Hello

I was searching the same thing and on this post:
Link!

I read the following thing:

Quote

Also, some apps can be installed, and then copied over directly, they don't need an installer to import stuff into your "Windows\System32" and "Program Files" folders.
Some of these are -
1. Abiword 2.0.2
2. IrfanView 3.85 + plugins
3. mIRC 6.12
4. Mozilla FireBird browser 0.7
5. Mozilla ThunderBird e-mail client 0.4
6. MyIE2 web browser 0.9.13
7. Reget Download Manager 3.3
8. WinImage 6.10

So I guess we will try that!
Credits go to the poster prathapml off course!

I can confirm, just copy the directory an make a link

this is what I use... I do this so that irfanview is registered for all file types, and it creates a start menu program, plus irfanview does set some registry values.

runonceex.cmd

REG ADD %KEY%\175 /VE /D "Installing Irfanview" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\175 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Irfanview\Irfanview.vbs" /f

irfanview.vbs - posted previously - not mine, so im not takin credit

'Automatic, but not silent install of Irfan View

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
On Error Resume Next
WshShell.Popup "Do NOT MOVE the mouse an do NOT PRESS any button!",5," - Warning - ",48

'Run setup from location on hdd'
'you have to check the path !
WshShell.Run ("%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Irfanview\iview385.exe")

'if your hdd is slow, increase the next value
WScript.Sleep 7000

WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 2000

'Check the value!
'Change ALL shortcuts to your language !

WshShell.SendKeys "n"
WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "n"
WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "~"
WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "n"
WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "n"
WScript.Sleep 2000

'I think you have to change the next line to "y"
WshShell.SendKeys "y"

WScript.Sleep 2000
WshShell.SendKeys "~"
WScript.Sleep 2000

cleanup.cmd

xcopy "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Irfanview\Plugins\*.*" "%programfiles%\Irfanview\Plugins" /E /I /Q /H /R /Y

If I understand it right, I can install ifran view silent with my cmd file and this path?:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Irfanview\Irfanview.vbs /f


Or do I have to put this path under [GuiRunOnce] in the sif file??

The vbs file and the exe file I just have the same place.

Is that ok???

Thanks for help.

Do you mean this..

iview391.exe /silent /desktop=0 /group=0 /allusers=1 /assoc=1
IrfanView-all_plugins.exe /silent

desktop=0 or 1 (Desktop icon)
group=0 or 1 (Start menu group)
Allusers=0 or 1 (Install for all users)
Assoc=1 (Associate file types)

hi,

or to say it in XPlode-xml:

	 <execute display='Installing IrfanView 3.90...'  program='#xplode#\Applications\iview\iview.exe' arguments='/silent /desktop=0 /group=1 /allusers=1 /assoc=1'></execute>
 	 <execute display='Installing IrfanView PlugIns...'  program='#xplode#\Applications\iview\iplug.exe' arguments='/silent'></execute>

hope this helps a bit

cya
