If you're referring to the EULA, there's the switch /accepteula (GUI tools) and/or /nobanner (CLI tools); most of them accept both switches.Fla$her wrote: 2023-10-09, 18:39 UTCOtherwise, all of Russinovich's programs require registration in the registry.
Is there a version with -nobanner that runs on XP? I have a 1.51 but it without -nobanner.
Sure. Version 1.61 still runs on Win2k and version 2.02 runs on WinXP and later. Both of them support /accepteula, although none of them lists this switch when launched with /?. Version 2.02 also supports the -nobanner switch and lists it in its help output. Maybe version 1.51 supports /accepteula, too.
1.61 found, thanks. Post somewhere 2.02 please.Dalai wrote: 2023-10-09, 19:41 UTCVersion 1.61 still runs on Win2k and version 2.02 runs on WinXP and later.
No, I checked it right away.
I've found version 2.04 and judging from its import table it should also run on XP. Try this link, but I'm not sure if it works without all its parameters: https://securedl.cdn.chip.de/downloads/9205654/SDelete204.zip
Well, that's what all Sysinternals Tools do after Microsoft incorporated them all those years ago. Did you expect anything else?sdelete -accepteula simply creates a registry parameter HKCU\Software\Sysinternals\SDelete\EulaAccepted = 1, which is equivalent to pressing "Agree" in the dialog.
Thanks. -nobanner doesn't work, only -accepteula.Dalai wrote: 2023-10-10, 01:08 UTCI've found version 2.04 and judging from its import table it should also run on XP.
I expected the registration to be ignored. It turns out that the key itself is meaningless for reusability.
Yes, I noticed that when reading the meaning of -nobanner - it just suppresses the header with the Copyright message, but it doesn't handle the license agreement.
Why? So that the tool shows the EULA every time it's started? What kind of program does this?I expected the registration to be ignored.
What do you mean? The registry value is read by each of their tools and written when accepting the EULA.It turns out that the key itself is meaningless for reusability.
Ignoring means not showing the window and not making an entry to the registry.
The -accepteula switch is essentially one-time because you don't need to make the same registry entry more than once.
Consider portable usage of the program - this switch is so that you don't have to accept the EULA every time you run it on a new computer.Fla$her wrote: 2023-10-10, 18:02 UTC The -accepteula switch is essentially one-time because you don't need to make the same registry entry more than once.
It doesn't make any sense to use it repeatedly with the same program.
What kind of portable use can we talk about when writing to the registry?
You write about other computers on which such a record may not be required and strictly administrated with appropriate consequences. Traces left in the registry are the key essence of the installation, by which it can be identified.
