At first install RCrawler and register it. Export registry to .reg file, then:

Microsoft Money Silent Install
Microsoft Money 2006 Deluxe



Here is a great reference from MSDN about packages executed with Msiexec.exe.

DVDFab Silent Install
DVDFab Platinum 2.9.4.5

It's an Inno Setup installer. I use



Also, you will need to add a registry setting to apply your cdkey and some default settings that are usually added when the program is first run. Replace the x's with your cdkey:

For Windows XP and 2000


For Windows 98, ME, and NT 4.0

Xfire Silent Install
Xfire 1.45

It's a Nullsoft (NSIS) installer. Remember NSIS parameters must be capitalized. I use



Using this method, Xfire does not create shortcuts in the user directories or in the Windows startup folder as it does in the normal install. To combat this, we must make our own batch file to do the work for it. I use a freeware program called shortcut.exe that simplifies the task of making Windows shortcuts. Here is my custom Xfire batch file. You can run it anytime after Xfire is installed, possibly during your cleanup phase:

xfire.bat


Here is the shortcut.exe program I use. You will need this for the batch file to work properly.

ROXIO 7 (The one that comes with burners, etc.)

There are two .msi on the disk. (The .msi filenames have been shortened for convienance.) While I did a search, and found nothing for Roxio 7, there's probably several ways to go about it. This works in real time for me.




REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Installing roxio 7" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Roxio\ISS.msi /quiet" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Roxio\Roxio.msi /quiet" /f

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:

Inno Setup Command Line Switches and Exit Codes

testet with:
DVDFab Platinum 2.9.6.5 & Super Flexible File Synchronizer v2.61 (without the langugae option testet the app is in engl.)

1.) DVDFab Platinum 2.9.6.5
export first your reg.info from:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Fengtao Software\DVDFab Platinum]

then make an *.cmd (* your name )

then make an winrar sfx

Setup= your *.cmd )
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

thats all
**: for german LANG=deutsch

2.) Super Flexible File Synchronizer v2.61

export first your reg.info from:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SuperFlexibleSynchronizer]
then make an *.cmd (* your name )

then make an winrar sfx

Setup= your *.cmd )
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1

thats all

NOTES: the setup.exe's name are is induvidual, make sure you creect the values in the *cmd

more switches: http://www.appdeploy.com/tips/detail.asp?id=113

These all steps is ONLY for making Unattended files...
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!

Mp3tag

Switch: /S /D=dirname

Extraction needed: No

Verified and working...

[EDIT] added link

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 have tried this one and it works perfectly.
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Apps\Acronis.True.Image.9.0.0.2337\AcronisTrueImage.msi PIDKEY=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx/qb+ /norestart

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....

X-Chat v2.x

xchat.exe /S

eMule Plus 1.2

eMulePlus-1.2.Installer.exe /SILENT

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

KAV 5 (Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5.0.xxx)


where MYKEY.key - is your LEGAL key for KAV5

PowerArchiver: powarc.exe /VERYSILENT
Inno Setup

Messenger Plus Live 4.xx msgpluslive.exe /Silent
n/a

First Class:

Extract downloaded file:
FC8200US.exe -extract_all:"C:\Temp"

Create setup.iss (from the extracted folder):
setup.exe /r
The answerfile will be in C:\Windows

Silent install:
X:\FC82\Setup.exe /s /sms /f1X:\FC82\Setup.iss
or
\\SRVNAME\SHARE\Setup /s /sms /f1\\SRVNAME\SHARE\Setup.iss

PowerISO

PowerISO30.exe /S

Using that switch will not make the program define it's file asociations, you can do that later inside the program itself.

i finaly found some HP Softpaq switches on a forum

Diskeeper 10 Professional

Switch: /S /v/qb or /qn
Example: dskkpr.exe /S /v/qb

No registration window
The "/S" has to be in CAPS or install will fail, this is the EXE file no need to extract

Opera 9.01 International

Silent & Invisible:

/S /v/qn

Extraction needed: No

Make sure you have all switches exactly the way it is shown above! Slash, capital "S", space and then lower case "v" followed by slash and lower case "qn"

Dunno if anyone needs or wants this, just came across the thread hunting for an opera switch. Since i didn't find it i post it (after having done the famous command "/?" on the opera exe....).

(i don't mention that it took me 30 minutes to actually have that idea....)

IE7 RC1

To install this silantly just download the package and do this



Its as easy as that.

Not exactly mainstream apps, but could always be useful to somebody else...

Atmel AVR Studio 4.12 and SP3 for Atmel AVR Studio 4.12:
Both use an Installshield installer (-R to record to setup.iss, -s for silent install). Select W/O USB driver if you don't want that to popup (can easily be installed later, and no use unless you've got like a USB JTAG ICE or such)

Software for Tekpower lab equipment (multimeter, adj power supplies, etc - for RS232 comms) uses installshield as well (same switches, -R, -s)

CodeVisionAVR C Compiler: password protected Inno installer:
setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /PASSWORD=passwordgoeshere

ImageCraft ICCAVR seemingly has no switches (home made installer?) You have to capture/repack it.

I'll spare you guys the really weird/unusual stuff

[edit] More stuff:

PerfectDisk Command Center 8
Installshield
-r to record, -s [-f1] [-f2] as usual

WinMerge 2.4.10

Here is a tool to assist in the installation of Adobe Acrobat that I just happened to stumble across. I don't think it's been posted anywhere but it's direct from adobe, here ya'lls go.

http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1272

Because I am lazy,

I use the free addition of Caphyon's Advanced Installer to create my own *.msi slip stream installers. I used it for sysinternals applications, putty, WinDirStat, TrueCrypt, etc ... The standard cmd line options for *.msi are supported, so /quiet works. I even used it, again because I am lazy, to install all my quick launch shortcuts. I prefer doing this because the uninstaller is included for free and I can tweak how I want the apps installed

here is the link: http://www.caphyon.com/

Adobe Reader 8.0:

Files required:

AcroRead.msi
Data1.cab

All other files may be deleted.

MCAFEE VIRUSSCAN V10 and SPAMKILLER V10 (2006)
Hi all,
Im new to this "posting in forums thing" but have been here for yonks. I have been struggling to work out Mcafees Virusscan V10 for the past 3 days. Its got a nasty little zipped file called vsoins.ui and its passworded so you can't get in and change the install behaviour. I was stumped to find a way to silently install it. Anyway, last night I thought I'll have a break from it and move on to Mcafees Spamkiller V10. I cut the spamkiller folder from an Internet Security 2006 OEM CD and ran the setup.exe to watch it and lo and behold it installed "Very Silent" straight from the CD, I thought wow, dont have to do anything with that one, anyway, I went back to the same CD and did the same with Virusscan, and it too installed silently. SO what I couldn't do with the virusscan CD Was already done for me on the Internet Security CD.

Hope this helps anyone else trying to silently install this V10 Mcafee...

On a side note- I made a winrar SFX file to do this because Mcafee deletes the source folder on reboot. very annoying
Is that a correct post for here? it is a contribution I think.

Hey do I get flamed if I ask how to silently install Limewire......

Just kidding guys.

CSDiff
Switch: -s [case sensitive]
Full syntax: CSDiff50.exe -s
Extraction needed: yes, from csdiff.zip

This is a file and folder differencing tool, my favorite.

This uses Ghost Installer, which PEID doesn't seem to recognize.

Winrar:

In WinRAR 3.70 we added -d<path> SFX option, so you can
try to use it like this:

wrar37b2.exe -s "-dc:\program files\winrar37"

It is not supported by earlier WinRAR versions.
