hi,

i've just downloaded it and played around, but none of the standard silent switches work on it. It isn't a standard installer, but you can use InstallRite to make it install fully unattended.

hope this helps a bit

It uses a custom installer.

I made a SFX out of the Download Express Directory using 7zip. Placed it in $OEM$\$progs\Download Express. Then executed the 7zip file during RunOnceEx. I also exported these registry Keys:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.DE]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MetaProducts Download Express incompletely downloaded file]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MetaProducts]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\DownloadExpress]

Here is what my RunOnceEx entries for DEP look like.

REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "Installing Download Express 1.5" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "\"%programfiles%\Download Express\DEP15.exe\" -y" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S \"%programfiles%\Download Express\DEP.reg\"" /f


It works just fine.

You could also make an autoit script like I did for Mass Downloader which uses the same type of install as Download Express.
