Installing Duplicate Cleaner Pro

Post by Steph14 »

Good afternoon.

We bought a Duplicate Cleaner Pro 4 Site Licence in our entreprise.
I want to package this in order to install with tools llike SCCM.

I don't find any arguments to use with the .exe setup like /silent...
Also how can i include the licence key in the installer ?

It seems that the installer create a shortcut on the desktop and copy some files.
Is the licence key store in a file ?

Thanks

You can send this command line flag with your license number to the setup executable:
-register="00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"

If you build your own installer you can send the code directly to the duplicatecleaner.exe using-
/register "00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"


The installer also takes the following flags-
/S runs the installer or uninstaller silently.
/D sets the installation directory. It must be the last parameter used in the command line and must not contain any quotes, even if the path contains spaces. Only absolute paths are supported.

When i try to use the command (with the good licence key):

DuplicateCleaner.exe -register="00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"
or
DuplicateCleaner.exe /register="00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"

I have an error, invalid folder or missing folder

I Try too
DuplicateCleanerPro4_setup.exe -register="00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"
But i have to enter again the licence key when starting the software.

(FWIW.
Tried on my end, sandboxed [Sandboxie].
Purposely put in a bogus license #, but instead the installer still picked up my valid number [from where I don't know], so installed, registered.

Also it didn't seem to respect the /D switch? 413.exe -register "XXXXX-00000-..." /d c:\dc413.
The install dialog came up, but was not pre-populated with an install location of c:\dc413.

I did not try /S.
That too didn't seem to work?
413.exe /s /d c:\dc413

/S is case sensitive, so after changing to /S, it was silent.
Still haven't gotten /D to fly?

/D is case sensitive.
If you use /d, defaults to "program files".
If you use /D, the directory parameter is respected.

/D needs an = sign.
413.exe /S /D=C:\413

With that, silent & the expected directory work.

Still don't know about the license.)

No problem for /S
I don't try with /D cause i don't need.

I seem to have worked my way around that.


But, trying various machinations of; -register="00000-00000-00000-00000-000000" (using my valid key) all failed to set the key correctly.
In all cases, DC opened unregistered.

Tried stuff like:

-register="00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"
-register "00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"
/register="00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"
/register "00000-00000-00000-00000-000000"

(sample full command-line)
413 -register="00000-00000-00000-00000-000000" /S /D=C:\TMP\413
(I renamed "DuplicateCleanerPro4_setup.exe" to "413.exe".)


Only way I could register successfully was to manually enter my key into the dialog.

I've tested and it seems the auto-registration is broken in DC4.x - it was working in 3.2.7.
Sorry for leading you on a wild goose chase!

I've fixed it now - will upload an update soon.
