engine Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Dear forum users, When I am trying to install ImgBurn 2.5.2.0 for AllUsers manually or silently it installs for the current user only. I am using Windows XP SP3. Previous versions installed for AllUsers fine. I am using an AutoIt script to install silently. It doesn't work with ImgBurn version 2.5.2.0 anymore. script.zip Thanks.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks but I found out about this the same day I released 2.5.2.0. It's fixed for 2.5.3.0 - whenever that gets released.
engine Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 Thanks LIGHTNING UK! Can´t you release a version 2.5.2.1 ? Otherwise I will have to wait for version 2.5.3.0 Thanks again.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 What are you doing with ImgBurn, rolling it out to 10000 PC's or something?
engine Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 I am rolling it out to only 3. I started doing an unattended Windows XP setup about 6 years ago. Just for fun! That's how I ended up learning AutoIt. And that's why I ended up doing all those AutoIt scripts. I did all that just to entertain myself! The problem with the AllUsers setup is that I use limited permission accounts for security reasons. I don't want to switch to an account just to burn a CD or DVD. That's why I use the Pattin-Couffin driver. Thanks.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Ok so the stuff you're scripting can be done manually quite easily on those 3 machines. It's just a case of moving the shortcuts to the 'All Users' folder. Personally, I'd stick with SPTI and just use Nero (or Pokiosoft) BurnRights to give yourself permission on the drives. SPTI has special features available to it that the other I/O interfaces can't use.
engine Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 I can code that on the script also. I would have to remove those lines for the next release of ImgBurn. In case it does it right for AllUsers again. I just don't know if it will uninstall those shortcuts. So you recommend select the option to give access rights to SPTI for all users? Thanks.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Yes, there's that option... or do as I suggested in my previous post. Use Nero/Poikosoft BurnRights (google for it) to modify the permissions and give all users access to the drives.
engine Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 OK. I updated the AutoIt install script to copy the shortcuts to the AllUsers desktop and program start menu folders. It's as I need it now. Thanks for all your help.
engine Posted October 3, 2010 Author Posted October 3, 2010 I just updated the AutoIt scripts. In case anyone is interested. It installs the shortcuts for AllUsers. It will work with future versions of ImgBurn. Hopefully! Just place the ImgBurn installer in the same path as the scripts. Then run the ImgBurn.au3 script or compile it. Kind regards.
