Zoom7000 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi, n00b here! Yes, we all were once! Great program, btw! Is there a command line parameter that will allow me to perform a totally silent install of ImgBurn with custom settings? (E.g. Turn off all sound alerts on install) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 No. All you can do is install silently and then import a reg file that just modifies the settings you want to force to a certain value. I recommend the reg file ONLY include settings/values for the options you really want to change and not just all of them - i.e. so the program can then use it's own default values for the rest (which I do change from time to time if required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be able to advise me on how I can export the settings to registry file. Alternatively, can you tell me which reg settings I need to modify in order to disable the sound on success and on error. This is the only real setting that I need to adjust (I.e. I want no sound alerts at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The registry key ImgBurn uses for all the options is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ImgBurn The ones related to sound should be pretty obvious from their names! You need to have installed and opened+closed ImgBurn once to have it make the reg entries in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have installed and opened+closed ImgBurn once to have it make the reg entries in the first place. I hate to criticise since you've created this great program, but why not just simply make the install an MSI? Either way, my solution was to export the settings I wanted into a regfile, then merge that before the install like so: regedit -s ImgBurnSettings.reg imgburnsetup.exe /S Save the text file as "SilentInstall.bat" and you have a batch file which automatically imports the regfile and then kicks off the silent install. This works well with deployments via SMS etc. I realise you say don't export all the settings because you change them but since I've tested version 2.4.4.0 that version is all I will deploy, until 6 months later or so where I will just export the new settings set by the new install again. Also, is there any way to use ImgBurn as a non-Administrative user? Edited June 17, 2009 by healthent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 My system is automated and just the way I like it at the moment. I have no need to make an MSI and any sys admins that want one can make their own (as I do when my job requires it). Also, is there any way to use ImgBurn as a non-Administrative user? Yes, read the FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
