Anyone successful at silently installing it? What about Norton Firewall? Keep in mind all these apps are Version 2003.

Thanks guys

i use the german systemworks, they dont need activation
like the U.S. version.....

the problem is: a silent installation is always a FULL,
you cant do a silent user defined but: you can
trick a little bit. in my case, i dont want the "ghost"
and "password-manager". i thougt its enough to delete
their installfiles.msi. but setup will give an error.
an error too for create 0kb files with the install.msi as name.

so i use "Wise for windows installer 5.2 enterprise",
create 2 empty working msi files they do nothing, but the main.msi will acceppt them.

for a working silent installation, you have to use the file and
folder structure like on the NSW2004 cd.

my commandline is:

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\tempinstall\NSW2K4\nswsetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /QB" /f

With wise or any msi editor, you can deselect ghost and pm manager .Change their INSTALLLEVEL to a higher value than the main INSTALLLEVEL and they will not be installed. Save it as an mst (transform) and chain the transform to the msi file and you will get what you want.
