how to manually install Ut VFW?

[FredThompson]

These will manually install Ut DirectShow filters:

regsvr32 /s C:\Windows\System32\utv_dmo.dll
regsvr32 /s C:\Windows\SysWOW64\utv_dmo.dll

How to also manually install them as VFW?

Or, alternately, is there a way to do silent install/uninstall of Ut from the command line/batch?

MS Stuff on editing registry:- https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/310516/how-to-add,-modify,-or-delete-registry-subkeys-and-values-by-using-a-.reg-file


Deleting Registry Keys and Values
To delete a registry key with a .reg file, put a hyphen (-) in front of the RegistryPath in the .reg file. For example, to delete the
Test subkey from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
put a hyphen in front of the following registry key in the .reg file:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test
The following example has a .reg file that can perform this task.
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
To delete a registry value with a .reg file, put a hyphen (-) after the equals sign following the DataItemName in the .reg file.
For example, to delete the TestValue registry value from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test
put a hyphen after the "TestValue"= in the .reg file. The following example has a .reg file that can perform this task.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test
"TestValue"=-
To create the .reg file, use Regedit.exe to export the registry key that you want to delete, and then use Notepad to edit the .reg file and
insert the hyphen.


For me on XP32, I went to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]

Right clicking on the Drivers32 key, select Export.
Will export a load of stuff eg

to delete, "Ut_Vidio_UnInstall.reg" (NOTE the =- at end)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
"VIDC.ULRA"=-
"VIDC.ULRG"=-
"VIDC.ULY0"=-
"VIDC.ULY2"=-

EDIT: Will need admin rights.
Presumably the SysWOW64 version will be in same place in registry, but dont know that for sure.
NOTE, the double slashes in the file paths, will fail if not double slashed.

Thanks for your reply.

I screwed up in the initial post. Those are DirectShow register commands.

FWIW, I like to have everything as portable as possible. That includes editing codecs.

Attached is what I have for Ut. I use one of the Universal Extractor builds to unpack Ut's installer. These files are supposed to register as DirectShow and VFW.

For some reason, which I haven't figured out, they aren't showing up as installed for VFW but all the registry entries are the same with my routines and the Ut installer.

.ax register just fine. There's something about .dll as VFW on Windows x64 that eludes me. Searched the web and found lots of explanations but nothing that addresses this situation.

I haven't tried a forced restart of Windows Explorer because that closes all open Explorer windows.

Here's how to do that:

taskkill /im explorer.exe /f
start "" /d "%systemroot%" /i /normal explorer.exe

Ut's install_script.iss includes these lines at the end of the [RUN] section:

Filename: "{sys}\regsvr32.exe"; Parameters: "/u /s {sys}\utv_mft.dll"; MinVersion: 0.0,6.0; Flags: 32bit
Filename: "{sys}\regsvr32.exe"; Parameters: "/u /s {sys}\utv_mft.dll"; Check: "Is64BitInstallMode"; MinVersion: 0.0,6.0; Flags: 64bit

Universal Extractor doesn't extract utv_mft.dll and it's not a visible file after installation. Really odd.

I've also thought about making an .inf using Cedocida's as a start. That's a lot more text, though. Having Windows create the registry entries itself makes more sense.

For what it's worth...

1) this is my utvideo.inf file

The files "utv_*.dll" must be in the same directory as the .INF, of course.

2) this is my utvideo.cmd batch file:

@echo off
cd %windir%\SysWow64
rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 B:\INFSETUP\utvideo.inf
exit

You will have to change "B:\INFSETUP\utvideo.inf" to the actual location of utvideo.inf on your computer, of course.
