This is in reply to a previous post (see reference at bottom).
It's not so hard to install GhostScript and Ghostview silently. But you need to mind the quotes, because if you don't, you get the error messages mentioned in the previous post.
I know the code is trivial , but I just want to tell people they don't have to follow the other somewhat more extensive method.
Unzip Ghostscript and GhostView in e.g. : install\Ghostscript and install\GSView directory. Put the following in your installation batch file: (btw. I prefer using %programfiles% instead of %systemdrive%).

cmdow @ /hid
@echo off
cd install\GhostScript
setupgs.exe "%programfiles%\gs"
cd ..\GSView
setup.exe "%programfiles%\gv"

Hitman Pro 2.03

Hitman Pro is a combination of many anti spyware programs such as Adaware, Spybot S&D, Spy sweeper and more. The program uses an AutoIT script to automaticly scan with all these utility's.

IMHO the best antispyware program ever!

Hi,
I have created an unattended windows install with SP2 and more recent Hot Fixes integrated. I've also included OffixeXP with SP3 and some other applications.

I am trying to allow a program called DVD2SVCD v1.2.2b3 to be silently installed. I have used the following code which I obtained from using the USSF.exe method (Universal Silent Switch Finder).

ECHO Installing DVD2SVCD 1.2.2 Build 3
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\DVD2SVCD\D2S122B3.exe /SILENT /SP- /NORESTART

It seems to work fine, however, during installation the setup will install a second program... Avisynth, and this part requires manual input.

How can I make this sub-install to run silently as well?

Thanks in advance.

The main setup file cannot be extracted, at least not by any method that I am aware of.
Apart from winrar, which programs are usefull with extracting setup.exe files?

Moin Mon,

no, there is no program to translate the code.
You have only the following possibilities,

just look at the icon to find out what installer it should be.
Check: http://www.windows-unattended.de/

so you will find an answer.

FreshDevices Fresh Download 7.24

This one kicked my butt the better part of an evening (fresh programs are supposed to just use /silent, but freshdownload asks for reboot for some reason), so to help someone else out here is what should be used.

/sp- /verysilent /norestart

You may sub /silent for /verysilent if you like to see the progress bar. Do not put /verysilent without /norestart or it will reboot without asking.

I found this solution here http://unattended.so.../installers.php , they have good explanations of the switches for nearly all installers on that page.

[jErk`]

Hi,

first of all I want to thank you. I found some switches i realy needed :-)


Well now:

Java 1.5.0
start /w jre-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe /L1031 /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=0 INSTALLDIR=C:\Programme\Java\JRE15 REBOOT=Suppress JAVAUPDATE=0"

- "/Lxxxx" is your local setting, see http://www.asphelper...ferenz/LCID.asp
- be aware of the the parameter order which has changed since 1.4


Arcobat 7.0
- http://www.adobe.com....jsp?ftpID=2709

Download & install, follow the instructions and you finally get a .exe file that *DOES NOT* start NetFeed Optimizer or what ever, just installs with the Settings you did.

This one works for Acrobat Writer, too, you can deploy with Serial# .. so on.


Office 2k3
start /w %systemdrive%\setup.exe /noreboot /qr ALLUSERS=2 CDCACHE=AUTO COMPANYNAME="<foo INC>" INSTALLLOCATION=%ProgramFiles%\Office2003 LOCALCACHEDRIVE=C PIDKEY=<YourCDKey>

- Note that the CD Key has to be without spaces or '-', just like 1234567890987654321
- ALLUSERS=2 is fine for us as we deploy in a DC environment with multiple user access to the clients. It means, you install Office 2k3 as 'Admin' and any further User on that Client gets his 'personalized' installation as soon as he starts. You may use ="1" which means, actually the same, but any user who wants to use office later on has to have administrator rights.


RealVNC 4.1
- Create a installation information file:
start vnc-4_1_1-x86_win32.exe /SP- /SAVEINF="rvnc.iss"
or create one like:

[Setup]
Lang=default
Dir=C:\Programme\RealVNC\VNC4
Group=RealVNC
NoIcons=1
Components=vncviewer

Note that /SAVEINF stores the file in %windir%, so mostly like c:\windows or c:\winnt

- Than install:
vnc-3.3.4-x86_win32.exe /SP- /LOADINF="vnc.iss" /VERYSILENT
or
vnc-3.3.4-x86_win32.exe /SP- /LOADINF="vnc.iss" /SILENT

/SP- suppresses the "do you want to install box"
/SILENT will display a progress bar
/VERYSILENT displays nothing


winrar
start /w wrar342d.exe /s


mIRC
I did not found a proper solution but i want stuff like 'uninstall' in 'Software' so I did:

winrar, pack c:\programs\mirc\, create a SFX with absolute paths. In advanced SFX options you may set set 'overwrite withouth asking' and 'automacially unpack without asking'

Than you need to import a *.reg. As there are alot of keys, to much to post, please export it yourself, you need:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChatFile]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\irc]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ChatFile]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\irc]
(+ all the keys inside)

and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\mIRC]
"DisplayName"="mIRC"
"UninstallString"="\"C:\\Programs\\mIRC\\mirc.exe\" -uninstall"

Now:
start /w <YourWinRARSFXFile>.exe
REGEDIT /S <YourRegExport>.reg


F-Secure (and hotfix*.fsfix)
That is infact very worse to make as there are alot of undocumentated things. If you realy want to deploy it to 15+ Workstations, try it! Its realy awsome when done. If you just have 3 clients that will be reinstalled any half year, keep it manually.

- Download & install the 'F-secure Policy Manager' from fsecure.com
- Download the F-Secure *.exe installation from fsecure.com.
- Run: Start - Programs - F-Secure Policy Manager Console - F-Secure Poliy Manger Console.
(The Password now is thatone you set up during installation of Policy Manager.)
- Click on "Installation Packages" Icon and import the *fsav*.EXE file you downloaded before.
- Export the Package into a *.JAR file.

- Get 'ilaunchr.exe'. (Maybe google for it)

start /w ilaunchr.exe <YourFsavJar>.jar /U

/U is unattended, please us a capital 'U', not 'u'.


** Hotfixes can be done the same way. **


Hummingbird
- Make a full installation.
- You'll find a file called 'sconfig' within the c:\programs\Hummingbird\Connectivity\<version>\Accessories\
- Create a installaton package
- and start it in unattend mode by:
setup.exe /S /Lxxxx /V"TRANSFORMS="<pathTo>\Admin.MST" /QN

- "/Lxxxx is your local setting, see http://www.asphelper...ferenz/LCID.asp


Fonts
Do not know if it was mentioned before but it wrecked my nerves!

If you want to import Fonts during a unattend installation you may realise that copy/xcopy will not work.
Its pretty easy at all. Just make a another self extracting winrar archive with a absolute path to %windir%\fonts (see mIRC section).

Maybe(!) on some Windows Versions you need to "start explorer c:\windows\fonts" so the explorer will initialize the fonts, too.


Something else

1)
For those of you using 'cacls' or want the set Registry/File/Folder/Security Permissions in a larger Windows Domain environment without AD (Like NT4PDC or SAMBA) you *realy* may want to have a look here:

- start - run - "mmc".
- Add the Snaps "Security configuration and analyses" and "Security Templates".
- Go "Security Templates" snap, and have a look at the templates in "%windir%\security\templates\".
The names are like "High Security Domain Controler", "root security" .. so on.
- Use one and click 'save as' <YourTemplate>.inf.
- Now edit the Settings, Serice Settings, User Security, ACLs, ...
- Save!
- Go "Security configuration and analyses" snap
- 'Open Database' (just type a name, it will create a new one) <YourDB>.sdb
- Import <YourTemplate>.inf
- Save!

Done! You can setup the policy by:
- secedit /configure /cfg %systemdrive%\<YourTemplate>.inf /db %systemdrive%\<YourDB>.sdb
(import it)

- gpupdate /force
(update the local policy now)


2)
If you want to connect a printer you mostly want to do two things. Either a Network/Local Printer, OR a Printer that uses a TCP/IP Port.

Network Printer (Like shared printer somewhere):
- rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /in /b "<PrinterName>" /f Drivers\<DRIVER>.INF /n \\<YourShare>\<PrinterShareName> /m "<PrinterName>"

This will include the file Drivers\<DRIVER>.INF with a driver so you may not select one manually. You realy should use the exact Name thats specified in the INF file for "<PrinterName>", otherwise it may fail.

Setup a TCP/IP Port and connect a printer:

- Make a reg file and import:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports\IP_<TheRemoteIP>]
"Protocol"=dword:00000002
"Version"=dword:00000001
"HostName"=""
"IPAddress"="<TheRemoteIP>"
"HWAddress"=""
"PortNumber"=dword:00000203
"SNMP Community"="public"
"SNMP Enabled"=dword:00000001
"SNMP Index"=dword:00000001
"Queue"="PASSTHRU"
"Double Spool"=dword:00000000

- You need to restart your Spooler Service now!
net stop spooler
net start spooler

- Than connect the Printer:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "<PrinterName>" /f Drivers\<DRIVER>.INF /r "IP_<YourRemoteIP>" /m "<PrinterName>" /Z


This will include the file Drivers\<DRIVER>.INF with a driver so you may not select one manually. You realy should use the exact Name thats specified in the INF file for "<PrinterName>", otherwise it may fail.

Paint.NET can be installed silently with no issues/problems. Tested earlier. Download this version from here 2.1B: http://fileforum.bet...ET/1096481993/1 OR here http://www.eecs.wsu....et/download.htm Its a rar archive and extracts to a single .msi file and use the following code in your RunOnceEx.cmd with path adjusted to suit you personal needs:

REG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "Installing Paint.NET V2.1B" /f 
REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\Apps\Paintdotnet\PaintDotNet_2_1B.msi /passive /norestart" /f

FileZilla & FileZilla Server

hey, this is my first post !
Filezilla and FileZilla Server are very usefull, but not very easy to install silently (and properly) ! If you don't have time to loose to find out how to make it work fine, here is my method :

start /wait FileZilla_2_2_13c.exe /S
start /wait FileZilla_Server_0_9_7.exe /S
taskkill /IM "FileZilla Server Interface.exe" /F
net stop "FileZilla Server"
REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /V "FileZilla Server Interface" /F
sc config "FileZilla Server" start= demand

Ok, the switches were easy to find, but at the end of the installation, FileZilla Server and its interface are running. Moreover, I didn't want Filezilla Server to start with Windows.
The interface is stopped by taskkill (fore XP Home users, you have to put taskkill.exe in your system32 folder). The "net stop" command is fine to stop services like "FileZilla Server.exe" (you could also use taskkill, but I think this way is more aesthetic ).
But, there is still a registery key in "HKLM/.../run" which can be removed by "REG DELETE" and then, the last (but not the least) thing : make the FileZilla Server service run only on demand (I think it is safer). You can use the "sc config" which is avaible in both Home and Professional editions of WinXP. Notice that the space after "start=" is essential !

ok that's it, I hope my english was clear enough !
Amusez-vous bien !

Stole a bugmenot because signups suck, anyway, here is some info.

A lot of installers use generic switches. If yours isn't listed check out http://unattended.so.../installers.php

They have a lot of information for specific installers and for repackaging if necessary. Enjoy
