Since recent threads have got cluttered with requests, I've decided to make a new thread for Application Switches only. Please keep in mind that any requests will be DELETED. So, contributions only please, which will then be added to the main list. I would like to thank aitf311 and ViRuS2k for compiling most of the switches together.

A couple of extra options for Quicktime 6.5 installer, add to the [QTSETUP] section in the opening post:

[QTSETUP]
INSTALL_QUICKLAUNCH_ICONS=false
INSTALL_DESKTOP_ICONS=false

this is a vbs script that IcemanND wrote for me to use windows x 6.1 for messenger to use it just change the number of downs to the skin of your liking and of course change the sleep times to fit your computer also

dim WshShell, iLoopTimeWait
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
iLoopTimeWait = 500

Function Connect2Window(iTime, sWindowName)
Do until WshShell.AppActivate (sWindowName)
WScript.Sleep iTime
loop
End function

WshShell.Run app & "msn61-winx.exe"
connect2window ilooptimewait, "MSN Messenger 6.1 - Windows X"
WshShell.SendKeys "{Tab}"

WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
Connect2Window iLoopTimeWait, "MSN Messenger 6.1 Setup"
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
wscript.sleep 5000

WshShell.SendKeys "%a"

WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
wscript.sleep 60000

WshShell.SendKeys "{Tab}"

WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN 10}"
wscript.sleep 5000
WshShell.SendKeys "%a"
wscript.sleep 20000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"

WScript.Sleep 1000

WINISO53

Extraction not needed:



I run taskkill because WinISO is similar to IsoBuster and wants to open up after installation.


The Old Dude

there is an error (daemon tools):



correct syntax



official switch:

Windows Messenger:

messenger.msi /qn

Instead of using a vbs, you can add msmsgs=off to the [Components] section of winnt.sif to prevent the installation of Windows Messenger.

I have a correction. In the first post it lists the following for the Google Toolbar:

Google Toolbar

Switch: /s /qn
Full syntax: GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /s /qn
Extraction needed: ?

Unfortunately that did not work for me. So I emailed Google and they responded back with the following:

Google Toolbar

Switch: /d /q
Full syntax: GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /q /d
Extraction needed: No
Notes: /d will install the toolbar without it's advanced features and is optional. [EDIT] CASE IS VERY IMPORTANT! I tried it with /Q /D and it did not work. With /q /d it worked great.

I hope this helps people out.

Thanks go out to the Google Toolbar team which responded back to my request very quickly.

Sorry this ended up in the wrong place 1st time.

FreshUI is not very popular compared to TweakUI, but it is still useful at times.
The good news for those working on silent application installations for use on unattended XP CDs is that it can be run as a silent install.

Setup file type: Inno Setup

Switch: /silent


You can download the installation file (744Kb) from the FreshUI download page.

Note: You can use the same switch on the other common FreshDevices applications such as FreshDiagnose and FreshDownload.

doesn't work for me....

I'm using v3.44 and at the end of the installation a reboot message pops up.... anyone who knows how to get rid of this (except for a VBscript, I mean switches)
EDIT: found a switch: /noreboot, but it doesn't work....

when i install the k-lite codec pack using runonceex using the same switch as the quicktime and real alternatives (i think: /VERYSILENT /-SP not sure off hand) it installs ok but i get an error about can't delete a codec with the name iac25_32.ax, is this a known problem and has anyone else had this?

edit: sorted, using just /verysilent and running it above most programs seems to do the trick.

If anybody cares (I did so someone else might) here is the way to install MS Money 2004 on winXP (code from RunOnceEx.cmd):



The BOOTSTRAPPERLAUNCH=yes parameter is key to running the MSI file directly, instead of trying to use the setup.exe. The syspack needs to be installed first though, hence the order above.

For deamon tools....have you tried using the switch:



If you notice, supress has only one "p" and not two. Worked for me on my Personal Firewall.


The Old Dude

For Adobe Acrobat X.X modify the ABcopy.ini file with SN# and silent install

umm...aaronxp, i tried the /qn switch for nsw 2003, but it didn't work. kept giving me errors. /qb worked however.

edit: correction, the /qn reboot=suppress was giving errors. /qn or /qb used by themselves works.

Lavasoft Ad-Aware 6 free Build 181


If you want to install Ad-Aware 6 in a language other than english:

1. Install it in any computer

2. Install the language pack and select your language

3. Copy from "%ProgramFiles%\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware 6\Lang" the three files correponding to your language (YourLanguage.bmp / YourLanguage.det / YourLanguage.ini)

4. Add these YourLanguage.* files to your Windows unattended CD (<cddrive>\$OEM$\install\Applications\Adaware)

5. After Ad-Aware 6 is installed, these files should be copied to "%ProgramFiles%\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware 6\Lang"

6. After logging on, select your language as the default language (this selection is stored in prefs.ini).


Sample code:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Lavasoft Ad-Aware 6 Build 181
ECHO Please, wait ...
start /wait c:\install\Applications\Adaware\aaw6.exe /silent
rem Copy files for your language
copy /Y c:\install\Applications\Adaware\YourLanguage.* "%ProgramFiles%\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware 6\Lang" >nul
ECHO End - Lavasoft Ad-Aware 6 Build 181

Microsoft IntelliPoint 4.12 RETAIL

The OEMSETUP.EXE trick did not work for me, but here is something that did work:
MSIEXEC.EXE /i "%path to setup folder%\IP4_1.msi" MM="MM" REBOOT="ReallySuppress" /q

Update of the method for installing Nero 6
START :
u need the both exe nero6xxxx.exe and nero6xxxx_<lng>.exe
with winrar, u extract the both files in 2 folders like that
<yourpath>\nero
<yourpath>\nero_lng
u pick up the setup.exe form the first path and u copy it in the second path
(to erase the setup.exe for the language wich is not really cool for silent install)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
then you can use two methods to install the 2 packages
1st method :
use the following commands:
update the registry with a regfile containing the key see in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info]
and then :
nero\setup.exe /silent /noreboot
nero_lng\setup.exe /silent

2nd method :
repack the to setup files with winrar to make 2 sfx exe (both with the same setup.exe form 0)
then
in the nero.exe u obtained put the following comment :

Setup=setup.exe /SFX /SN=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx /WRITE_SN /SILENT /NO_UI /NOCANCEL /NOREBOOT
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
Title=Nero 6.0- 6.3.0.3 Ahead Software AG
------------------
where xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx is your serial number
in the langage setup put the following comment :

Setup=Setup.exe /SFX /SILENT /NO_UI /NOCANCEL /NOREBOOT
TempMode
Silent=1
Overwrite=1
Title=Nero 6.0 - <your lang> Language Installer

and launch the 2 setup during your installation....
Et voilà...

Easy CD Creater 6.0 almost silent install


I have tried using the /qb and /qn switches niether one worked,but the /qr switch does.
The /qr switch is used for a reduced interface. The reduced interface show a large status disply of the install but does not ask for any input.


SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qr REBOOT=Suppress REBOOTPROMPT=S"

To have your system reboot automaticaly after the install completes change REBOOT=Suppress to REBOOT=FORCE

The REBOOTPROMPT=S removes the reboot promt when the installation finishes

ACDSeeSystems MSI type installs via Cmd Line: Custom Actions after /QN

License Key PARAMETER for all ACDSee MSI products:
SLL_LICENSENUMBER=XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX

Need to suppress a reboot? If yes,
REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

Do we want to register the proggy with a name? If yes,
USERNAME=YOURNAME or USERNAME="Your Name"

CMD Line / Batch Examples
ACDSee 5.0.1 is in a folder @ C:\SilentSetups\ACDSee 5.0.1 Standard.msi. We do not want to enter a USERNAME (FYI: COMPANYNAME is a valid parameter for those who need it). However, we do want to register and suppress a reboot to let other installs follow.

Microsoft Proper (recommended):
msiexec.exe /I "C:\SilentSetups\ACDSee 5.0 Standard.msi" /QN SLL_LICENSENUMBER=XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

This also works (we will add our name & do a PowerPack install of v6.0.2):
"C:\SilentSetups\ACDSee 6.0.2 PowerPack.msi" /QN USERNAME="IrfanView Is Free" SLL_LICENSENUMBER=XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

Easily Overlooked:
1. Quotes are needed if a parameter's value has spaces. (See above, USERNAME=).
2. PARAMETER=VALUE , not PARAMETER = VALUE. (No spaces!)


Installling a setup.exe? Use:
<path>setup.exe /s /v"/qn PARAMETER=VALUE PARAMETER=VALUE" (We are passing parameters to msi bundled in an exe so make sure /v"/qn does not become /v "/qn

Example: ACD mPower Tools 1.0.2.exe - Silent, UserName, License, Suppress Reboot
"C:\SilentSetups\ACD mPower Tools 1.0.2.exe" /s /v"/qn USERNAME="Why does ACDSee's DB always freeze?" SLL_LICENSENUMBER=XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS"

**Note** ACDSEE will install per user. Adding ALLUSERS=1 parameter will make ACDSee programs available for all users of a computer.

Total Commander 6.01

• Download the installer.
• Using Total Commander itself, open the installer using CTRL+PGDN
• Copy install.inf to the other pane using F5. You could also use your favorite packer program like winzip, winrar,... but why bother if you have TC?
• Edit install.inf as follows:

• See the section [Languages] to know your language number. If you are reading this forum, you are smart enough to figure out the rest of the file.
• Put install.inf back in the installer (copy it back using F5).
• To do an unattended installation, just run the modified installer.
• If you are a registered user, copy the file wincmd.key in the installation folder.

Thought I'd add this, as in my searching I've not seen it...

When installing Futuremark's PCMark 2004 app, you need to have both Windows Media Player 9, and Media Encoder 9 installed first.

I've seen the switches for WMP9 in here (but not the Media Encoder), and tried them on the Media Encoder. Worked perfectly.

So....

Switch: /Q:A /R:N

NOTES;

I noticed it worked correctly and didn't require me to enter my name/serial when I put the registration entry before the install entry in the .cmd file.

The info in the registration.reg file I copied from my current Registry files from my original standard install of Homesite 5. Install yours normally, and copy this (your) info from your Registry afterwards for use in the Unattended CD.

My install folder for Homesite 5 (on the XP cd) is 14.4 MB.

1.3 Installation & Uninstallation
To install FastFolders, simply run "FFSetup.exe". The Setup program will guide you through all necessary steps. If you want to remove FastFolders from your computer, select "Uninstall" from the FastFolders program group or use "Add/Remove Software" in the Windows Control Panel.

Unattended setup: if you want to install FastFolders automatically, without user interface, please include the installation path as a command line parameter. Also, any file included in the command line will be copied to the installation path by the setup program. Here is an example:

FFSetup.exe "C:\Program Files\FastFolders" License.dlc

This command line will install FastFolders to the default installation path and copy the license file "License.dlc" to the installation path. "License.dlc" must be in the same folder as "FFSetup.exe" so that the setup program can find it.

After unattended setup, a text file "FFSetup.log" will be created. It contains the result of the installation.

Avant Browser

I have discovered a clover way of silent installing Avant Browser (any version). You can do the .vbs install or do this:

1. Install Avant Browser on a working install of Windows.
2. Go to %systemdrive%\Program Files\Avant Browser\ or where you installed Avant Browser.
3. Copy the contents of the folder to a folder called Avant Browser in your $Progs folder if you are using the $OEM$ method.
4. Copy the shortcut leading to %systemdrive%\Program Files\Avant Browser\iexplore.exe to your start menu folders.
5. When you slient install XP, Avant Browser will automatically be copied over.

Avant Browser WILL WORK this way. I tested it and it works without using the installer.

What's more! See in Lang folder. Delete any languages you don't think you'll need. I've deleted all but the English one. Still works! Avant didn't complain.

Available switches for Spybot S&D 1.2 -- looked around the forum and couldn't find any so I found these @ appdeploy.com

Spybot S&D 1.2 switches -- here is link to the page

Here is a list of command line parameters that the Spybot-S&D main executable (spybotsd.exe) supports:

/taskbarhide
Runs Spybot-S&D completely hidden (no window, no taskbar icon), so make absolutely sure you use it only in combination with /autoclose (otherwise it would remain in memory sitting idle). Useful only in combination with /autocheck, /autoupdate or /autoimmunize, as it cannot be controlled when completely invisible.
/minimized
Starts the window minimized.
/uninstall
Uninstalls Spybot-S&D. This command line parameter is very outdated - unins00.exe should be used instead!
/blinduser
Starts with support for blind users (special menus).
/autoupdate
Does an update after starting the program.
/autocheck
Starts scanning immediately.
/autofix
Fixes problems after scan.
/autoclose
Closes program after it has scanned or updated.
/autoimmunize
Runs the immunization at program start.
/onlyspyware
Fixes only spyware (red) entries with /autofix, leaving all usage tracks as they are.
/easymode
Starts with easier interface for newbies.
And here is a list of command line parameters that the Spybot-S&D installer (spybotsd12.exe) supports:

/silent
Will display the progress during installation, but not the wizard.
/verysilent
Even the progress will not be shown. Errors etc. would still be shown.
/nocancel
Disables the Cancel and Close button. Useful with /silent.
/dir="x:\dirname"
Installs into that directory instead of the default one.
/group="folder name"
Installs into a program group of that name instead of the default one.
/noicons
Avoids creation of any icons for the installed softwae.
/components="comma separated list of component names"
Installs the given components instead of the default ones. Components are main, blind (icons for blind users), language (all language files) and skins.

GOOGLE TOOLBAR

Hi, i've been working on a way to install Google toolbar along with my hotfixes.

I've tried many things and i found that the google toolbar was only a dll. So i used Iexpress and created a .exe.

In the command line, i put: regsvr32 -s -i thenameofthedll.dll

I put the usual options and it works.

Since my hotfixes come when i'm able to use commands from my Os, i found that this method was the better one since i've tried to put switches on the original file and it didn't work as i wished.

Tell me what you think ?

ECHO.
ECHO Bezig met installeren van Google Toolbar
ECHO Even wachten...
start /wait \\ghost_server\d\install\Applications\google\GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /q

While looking for switches for irfanview I found the following in the irfanview FAQ:


These options were introduced with the latest 3.90 version.
