Does anyone know some switches to install grabit silently?

/silent works but prompts for yes or no before beginning and opens website at the end of install.

This is my method.I already have Grabit setup and running the way I like it, the groups are installed and updated.

I then have a batch file that copies the contents of the Grabit directory (as well as other files) in Program Files to the directory where I store my unattended cd files prior to burning, this is BootableDVD, the files go in the $Progs directory
CODE
XCOPY "%ProgramFiles%\Grabit" "BootableDVD\$OEM$\$Progs\GrabIt\" /r/s/e/y
REG EXPORT HKCU\Software\Shemes BootableDVD\$OEM$\$1\install\grabit.reg
The last line exports the key with the settings for the program.This will not install a shortcut as one is installed to the quicklaunch bar during Windows setup.When Windows has installed the Grabit directory will have been copied to Program Files and should be updated from the last time you ran it.

I then run the registry key from RunOnceEx (at the end) with the tweaks and other reg files.

hmm...

I shall have to try that. Thanks benners.

I use GrabIt too for some reason (haven't found much better I like), and was curious as to how to save the groups. The setings are easy as they are in the registry, but I really don't like downloading about 1 gig to get my groups back up to date (thats alot of groups to update)

@Alanoll
I agree about the updates, especially the DVD groups and a.b.multimedia, loads of headers depending on retention times.As I said, with the batch file one click and all the updated groups are ready to burn to the new unattended DVD.

Any probs post here and well sort something out.
