/S works fine for me too.

Or you can use the $OEM$ means of installing Avant Browser. All you have to do is install Avant Browser as normal and get it to create a shortcut on your desktop.

Now go to the c:/Program Files and then copy the folder Avant Browser to $Progs under $OEM$. When unattended installing XP, this will also install Avant Browser. As well. No registry is needed for Avant Browser.

Place the shortcut in the $DOCS\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ so it will be in the Start Menu after installing XP.

Yes, this works. Avant Browser will generate a new profile for the current user in C:\Documents and Settings\name\Application Data\Avant Browser and set it up for the user.

Pros: No setup required, thus no adding to batch file required, thus saving you time.

Cons: Requires you to perform the above steps for each new version of Avant Browser.

Another sort-of con: manual uninstall necessary (although it can be done with script)

For avant browser, and many other IE-shells (browsers), the best and quickest way to install unattended would be the one Winxptwker describes above.

I downloaded the latest version of Avant today and included it with my unattended install. I used the /s and had no problems.

I would like to get the settings for the registry to remove the donation screen and possibly set some default settings like the web email I use and to turn off the system tray (among others).

Anyone figured this out yet?

Go to your %userprofile%\Application Data\Avant Browser folder on your computer. Just copy that and add a batch (or winrar installer) file after the silent Avant install to copy that entire folder over the original. I use "%currentuser%\Application Data\Avant Browser" for the path in the batch.

I FIGURED THIS OUT! There is no need for vbs scripts!

You all who can't get the silent install to work need to use /S rather than /s <-- THE SWITCH IS CASE SENSITIVE.

Just use /S and all is smooth!

I saved avant setup to my desktop

do I use the following to silently install avant ?

"%userprofile%\desktop\absetup.exe" /s

and then delete it after the install ?

DEL /q "%userprofile%\desktop\absetup.exe" /s
