Hi

I am trying now already for some days to instal some of mine apps.
I have searched and red the forums for the switches to use and tryed them all.
Nothing seems to work for me and I think it is because al those switches using;
apps_name.msi and I have only apps_name.exe (adobe reader, deamontools).

I have searched the web for those msi but cant find them on the homepages.
I now realy stuk.

Please can someone get me on the right track again.

Thanks

looks to me like you guessed at half the switches.

look here for Acrobat: http://unattended.ms...dobereader6.htm

When the Daemon tools installation starts up, (not the first one, but the ACTUAL installation, there are two windows) go to your temp folder, and in a subfolder in there is the MSI.


Winzip isn't /qn.

Alanoll

I Know That winzip isn't going to work that way. I had already found a topic about winzip. That is why I put rem in front of it to take a look at it in a latter stadium.

About adobe I think a took the exact line from msfn?
ECHO.
ECHO Installing Adobe Reader 6
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader6\AdbeRdr60_enu_basic.exe -p"-s /v\"/qn\""


Wht is wrong with mine?

Okee going to try to get the msi from daemon the way you described.

Thanks for your help sofar.

Okee fixed the adobe instal (didn't read that wel) grabed the cache folder under windows, and instaled with the .msi works fine.

I am now working on daemon tools got a msi the way Alanoll told me to. But now getting the mesage "inproper comand line parameters" (don't know the english word for parameters).

Must be a wrong switch I think. Going to look again for switches with the search. I think I will get it to work for me.

Okee found a nother key that works for me
daemon.msi Reboot=Suppress /qn" /f


At first I had put a / between .msi and Reboot that is why it didn't worked the first few times.
