O.P. Need to bypass InstallShield verification
HP has this BD player (HP TouchSmart DVD), which was installed on my PC when I bought it and this update.

I'd like to install it on other other PCs, however the installer has to check the PC manufacturer or so in order to verify it's a legit HP, otherwise installation process is aborted.

Can anyone help me sorting it out?

The easy part is to extract the file with WinRAR/7-zip/etc and navigate through the "src" folder, which contain the main installer (setup.exe, Data1.cab, etc).
I believe the whole process needs changes in other .bat files in upper directories, but I can handle those easily once the setup works.

As you may notices, this piece of software is made by Cyberlink and most likely will suggest me "install PowerDVD!". I'd usually agree, however this HP versions is the only one I found so far which is able to play Star Wars BDs flawlessly. Besides, something's telling me there is no region change limit, which is very interesting feature (yet to be confirmed).
