First Class:

Extract downloaded file:
FC8200US.exe -extract_all:"C:\Temp"

Create setup.iss (from the extracted folder):
setup.exe /r
The answerfile will be in C:\Windows

Silent install:
X:\FC82\Setup.exe /s /sms /f1X:\FC82\Setup.iss
or
\\SRVNAME\SHARE\Setup /s /sms /f1\\SRVNAME\SHARE\Setup.iss

PowerISO

PowerISO30.exe /S

Using that switch will not make the program define it's file asociations, you can do that later inside the program itself.

i finaly found some HP Softpaq switches on a forum

Quote

I do a lot of unattended installs of Windows an find that extracting or silently installing some of the HP Softpaq drivers is quite troublesome. Over time I've discovered a number of options that may be helpful:

* "SPxxxxx.exe is the SoftPaq to unpack
* "-pdf" is a runtime switch that overrides the build parameters
* "-f" is a runtime switch that overrides the default path set at build time
* "-s" instructs the package to unpack in silent mode, skipping the Welcome, License, and Directory screens
* "-e" instructs the package to extract only, that is, do not run the component installation program.
* -s -a -silent -reboot (Good for silent installs.)

Diskeeper 10 Professional

Switch: /S /v/qb or /qn
Example: dskkpr.exe /S /v/qb

No registration window
The "/S" has to be in CAPS or install will fail, this is the EXE file no need to extract

Opera 9.01 International

Silent & Invisible:

/S /v/qn

Extraction needed: No

Make sure you have all switches exactly the way it is shown above! Slash, capital "S", space and then lower case "v" followed by slash and lower case "qn"

Dunno if anyone needs or wants this, just came across the thread hunting for an opera switch. Since i didn't find it i post it (after having done the famous command "/?" on the opera exe....).

(i don't mention that it took me 30 minutes to actually have that idea....)

IE7 RC1

To install this silantly just download the package and do this

START /WAIT %SystemDrive%\updates\hotfix\ie7\IE7RC1.exe /quiet /norestart

Its as easy as that.

Not exactly mainstream apps, but could always be useful to somebody else...

Atmel AVR Studio 4.12 and SP3 for Atmel AVR Studio 4.12:
Both use an Installshield installer (-R to record to setup.iss, -s for silent install). Select W/O USB driver if you don't want that to popup (can easily be installed later, and no use unless you've got like a USB JTAG ICE or such)

Software for Tekpower lab equipment (multimeter, adj power supplies, etc - for RS232 comms) uses installshield as well (same switches, -R, -s)

CodeVisionAVR C Compiler: password protected Inno installer:
setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /PASSWORD=passwordgoeshere

ImageCraft ICCAVR seemingly has no switches (home made installer?) You have to capture/repack it.

I'll spare you guys the really weird/unusual stuff

[edit] More stuff:

PerfectDisk Command Center 8
Installshield
-r to record, -s [-f1] [-f2] as usual

WinMerge 2.4.10
Inno
/VERYSILENT /SP-

SQL2005 Service Manager 1.0.0.10
MSI
/qb or /qn

Unleash It v2.4.1.0
NSIS
/S

GhostDoc 1.9.5 (for 2005; v1.3.0 for 2003)
MSI
/qb or /qn

The Regulator 2.03
MSI
/qb or /qn

Console 2.00 Beta
No installer!
Use $OEM$ or make a SFX

Here is a tool to assist in the installation of Adobe Acrobat that I just happened to stumble across. I don't think it's been posted anywhere but it's direct from adobe, here ya'lls go.

Because I am lazy,

I use the free addition of Caphyon's Advanced Installer to create my own *.msi slip stream installers. I used it for sysinternals applications, putty, WinDirStat, TrueCrypt, etc ... The standard cmd line options for *.msi are supported, so /quiet works. I even used it, again because I am lazy, to install all my quick launch shortcuts. I prefer doing this because the uninstaller is included for free and I can tweak how I want the apps installed

here is the link: http://www.caphyon.com/

Adobe Reader 8.0:

Files required:

AcroRead.msi
Data1.cab

All other files may be deleted.

Silent Installation:

msiexec /i AcroRead.msi /qb

Auto-accept EULA:

REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\AdobeViewer" /V "EULA" /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F

Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT necessary to also add this to HKeyCurrentUser.

For all who don't have the switches for PORT95NT.exe, here they are. Copy and paste to your RunOnceEx.cmd

This is a module for LCD displays for the parallel port. Looked on the board and couldn't find anything.

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "PORT95NT" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\applications\port95nt\port95nt.exe /s /a /s" /f

MCAFEE VIRUSSCAN V10 and SPAMKILLER V10 (2006)
Hi all,
Im new to this "posting in forums thing" but have been here for yonks. I have been struggling to work out Mcafees Virusscan V10 for the past 3 days. Its got a nasty little zipped file called vsoins.ui and its passworded so you can't get in and change the install behaviour. I was stumped to find a way to silently install it. Anyway, last night I thought I'll have a break from it and move on to Mcafees Spamkiller V10. I cut the spamkiller folder from an Internet Security 2006 OEM CD and ran the setup.exe to watch it and lo and behold it installed "Very Silent" straight from the CD, I thought wow, dont have to do anything with that one, anyway, I went back to the same CD and did the same with Virusscan, and it too installed silently. SO what I couldn't do with the virusscan CD Was already done for me on the Internet Security CD.

Hope this helps anyone else trying to silently install this V10 Mcafee...

On a side note- I made a winrar SFX file to do this because Mcafee deletes the source folder on reboot. very annoying
Is that a correct post for here? it is a contribution I think.

Hey do I get flamed if I ask how to silently install Limewire......

Just kidding guys.

CSDiff
Switch: -s [case sensitive]
Full syntax: CSDiff50.exe -s
Extraction needed: yes, from csdiff.zip
Program Site:http://www.component...SDiff/index.htm

This is a file and folder differencing tool, my favorite.

This uses Ghost Installer, which PEID doesn't seem to recognize.

-----

XMLPad 3
WMHelp XMLPad 3.0.1 setup , although an .EXE, has an MSI inside which can be extracted with Universal Extractor...so you can just install that silently.
Program Site: http://www.wmhelp.com/index.htm

Winrar:

In WinRAR 3.70 we added -d<path> SFX option, so you can
try to use it like this:

wrar37b2.exe -s "-dc:\program files\winrar37"

It is not supported by earlier WinRAR versions.
