DAEMON Tools 4.0

[muiz]

Any one installed the new DAEMON Tools 4.0?

i saw they switched to a nulsoft installer so that would be /S , but does that install the toolbar ?

cause they added adware in new verion , a toolbar

[GDragoN]

Well, I am not sure that this is Nullsoft. No switches work with this one.

[mickmack]

[r0sWell]

It is Nullsoft but it not capable do a Silent Install currently.

I was never able to successfully get Daemon tools 3.47 to install silently using the EXE from Daemon's website. I always found and MSI that someone created. I will be experimenting with Daemon 4.00 when I get home. Wish me luck.

I really don't get why the author do not make sure the installer properly support silent installs.... I'm the translator of the Norwegian D-tools, I'll have a chatty with him...

could be cool

i've just installed it (the normal way) and i had to reboot my computer before installing D-Tools v4.0 (for a kind of driver). so it's not good for silent install it i think

I only had to reboot because has to remove the old version installed.. if its anything like 3.47. install it on a PC that doesnt have an older version & then just launch it without rebooting and its works..

Im try it now... no wait cant do that well thats crap!

My AutoIt3 Script will have to click Cancel to restart and add its self to RunOnceEx VIA Batch File to finish the installation once the 'SCSI Pass Though Direct' Driver had been installed during reboot or the drive will have to be installed at T-12 or T-12

you're going 2 need a lot of luck

as mentioned above, setup no longer uses .msi format.

I repacked Daemon Tools V3.x ages ago and it always worked fine. I'll see if I can do the same with this one - minus the adware.

EDIT: Sheesh, they make you reboot right in the middle of the install.

Here's a little something I put together in AutoIt for installing Daemon Tools v4 (without Toolbar and shortcuts).

; AutoIt options.
AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

; Verify only one instance of installer is running.
$installername = "AutoInstaller for DaemonTools 4"
If WinExists($installername) Then
SplashTextOn("Error", @CRLF & @CRLF & "An instance of this script is already running.", 350, 90, -1, -1, -1, "Arial", 11, 11)
WinActivate("Error")
Sleep(4000)
SplashOff()
Exit
EndIf
AutoItWinSetTitle($installername)

; Installation variables.
$installerpath = @ScriptDir & "\daemon400.exe"
$programpath = @ProgramFilesDir & "\DAEMON Tools\daemon.exe"

; Verify installation file path.
If Not FileExists($installerpath) Then
SplashTextOn("Error", @CRLF & "	File not found:" & @CRLF & "	" & $installerpath, 500, 90, -1, -1, 4, "Arial", 11, 11)
WinActivate("Error")
Sleep(4000)
SplashOff()
Exit
EndIf

; Verify application is not already installed.
If FileExists($programpath) Then
SplashTextOn("Error", @CRLF & @CRLF & "Daemon Tools 4 already installed.", 350, 90, -1, -1, -1, "Arial", 11, 11)
WinActivate("Error")
Sleep(4000)
SplashOff()
Exit
EndIf

; Start installation.
Run($installerpath)

; Welcome dialog.
WinWait("DAEMON Tools 4.00HE", "Welcome to the DAEMON Tools 4.00 Setup Wizard")
ControlClick("DAEMON Tools 4.00HE", "Welcome to the DAEMON Tools 4.00 Setup Wizard", "Button2")

ControlClick("DAEMON Tools 4.00HE", "License Agreement", "Button2")

; Choose Components.
BlockInput(1)
WinWait("DAEMON Tools 4.00HE", "Choose Components")
WinActivate("DAEMON Tools 4.00HE", "Choose Components")
WinWaitActive("DAEMON Tools 4.00HE", "Choose Components")

ControlClick("DAEMON Tools 4.00HE", "Completing the DAEMON Tools Setup Wizard", "Button2")

Exit

there isn't a possibility with wpi to install daemon 4?

[Kelsenellenelvian]

Just compile the above auto it file into an exe and use it.
