how to create Winamp 5.1x Silent Installer to run in Windows Post Installer? exe? sfx?

[amit_talkin]

Note: case sensitive!!

If you would have TRIED to search... you would know there is a topic with a great Winamp MSI. You can select the things you want/don't want and install it silent.

not working for Winamp 5.13 Full w/o emusic.

http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/client/winamp513_full.exe

this windows pop up asking for this:

Screen 7:

Quote

Registration Info
Email address & ZIP code are not required (optional)
uncheck any other options, if you wish.
Click "Send" to send registration info, or "Later" to not send.
If selecting "Later", then you could/should also checkmark "do not ask again until next install", otherwise the reg screen will reappear next time you close & reopen winamp.
If "Later" is clicked, then Winamp just opens.
If "Send" is clicked, then at this point you should get a notification from your firewall stating that Winamp is trying to access the internet. If so, then be sure to grant internet access to winamp.exe
A confirmation screen appears.
Click "Run Winamp"

How to fix it? what switch?

Silent install not all that silent

winamp512_full.exe /S
Registration screen is displayed (install page 7).

winamp512_full.exe /S /install=F
Registration screen is displayed

winamp512_full.exe /S /install=f
Registration screen is displayed

I tested both upper and lower case due to silent /s not working in lower case.

I take it there still isn't a way to silently install Winamp barring repackaging as an msi?

Ofcouse, it has been covered in other WinAmp threads.

Here is a simple AutoIt script that does what you want. Silent and WinAmp will not nag afterwards, as the ini is written to to stop tha nag window.

RunWait(@ScriptDir & '\winamp513_full.exe /S')
ProcessWait('winamp.exe', 5)
If ProcessExists('winamp.exe') Then ProcessClose('winamp.exe')
If ProcessExists('winampa.exe') Then ProcessClose('winampa.exe')
IniWrite(@ProgramFilesDir & '\winamp\winamp.ini', 'winampreg', 'NeedReg', '0')

Just save as "_WinAmp.au3" and compile with a rightclick. Then add the compiled "_WinAmp.exe" to the same folder as "winamp513_full.exe" and run it from WPI without switches.

working with 5.13 without the use of AutoIT (it's part of a wihu script, but i guess you get the idea):

description.9 = Winamp 5.13
description.9.0 = Taskkill Winamp
description.9.1 = Taskkill Winamp Agent
description.9.2 = Taskkill EmusicClient.exe
command.9 = %wihu%\Winamp\WinAmp.exe /S /install=SRF
command.9.0 = taskkill /F /IM winamp.exe
command.9.1 = taskkill /F /IM winampa.exe
command.9.2 = taskkill /F /IM EmusicClient.exe
hidden.9.0 = 1
hidden.9.1 = 1
hidden.9.2 = 1
selected.9 = 1
selected.9.0 = 1
selected.9.1 = 1
selected.9.2 = 1

and at the end (when cleaning up the system) i run:

"%programfiles%\Winamp\eMusic\Uninst-eMusic-promotion.exe" /S

though i have to admit i'm not sure whether i still need it or its just a leftover :-)

how to disable Winamp Agent using AutoIt?

[WotC]

uhm - just remove it from autostart using a reg file (or a cmd file, whatever you prefere)? and if thats not enough, copy over your "original" winamp.ini file (i'm doing this, don't know whether its required for turning of agent).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"WinampAgent"=-

AutoIt script without the WinAmp Agent

RunWait(@ScriptDir & '\winamp513_full.exe /S')
ProcessWait('winamp.exe', 5)
If ProcessExists('winamp.exe') Then ProcessClose('winamp.exe')
If ProcessExists('winampa.exe') Then ProcessClose('winampa.exe')
IniWrite(@ProgramFilesDir & '\winamp\winamp.ini', 'WinampReg', 'NeedReg', '0')
RegDelete('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run', 'WinampAgent')
