Unattended jZip Installation:

In this document the installer executable is referred to as jZipV1.exe. Actual name may vary.

How to Execute?
To silently install jZip with default configuration, execute the installer with /S command line argument: C:\> jZipV1.exe /S
To customize configuration, create a configuration file (in our example named “conf.txt”), and execute the installer with /S and /M=conf.txt command line arguments: C:\> jZipV1.exe /S /M=conf.txt

Configuration File:
Simple text file, containing zero or more configuration options as key-value pairs, each in a new line:
- Key and value are separated by ‘=’ (without the quotes).
For example: DEFAULT_FOLDER=C:\Program Files\jZip
- Do not enclose values with quotes.
- Unspecified options will be treated as default.

###### Configuration File Options: ######
Name: DEFAULT_FOLDER
Value:<Path>
Default:<Program Files>\jZip
Description: Destination folder’s path

Name:CREATE_SHORTCUT
Value:Yes/No
Default:Yes
Description: Whether or not to create a desktop shortcut to jZip client.

Name:ENABLE_SHELL_EXTENSIONS
Value:Yes/No
Default:Yes
Description: Whether or not to enable shell extensions.

Name:ASSOCIATE_FILETYPES
Value:Yes/No
Default:Yes
Description: Whether or not to associate archive file-types to jZip.
#####################

Example configuration file content:

DEFAULT_FOLDER=D:\Util Installations\jZip
CREATE_SHORTCUT=No

Using these configurations will result in jZip being extracted to D:\Util Installations\jZip, no desktop shortcut created, and shell extension enabled by default.

Cheers:
Toni

Hi Toni,

youre Guide is verry usefull for me, but i cant find the option for the new version 1.3 from jZip.
Please update the "unattended jZip Installation Guide" http://forum.jzip.com/showthread.php?t=320 for the new version 1.3.

I cant find the following Key for the installation:
- create/not create an Quick-Start-Link
- on/off the "Webmail-Plugin"
- on/off the auto Update

For me is absolutly essential to have these keys for this option bevor i make an rollout for these software.

Many Thanks,
Josef

Hey Josef,
Thanks for your feedback.

I've passed your request to the relevant department.
Hopefully the next jzip version will include additional commands and flags for the "unattended installation" feature, plus an updated manual.

Thanks again.

In addition to ASSOCIATE_FILETYPES, I'd like to see FILETYPES_LIST which would specify which filetypes should be associated with jZIP.

Example:
ASSOCIATE_FILETYPES=Yes
FILETYPES_LIST=.zip;.rar;.iso;.z;.gzip

I would love to see a New compression algorithm sorta like uha file type...

A new advanced ntfs optimized compression one that uses the security descriptors and USN journal using an advanced prescan to determine the best file pack ratio possible and chshe SSEA and advance 512 bit encryption based on python-twoface Linqe N encryption... aka interleaved 2 line AES 256 bit

got a good ext name to "jz"
