The HTML is nice but no need to sticky the thread itself.
We need a nice tidy sql based switch repository and someone who manages it.

I don't know the über-admins here but I'm sure they could install a nice mod/plug-in for the Invision Board.

Hi there. I'm new here. found a lot of usefull tips/switches but this 1 doesn't work for me.

O&O Defrag 6
Install Switch: /qn
Extraction: None
Notes:
Registry:

I've got O&O defrag version 6.5.851. The setup runs but not unattended, it keeps me asking to accept the EULA, install path and so on. Is this normal or do I make a mistake??
Thank you for helping

extrakt the exe File (oodpe_6_5_851_XXX.exe) with Winrar.

rename the O&O Defrag Professional Edition.msi to e.g. OODefrProf.msi and run it with the switches /qn
it works

For your Norton System Works 2k3...

I used:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Norton System Works 2003
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install3\Applications\NSW2K3\setup.exe /qn /norestart

ECHO Copying Subscription update
Copy /y "%systemdrive%\install3\Applications\NSW2K3\Catalog.LiveSubscribe" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveSubscribe"

if it dont restart its good enough

[codeblue]

my two cents......

Having compleated my unattended disk already and frequently searching for switchs, i feel a place where all switches are located is a good idea. One thing not mentioned yet is syntax. Weather creating an Install.bat or Runonceex.cmd the syntax will be different. So when posting the switches for apps, maybe their could be a couple of entries showing the different syntax for the various install methords.

When using the command "pskill", I get an error stating that the command doesn't exist (Bad command or file name).

*edit
nm... found out on google

[medhunter]

PSKILL.EXE should reside in windows\system32

or @ least browse fo it or put it in the app folder

[unabatedshagie]

What about a wiki page where everyone can add there own switches to it?

personally, if theirs a program i cant find a switch for, i use the search, which spans multiple topics, so it doesnt really matter if its in any order

but whatever floats your boat

What about Quicktime 6.5.1? I've done a search here and on google and can't find a silent install switch except creating a QuickTimeInstaller.ini file that you place with the full installer. Will this work if I include this app in GuiRunOnce section of my unattend file? Thanks.

Never mind, here's what I did:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing QuickTime 6.5.1
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\aig\apps\quicktime\QuickTimeFullInstaller.exe /qn

I kept the .ini file with the full installer and it installed silently at startup.

Alcohol 120% should use this switch!

ECHO Installing Alcohol 120% 1.9.2.1705
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Alcohol\setup.exe /qn Reboot=Suppress
ECHO.

I have used this forum a bunch over the last couple of weks and it's been VERY helpful so let me start by saying thank you! my question I hope is appropriate for this section.

Does anyone know what the switches are for the HP Softpaqs? Either before or after they are extracted? HP has been shall we say less than helpful....

Thanks Pokeypup

Anyone know the other options you can have in the silent install of QuickTime 6.5.x?

My quicktimeinstaller.ini looks like this:

Quote

[QTSETUP]license_option=0
no_dialogs=true
registration_dialog=false
supress_speed_dialog=true
install_qtjava=false
install_qd3d=false
show_sample=false
show_readme=false
show_programfolder=false
install_qtinfo=true

[QTPrefs]
ConnectionSpeed=modem
CSMultipleStreams=0

Anyone know if there are anymore options and if there is a document or URL to these as I have to manually "get-rid" of the System Tray icon that appears?

Many thanks (and I'm sure my QTPrefs section is wrong too) hehe

[strawberry]

glad i'll help for once eheh

go to this folder or similar on your computer
X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QuickTime

there should be 2 files, copy them in your quicktime folder and it will install silently and with registration etc..

problem there is still the taskbar icon, sorry for that..

Hey Star79,

Could you please provide more detail about the applications switches for Real Player 10,

I found out that you can run an install of realplayer just with a progress bar by using the -p switch after the executable. I have no problem unpacking realplayer and getting the setup.exe. But I dont quite understand how to implement the /r/f1"c:\setup.iss" part of it. Also, I'm trying to find a way to avoid the registration part of real player, which comes up when you launch real player for the first time. Is there a switch or reg key that I can tweak in order to prevent real player from trying to connect to its network for registration.

Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated

John
