Note that version 7.x is actually an .msi wrapped in an .exe. At running, the .msi will extract out to C:\Documents and Settings\%system%\%current_user%\Local Settings\Temp.
This .msi can then be copied out, and you can us it to create an administrative installation point using the /a switch.
Installation does not prompt for a license key, so you may want to import the results of activating the product into the original .msi. Activating creates:
an .ini file at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application DataTechSmith
and registry entries at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TechSmith\SnagIt\7
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TechSmith\SnagIt\7]
RegistrationDialogHasShown = 1 DWORD <- Disable registration dialog
ShowTipOfDay = 0 DWORD <- Do not show Tip of the day
The Below is what I use to disable the auto update feature.
NOTE: I tried to use a transform file to do the above, and for some reason it didn't work. Turns out you have to make sure that you use TRANSFORMS= and not /TRANSFORMS=!
It's possible to create an MSI package with WISE by using the before-after method. The only probleme I had was with a current_users registry key that was launching a repair process each time it was launch. To solve this problem transfert each Current_users key in your repackage under the currentUser component.
In order to install the Snag-it local printer stop and restart the spooler service in your package
