Install Adobe Reader 7.0.5 with "Display PDF in browser" unchecked, not disabled.

The solution is pathetically simple, (doesn't even require a transform).... ready... don't blink, you'll miss it.

Thanks to MarkATS's post in the Adobe forums with this post. (select Log in as guest near the bottom).

To quote from the page
I personally now use
After using the InstallShield Tuner setting "Disable Display of PDF in Browser", and getting some negative feedback from people who like the feature, I set on a long path of finding how to allow it to be re-enabled, but unchecked by default. Many registry and file compares later with nothing but broken installs to show for it, I stumbled across the above parameter (ok not technically a switch, if this post doesn't belong here, politely PM me where it should go and I'll remove contents and post elsewhere).

I have personally tested this with a fully up to date Win XP installation with both IE and Firefox 1.0.7 and it successfully toggles for both browsers. It starts with .pdf's loading in standalone reader, but when you check "Display PDF in browser", it successfully toggles it back to in the browser!!!!

Enjoy MSFN community!

OpenOffice 2.0 has changed interms of a silent install.

The command is now 'setup.exe -qn' and she'll isntall silently...

Please add this to the database:

Mozilla Firefox

Switch: -ms
Full Syntax: Firefox.exe -ms
Extraction Needed: No

NOD32

Switch: /silentmode
Fullsyntax: ndntenst.exe /silentmode
Extraction Needed: No

Acronis TrueImage 9

AcronisTrueImage.msi /qn PIDKEY="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Also for open office you can just download the .exe file and use /S as well.

e.g. Oo2.exe /S

Foxit PDF Reader silent install ( a small and fast pdf reader, whose only disadvantage is, that it can't handle form-sheets):
I just wrote a batch to install the foxit PDFReader and set it as default application for opening pdfs. It installs the Reader to %PROGRAMFILES%.
Just put the exe, the reg and the cmd file into the same directory and call the batch.

It doesn't work, please replace the batch with this:

You need install F-Secure before execute "FSUpdate.exe". Then install virus updates and make
dbupdate.sfx.
Finaly you have one directory "F-Secure" and two files - dbupdate.sfx and reghack.reg
Place them to your UA CD and and execute from RunOnceEx fsecure.exe -s, then dbupdate and reghack.
That's all

Xfire

I had this posted here a long while ago, but it looks like it got deleted from the topic. Xfire used to not make shortcuts properly, but thanks to a forum post it has been fixed as of version 1.50.

The current switch is:


Which is 100% functional. For archival purposes, the old method was using a small Delphi shortcut-making program and this batch file:

silent.bat

If you have the key, copy it into the installer just as you did with install.inf and once again modify install.inf
to include the 2nd entry below



Thanks for sending me searching in the right direction Avgasse!

7-zip 4.32 Per the FAQ...
use /S

so for me it is

Thought I'd add this since I'm making a fresh disc, and 7-zip is at the top and is now wrong for the newst version.
Now just wish I could have a progress bar when installing silently.

I'm sure most people have figured this out, but I'm adding it anyways...

Windows Defender Beta 2 is install silently with


Of course, you need a machine with a valid CDKey for it to install at all.. If the key is not valid it will not regurgitate an error.... It simply wont install....

The switch for Everest Home Edition 2.20:

(name of Everest file altered in this example, use the file downloadable from main software sites)

@ECHO.
@ECHO Installing Everest Home Edition 2.20
@ECHO Please wait...
Start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Ev220.exe /VERYSILENT

eRightSoft SUPER 2006.17
SUPERsetup.exe /q1 /b0
followed by a
taskkill /F /IM hh.exe

Havent fully tested yet, but this should work for anything else using the Tarma installer as well

NOD32 Antivirus 2.5x

Unpack the original distribution. There's a file setup.exe there...

setup.exe /silentmode /cfg=myconfig.cfg /instmfc /noreboot

...where myconfig.cfg - is your config made with nod32's Configuration Editor
