I'm working on an automated install, where the program installs without needing user interaction. I am hosting my own jabber server, and have created all the user accounts in the backend already.

Since there are so many actual installs to do, it would take a great deal of time to have to go through each setup by hand.

I can copy over a pre-setup .config file, but i always have to run through the setup just once to insert the correct password.

I know that after i enter a user's password into the wippien setup the AES hex password gets stored in the hklmsoftware...wippien registry key.

I'd like to generate the same format password, so I can insert it into the registry manually.

What is the formula you use to generate the long string that is stored in the registry?

All you need to do is provide Wippien.config file, and put inside <password>something</password> line. Once Wippien loads it, it will remove it from the config file and put in the registry, and you don't need to run it at all.
