Shockwave install will not accept the arguments! When it goes to install it launched the exe like you clicked on it and does not accept the silent argument.

I went through some of the posts and noticed that someone else was having problems getting shockwave to install.

I am using Version 1.0 final.

Here is my code:

<execute display='Installing Flash and Shockwave Player...' program='%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\Applications\Shockwave\shockwave.exe' arguments='/s' />


This exact same switch works fine with using runonce or GUIrunonce! So there has to be some glitch with xplode.

Can you run it with logging and paste the relevant lines here please?

I think I may have found the problem. It doesn't seem to be your problem.

Shockwave /s works from RunOnce.inf but it does not work from a command prompt. I have no idea why.

I have searched the forums for different switches and none of them work through command prompt!

oh well!

try adding the .exe extension to the end of the filename

I do use it with the .exe extension. I was just being lazy when I typed the line!
