Commandline installation

[searchengine]

yeah,

I always unpack the main setup.exe to get the Win7codecs.msi and 1033.MST file, and use it to perform silent install with the switches posted, applying the 3 regfixes ahead of .msi install, to stop the junk installing as the .msi extracts the junk to temp files, which still run, see the reg entries, and bail out, thinking already installed.

It's just that, as far as Bing is concerned, the reg entry for Bing is picked up by MS updates, wanting to apply important update.

You can delete, the bing regfix at the end of install, to solve this, but that's what I meant when I said "the installer is getting a bit too complicated though, too much crap extracting and desperate to install, too many "regfixes"

I've seen some installers, pushing junkware, with and without options to decline, but I have not as yet came across another installer that has WeatherBug, Ask, Bing, and MS Live ID in the one package.

Maybe better for the excellent Win7Codecs to become a package to be paid for by the user.
