Ok listen up. I'm busy building my own unattended windows CD. This is a CD you put in your CD-Rom select a drive and it will install windows automatically including all your favorite programs. As FlashFXP is also one of my favorite programs I would like to include this in my CD as well. But therefor I need to know 2 things.

-What switches are needed to let flashfxp do a totally silent setup?
Well I just found out the /S switch does that. Type "FlashFXP_21_Setup.exe /S" and it installs totally quiet to the program files folder.

-How can I enter my license automatically (without having to start flashfxp for it)?
I was thinking this must be possible trough the register adding my license with a .reg file. I think that's possible but I don't know where to look for the right reg-key. Maybe you guys could help me on that.

Thanx in advance

It's not possible to automatically register FlashFXP.
You must manually enter your serial number.

Hmmz too bad.... But maybe you can tell me in what registerkey my license is saved now so I can export this one and let it import that key so it uses my old license again.

When you register FlashFXP the info is stored encrypted, This encrypted file will only work on your windows installation, if you reinstall windows the key will become invalid and you'll need to re-enter it.

A file named "flashfxp.key" in your FlashFXP folder

Right so it's no register entry :( I've allready tryed copying flashfxp.key with it, but indeed as you said it expires on a new install... Haven't you got a commandline encryptor wich can encrypt my license code into flashfxp.key.....

Offcourse you've got the code for the encryption, it's only the question if you are willing to make a commandline util for it (prolly not :( but can allways try :D ) Or maybe you allready have :)

Because this is the only thing left that would make my CD totally unattended.
