I try this now (it seamed to work):
You must extract the file!



Ghostscript

setupgs "c:\specific_path"
note - only need quotes if a space is in the path, and don't include
gs8.xx, as the setup program adds that and it will be duplicated if
you add it.



Ghostview

setup "c:\specific_path"
note - only need quotes for a path with spaces, and don't need gsview
subfolder, as the setup program defaults to this and if you include it
you'll get c:\specified_path\gsview\gsview for example.

Hm,

no this wonīt worked correctly.

I got an errormessage like: "filelist.txt" not found. But if I run the installation via batch it works fine blink.gif

Edit:

I made a script vor AutoIt... and this worked yes.gif

CODE

Send("{ENTER}")
WinWaitActive("AFPL Ghostscript Setup")
Send("{TAB 2}")

I need to download the newer version

any way I played with the old...
you doNOT need to make a directory first


extract the files
to a working directory

your path will be different
%XPCD%\ACDSee\gs704w32
%XPCD%\ACDSee\gsv44w32

and this is the setupfile location
%XPCD%\ACDSee\gs704w32\setupgs.exe
%XPCD%\ACDSee\gsv44w32\setup.exe

all put together

CODE
start /D%XPCD%\ACDSee\gs704w32 /wait %XPCD%\ACDSee\gs704w32\setupgs.exe "C:\Program Files"
start /D%XPCD%\ACDSee\gsv44w32 /wait %XPCD%\ACDSee\gsv44w32\setup.exe "C:\Program Files"


also from the first post you need to spell this coorect and put it in quotes
programm files doesn't == "C:\Program Files"
