Here is the breakdown for the MSN Toolbar:

If you extract the setup executable, (you can use winrar or winzip for this), you will find a file called mtbs.exe

Now if you try to pass the normal switches to that program, it gives you an error.
But what I did is try passing the switches that the Messenger 6.2 MSI uses, and sure enough, it accepts them.

So...I tried some others. Here are the ones I found so far that do anything:

(The format is <path>mtbs.exe <switch> There is no "/")

c=Uninstall but not silent

d=Launches the normal install for just the portion that sets the "Making MSN Search your default search engine..." with a check box to change language to english. Along with "Finish", "Cancel", and "Help" buttons.

e=Launches the normal install along with all dialogs, but no check boxes for make MSN default search, or set home page to MSN. (Does not set them)

f=Same as "e" from what I can tell, except it actually sets the Making MSN Search your default search engine..." even though there is no checkbox for it.

i= Launches the normal install along with all dialogs and includes check boxes to make MSN default search, and Set home page to MSN.

j=Silent Install, but also launches IE to the "Get Started" page. (Don't know yet if it sets MSN to be the default search, or not.)

t=Silent Uninstall

u=Uninstall but not silent

So for example, the install would be:

mtbs.exe j

Or what ever switch you want.

OR=blue]Found a way to install the Ati Catalyst Drivers and also the Audigy Drivers!

Ati Catalyst
Download the Ati Catalyst from the Ati Tech...-site, execute the setup (with -R, case sensitive!) on a test-pc, or your own PC where you have the Ati Radeon GPU-equiped videocard. In the first stage of the installation it will ask you for a directory for temp-files, which aren't getting deleted after the installation. Copy the directory in your temp-dir with the Ati Catalyst-files to $OEM$\$1\Install\AtiCatalyst
Now you have to add this to your batchfile:
CODE
ECHO.
ECHO Installing Ati Catalyst!
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\AtiCatalyst\issetup.exe -s


Creative Audigy
Just copy the contents from your CD to $OEM$\$1\Install\CreativeAudigy
(the directories are: Audio, CTRun, CTShared, License, Manual, Register and Warranty. Things not written here are not needed)
Get a setup.iss the same way as you did it for the Ati Catalyst. Put it in $OEM$\$1\Install\CreativeAudigy\Audio\Setup and put this in your batch-file:
CODE
ECHO.
ECHO Installing the Creative Audigy Software and drivers!
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\CreativeAudigy\Audio\Setup\setup.exe -s

In your Audio are also seperated directories for the programs, but the setup.exe in Setup-directory will make your life much easier! Could put my setup.iss online, but we all have a different opinion about what's needed or not.

NOTE: You may already find a setup.iss in the directories where the setup.exe resides! Just overwrite it with your new one in your windows directory. At the Ati-setup, you NEED the issetup.exe from the extracted setup! The one you download is just a kind of .zip cool.gif

@ KewlKiddo

little help please

my install didn't ask for temp dir.....

but I found a windir\temp folder with 16 ati files

in it, is that the one?? do you overwrite or are they in

a folder of there own and what is it called???

sorry for the dumb questions but I've had big trouble

with this driver being silent all along........

it's the 27.8 ver right??  yes.gif

thanks Bonedaddy

Before the real installation starts you get the C:\Ati\Support-choose options...
KewlKiddo
Sorry, my switches are incorrect, I wanna say sorry for that. However, I found a new SUCCESSFULL way for Ati Catalyst!

Extract it like described; Make a setup.iss for the Driver- and CPanel-directory!
CODE
start /wait %systemroot%\Install\AtiCatalyst\Driver\setup.exe /s
start /wait %systemroot%\Install\AtiCatalyst\CPanel\setup.exe /s


This one works for sure tongue.gif

Wasn't able to test the WDM, since I don't own an AIW! Will post a working Audigy-setupbatch asap!

Daemon Tools 3.46

For the latest Daemon Tools (3.46)
After running the installer, get the .msi installer from

C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\DAEMON Tools 3.46\

Or on whatever drive your installation may reside.

Then the switches are
/qn REBOOT=Suppress

This is what I added in my runonceex:

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Daemon Tools" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\daemon\daemon346.msi /qn REBOOT=Suppress" /f

I had to use the /SILENT switch in order for it to work.

Silent Update of Virus Definitions

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) Choose "Norton Antivirus Corporate" and your language here:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...s.download.html

b) On the next page, select either the 2nd (ex: 20040603-023-i32.exe) or 3rd listing (the 2nd one is smaller) and save it somewhere.

c) To install the updates silently (ie - right after installing Norton Corporate v8), run the intelligent updater file with the /qn switch - like:

20040603-023-i32.exe /QN

can you enlighten us? this is the method i use at the moment, works fine, so what's the difference? or are you on about the RUNLIVEUPDATE=1 switch? the reason i use virindi's method is that the computer may not be hooked up to network/internet at that point.

No I don't mean the Liveupdate option!

Copying an .xdb file
You can update any Symantec AntiVirus server or client by downloading the .xdb file from Symantec. You can also copy an .xdb file from the \SAV folder on any Symantec AntiVirus server. The modified date of the .xdb file matches the date of the virus definitions. When using this method, RTVSCAN.EXE checks for new .xdb files, and then initiates the update process. RTVSCAN.EXE checks for new .xdb files about every 10 minutes by default. Restarting (stopping and then starting) the Symantec AntiVirus Server process can be used to manually initiate the update process if you do not want to wait.

      To download an .xdb file from Symantec
      1. Go to the xdb folder on the Symantec FTP site. (You can also find the file from the Symantec Security Response Virus Definitions Download Page.)
      2. Click the .xdb file with the latest date, and select "Save to disk" from the dialog box.
      3. If the .xdb file downloads with a .zip extension, remove the .zip extension by renaming the file. The file name should be similar to the following: vd12bc02.xdb
      4. Copy the .xdb file to the appropriate destination, depending on the version of Symantec AntiVirus and the operating system:
                o For NetWare servers, the default location is SYS:SAV.
                o For Windows servers, the default is C:\Program Files\SAV\.
                o For Windows 2000/XP clients, the default is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\.
                  Note: The Application Data folder may be hidden. To show hidden and system folders, read the document How to show hidden files and protected operating system files in Windows.
                o For Windows NT 4.0 clients, the default is C:\WinNT\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\.
                o For Windows 98/Me clients, the default is C:\Program Files\Symantec_Client_Security\Symantec AntiVirus\.

      Automatically updating definitions using the .xdb file
      Symantec provides a batch file that you can schedule to update the definitions with the latest .xdb file. This batch file automatically downloads and extracts the latest .xdb file from a statically named executable (Navup8.exe), and copies the .xdb file to the appropriate location. For more information, read the document How to automatically update Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 8.x definitions without using LiveUpdate.


http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-s...002103012571948

Why is this better than both?

better than intelligent update: not manual
better than liveupdate: daily updates, liveupdate weekly, sometimes more

How to install the program "OnlineCounter 2004" silently?!

1.) Unpack the original installation package which you downloaded from the homepage before into a new folder. (This can be done with Winrar for example.) As a result there'll be a new setup.exe and some cab-files.

2.) Just call this setup.exe and use the following command line: "setup.exe /s log.txt"

Hints:
- The /s-switch will perform an unattended installation and a small log-file will be created in the same directory as the setup.exe.

- If you want to change the default installation directory, just edit the file "Setup.lst" according your needs.

- Obviously there's no official way to suppress the display of the installation routine while performing the installation. But at least one can suppress dialog boxes.

- If an error occurs during installation, you're displayed an error message and the installation process in no longer silent.

- If there are any problems, just open the "log.txt" from above and you may find out what went wrong.

Another stuff:
- OnlineCounter is a very nice German program for recording your online-times and keep an eye on your online-budget.

- This posting doesn't include how to set up the registry keys and so on.

K-Lite codec Pack
Guide for creating a custom silent installation for one of the K-Lite codec packs

STEP 1: Create a file called silent.inf with the following contents:

[Setup]
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\K-Lite Codec Pack
Group=K-Lite Codec Pack
NoIcons=0
Components=mpclassic, divxdec, divx, xviddec, xvid, 3ivxdec, 3ivx, wmv, vp3, vp6dec, indeo, indeo4, indeo32, msmpeg4, mp3audio, wmaaudio, ac3audio, oggvorbis, aac, musepack, voxware, ape, mp3lame, gspot, fourcc, disg400, disffdshow

Dir is the path of the destination folder. If you leave out this line, then it will install into the default folder.
Group is the name of the program group that will be created in your startmenu. If you leave out this line, then it will use the default groupname.
When you set NoIcons to 1, then no group will be created in your startmenu.
Components is a comma-separated list of the components that you want to be installed. If you leave out this line, then it will use the default settings for the components list.

Note: The reason why the settings.inf file is used is because command line calls are limited to 256 characters. And because of the long components list that will lead to problems when you include the components parameter in the command line call.

STEP 2: Put the silent.inf file in the same folder as the installer

STEP 3: Now you can perform a silent installation with the following command line call:
INSTALLERFILENAME /silent /loadinf=".\silent.inf"

PS. the full list of component names for the various packages can be found on http://www.k-litecodecpack.com/ --> tips & tricks section

Aspell English Dictionary: [Removed]

- Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe /silent
- Aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe /silent

Note: This is not the original installer for the english module. The original sucks and has no silent install. In fact, it is a wrapper to an installer that does have the silent option, but you have to do much to get it working the way you want. So, I re-wrote the installer. The source can be found in Aspell-en-0.50-2-3-Marticus.zip at the above URL. I hope it works for you.

More to come...

Regarding Bastian's December post on installing PuTTY, using the /SP- switch as mentioned on the same page he linked will skip the question. There is no need for the autoit script. The application was packaged using Inno's software, and thus all of these switches are supported: /sp- /silent /norestart

Installing PuTTY:
- putty-0.54-installer.exe /sp- /silent

http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.html

Also note /verysilent does not incorporate /norestart as is proven in the case of FilZip 3.0.1 which -does- require a reboot. Use /sp- /silent /norestart instead.

GhostScript & GhostView

These two have given me fits for awhile now. However, I think I have finally discovered and bypassed the underlying problem. Although there is probably a better solution than mine, it has thus far worked reliably.

Note: the following procedure is the same for both programs

STEP 1: Use a program such as WinZip to extract the contents of the exe file to a
directory of your choosing.

STEP 2: Change directories (cd\ command) to the root of the drive on which the
program is to be installed.

STEP 3: Change directories to the location of your program setup file.

STEP 4: Call your program setup file followed by the install path.

Changing directories to the actual location of the program setup file before invoking the setup file seems to be the key. If you use the same exact syntax but do not first cd to the proper directory(instead invoking it with path included), the program setup begins, but errors out complaining about failing to open "filelist.txt". For some reason, cd'ing to the directory of the setup file before invoking the setup, seems to do the trick.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2004

Syntax
Setup.exe [-s] -v"[-qn]pidkey=pidkeynumber[allusers=2][username=user][organization=organizationname] [installdir=directoryname]"

Parameters

Important
All parameters that follow the -v parameter must be included in quotes without spaces in between.

-s
Instructs the setup program to run without displaying the user interface.

-v
Passes parameters directly to the installer program, msiexec.exe.

-qn
Instructs the installer program, msiexec.exe, to run without displaying the user interface.

pidkey=pidkeynumber
Specifies the unique product key number required to perform the installation.

allusers=2
Installs Virtual PC for all users on the machine. If you do not include this parameter, the program is installed for the current user only.

username=user
Specifies a user name to associate with the installation. If you do not include this parameter, the installer program retrieves the name of the current user from the registry.

organization=organizationname

nVidia Display Drivers v61.77

1. Extract with WinRAR or similar
2. use setup.exe /s /v"/qb" to silently install.

NOTE: These drivers aren't WHQL certified, so Windows lets you know this (highly annoying). v61.76 drivers ARE WHQL certified, and I would imagine this method will work for these drivers also.

This area should be regrouped with letters as the darklyrics.com website. Anyway, here is my contribution, I didn't go through all 10 pages of the post cause it's really not practical, but here is the switch for Tag&Rename 3.15

CODE
start/wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\TagRename315\TagRename315.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /NORESTART

I don't know if all the switches are needed, gonna test that now, but there shouldn't be any problems
EDIT: Tag&Rename starts up at the end of install, I will have to script autoIT so it doesn't stays open

@draxx
why not install them during the Windows XP setup? Look for the compressed drivers thread on this forum, even though Serialz method doesnt work completely, it still uncompresses the drivers to C:\Driverz and you can add this path to the OemPnpDriversPath line in you winnt.sif


@marticus
try scripting someting with AutoIT 3... I did it cause it was prompting me for an error message about scsi drivers not found...
CODE
WinWaitActive("DAEMON Tools", "", 60)
Send ("{ENTER}")


Then had to do another one for the Device Wizard telling me it had finished installing the scsi drivers
CODE
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
WinWaitActive("Assistant Matériel détecté", "Fin de l'Assistant Ajout de nouveau matériel détecté")
Send("{ENTER}")



Those are separate .exe cause i was new to this and didn't know how autoit manages the lines. I run daemon.exe (my autoit script compiled to exe) before launching the daemon toolz installer. I run drivers.exe at the beginning of my batch file since it doesn't have a timeout it simply waits here, if the window never pops up it'll be closed when you reboot at the end of you multiple installations.

Hope this helped

Silent install of Apache 2.0

I have been unable to find any command likes for Apache so I am going to pass along what I have. It is great for creating autoinstall backups of web development machines.

Download the .msi file from the Apache Website.

Since it is an .msi file the standard /QB and /QN switches.

The problem is that the installer normally customizes several things by inputs from the user.

In order to get around this I use the following line:

Apache.msi /QB INSTALLDIR="%systemdrive%" APACHEDIR="%systemdrive%\Apache2\" SERVERDOMAIN="fill in the domain here" SERVERNAME="Fill in the complete server name here" SERVERADMIN="e-mail address of server admin"

example
Apache.msi /QB INSTALLDIR="%systemdrive%" APACHEDIR="%systemdrive%\Apache2\" SERVERDOMAIN="example.net" SERVERNAME="webserver.example.net" SERVERADMIN="admin@example.net"

Of course you will have to edit the line to use your settings.

Since each of my backups are for a particular computer, the info is hardcoded into the script but if you want to use this for multiple computers, it should not be to hard to update the information based on the variable settings on the current computer.

Install applications in any directory you want

Got stuck while trying to get a Wise Installer application to perform a silent install into the directory of my choice.
First I tried to change the programfiles variable by using:
set programfiles=X:\Program Files\CustomDir

This trick didn't work for the Wise Installer but the next one did laugh.gif
So far I have been using this for WinRAR and QuickPar.

Start Notepad and copy and paste the following code into it:

CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]
"ProgramFilesDir"="C:\\Program Files"


Save this as progfiles.reg in the root of your $OEM$\$1\Install directory.
Now you have a reg file with the default location of the Program Files directory.

Next we're going to customize this:

CODE
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]
"ProgramFilesDir"="C:\\Program Files\\Tools Compression"


Save this as progfilestmp.reg in the root of your $OEM$\$1\Install directory.

In the example of WinRAR the code in my startup.cmd would look like this:

CODE
ECHO.
ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.40
ECHO Please wait...
regedit /s %systemdrive%\install\progfilestmp.reg
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\ToolsCompression\WinRAR34\wrar340.exe /s
regedit /s %systemdrive%\install\progfiles.reg

Echo Moving WinRar Start Menu Items and Shortcuts
move "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\WinRar" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Tools Compression"
DEL /Q "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\WinRar"
RD "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\WinRar"


This installs WinRAR into the Directory I specified in progfilestmp.reg and also moves the Start Menu shortcuts to the directory of my choice.

I think this might be usefull, for me it is anyway newwink.gif

Visual FoxPro 8.0 unattended install with SP1

First, be sure that you have installed all the Prerequisites.

Download SP1 from the Microsoft website and extract it to any directory (for example, C:\VFP8SP1). There should be three files in it. The .msp is the one that really matters.

Copy the entire FoxPro 8.0 CD to the harddrive; lets say C:\VFP80\.
Apply the servicepack using the following
CODE
msiexec /p "C:\VFP8SP1\VFP8.0sp1-KB824071-X86-Enu.msp" /a "C:\VFP80\vs_setup.msi" /qn


Run C:\VFP80\setup\setup.exe in administrator mode to create an unattended ini file:
CODE
C:\VFP80\setup\setup.exe /createunattend unattended_VFP.ini

Make the appropiate settings. All the setting are stored in the ini file the you have specified (in this case unattended_VFP.ini).

To install FoxPro in unattended mode run:
CODE
C:\VFP80\setup\setup.exe /unattendfile unattended_VFP.ini

Here's a switch I found which works well as far as I know. Mostly useful for Dutch people (cuz it's a Dutch program) but there a few non-Dutch-speaking people who use it as well.

It's for Fill Threads Database. A program used to index Usenet, with a sort of supply and demand and stuff.

Here's my entry for Runonceex.cmd
CODE
REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE /D "FTD 3.6.4" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Extra\FTD3.6.4\FTDv3.6.4.exe /S" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 2 /D "COPY /Y %CDROM%\Extra\FTD3.6.4\profiles\*.* "C:\Program Files\FTDv3\profiles\"" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 3 /D "taskkill /IM FTDv3.exe" /f


Copying the profile-files only applies to people who already used the program. It can be found in the install folder. When it's the first time you install it, just leave that out.

Hope it helps.

PS: If there's an error in this code, don't hesitate to notify me smile.gif
