Is there any way of putting 1-100% in the start.cmd file for every install as some take a long time like office 2003 and ie 7.?

Many thanks

The only thing that comes to mind is to use a scripting language such as AutoIt and script the entire installation. That way you can control % installed for each application include the total installation package. The question you would then have to answer is whether you increment the % completed based on files installed or actual time. If its time then you're going to have to measure it somehow (good luck!)... files installed won't be time accurate... is it worth the hassle? I would say no! Sit back and enjoy watching your unattended installation work without you!
