Im trying to install software with a batch file. I want it unattended but when I run it a prompt keeps coming up asking the user if they want to install the software. This is the line im using. Did i miss something?

start /wait C:\Install\setup.exe /sPB

Depends on what software you are trying to install and switches the software installer allows.

You can probably run the setup.exe with a /help or /? switch to figure out what the switch is for a silent installation.

Otherwise, this question could be asked in the Software section where all types of silent installation is discussed. This is probably not appropriate for this section.

Thanks for the help. I am still very new to the site. I still have a hard time finding my post LOL. I thought I just posted in the OS section of the forms. Next time I will try to post in the correct form.

When I tried to get the help menu with /? and /help It just tried to install it. I got the prompt. To speed things up I think i will just create a .msi and be done with it. Go back and fig out my mistake later.
