Does anyone have a way to get it to silently install without VBS or Javascript? Because those depend on time and not very accurate. Something like Nero switch ? (/SN=)

thanks.

you can use "setup.exe -R" (Attention: -R is case sensitive)
to create an setup.iss file. my command line looks like this:

REG ADD %KEY%\037 /VE /D "Partition Magic 8.01" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\037 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\tempinstall\pm801\Setup.exe -s -f1\"%systemdrive%\tempinstall\pm801\setup.iss"\" /f

This is a very good solution.
Because PartitionMagic is a Windows Installer Pack, I wanted to take the switches setup.exe /s/v/qn.
But during the silent intallation comes a error and the installation was interrupted.
So I maked a script.

Your solution is better and I can take it now. :jump: :jump:

Thanks

I see that. How do I input the registration?

you have to install pm8 1 time manually on
some pc, with the -R swich. this is the way
how the setup.iss is created (can be found in the \windows folder).
on this manual installation, you can normaly put in the
target path, your name and serial. all this will be stored
in the setup.iss.

Good, I found the setup.iss. Thanks.

I am using a batch file to install rather than runonceex.cmd, how would that work? I tried

Quote

D:\appz\PartitionMagic8\Setup\setup.exe -s -f1\"D:\appz\PartitionMagic8\setup.iss"

but did not work

Edit: I found the problem, the extra /

sorry for digging up an old thread but I'm just trying to understand something...

I followed the above to the letter, which created the setup.iss file...

I then placed the setup.exe and setup.iss file together in my PartitionMagic directory ready for unattended installation...

I also figured that I would need to place the PartitionMagic.msi file in this same folder as the above 2 files... is this correct?

Are there any other files that are required to be placed in this same directory?
