants it. Im looking at combining the itunes and quicktime into a silent installer and would also offer that package also. (some things will be combined...this is really only for those who dont use qta [like me]).

[seapagan]

@evilvoice:

Yeah, I spotted that a few days ago, and changed the main page just b4 my adsl line died . I compared yours to my version and it seems that your 'quicktime.qtp' was corrupt, it was only 48k. I got a working version about the same size as yours (using an administrative install after I removed the languages), I'll upload it in a bit. I've also just about completed writing up the method to remove all these languages, I'll post it soon. Worked out a way to do it quite easily, better than my original method.
Mind you, having no internet for a few days was very productive - started working on a programming project that I've been meaning to take on for quite a while now, and almost finished it
