burns3016 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi there ! I'm not sure if this is even possible, but because I don't have broadband internet (I'm stuck with slow dial-up as I cannot get broadband connected where I live), everytime I get a new computer or reboot my whole system, I have to spend approx. 5-7 hours downloading & installing SonicStage Version 4.0. What I'm wondering is, if it is possible (with the help of programs etc.) to make a "stand-alone" self installation Cd of SS ver.4.0 ? If yes, what programs & how would I go about it ? I'm not well versed when it comes to the techincal side of computers & would appreciate any input ? eg. is this even possible ? Cheers !

bobt Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Your installation file should be going to some defined folder, call it files, for instance.After the file is installed, you should be able to copy that file to a CD, and then use it when needed.HTHBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried that. But no luck. What about registry entries etc. ? These are the things I do not understand. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

bobt Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 You don't want to copy the program of SS, you want to copy yhe executable file, you might try saving a download to CD-rom if possible, if not , even though it takes a while, download SS again, and see where it goes, then copy that file, before launching it, onto a CD. Then try to run the executable from the cd, or try to copy the cd back to your puter.Good luck,Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read your answer properly ! I understand what your saying about an installation file being able to be copied etc. and then reused to install a given program, BUT, when you download SS 4.0 from the Sony website, you don't download an installation file or executable file. What happens is that the installation process occurs whilst your on the internet (ie. registry entries are created, deletion of old entries, etc. etc.) ..... & with only dial-up internet at my disposal, I would like to create my own installation/executable file for future installations (eg. after rebooting OR for a new computer), as the process takes at least 5 hours.Sure, the easy answer is upgrade to broadband ! BUT, as I mentioned earlier I can't get it at my current address.Cheers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) I think even the online installer actually downloads some executables which it stores in your "temp" folders... I believe this is how the original off-line installer for 3.4 was made. Edited September 12, 2006 by raintheory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmilovan Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Well, I asked simmilar question in this forum, few months ago - I pleaded someone who has original 4.0 Sonic Stage CD to put image of it on our forum.That image file can be done with Nero, Alcohol or Iso image maker. It is quite simpe, and it can be very usefull. You can install whatever you want from such file and even make installation CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I pleaded someone who has original 4.0 Sonic Stage CD to put image of it on our forum.I'm not sure there is a 4.0 CD. I just received my brand-new RH1 today and the CD is SS 3.4. Somewhere, though a search doesn't find it, there is a list of all the files downloaded during a SonicStage 3.x install, and how you could fish them out afterward and save them. Maybe someone else remembers it and knows how to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 A full installer (identical to its CD-ROM version – equivalent to approx. 88MB) is available from Sony Europe's VAIO FTP. This is a plausible route for those trying to create a SonicStage CP 4.0 CD-ROM; but not exactly feasible for those on dial-up. For those interested, here's the link for English Version of SonicStage CP 4.0.Unfortunately, MDCF's streamlined version will not be available anytime soon. However, we will try our best and release it before the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishiyoshi Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Update: MDCF's SonicStage CP 4.0 standalone installer will debut this week. Stay tuned for the official announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriktous Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 What will be the difference between MDCF's stand-alone installer and the one from Sony Europe's VAIO FTP?I downloaded that one, but haven't tried it yet, because I had already used the web-installer to install SS CP 4.0 on my system.
