Does anyone know if there is a switch for a silent install of Overnet that doesn't install the spyware ?

no-one in a right mind would put a switch in an installer that blocks something that they make profit on...

try overnet lite

Adobe has a silent switch, Winamp has a silent switch, need I go on?

@alanoll,

they are talking about switches to deselect the ad-/spyware in some apps...

I did this by simply zipping the contents of my overnet folder and creating a self-extracting exe from it. I have not tested it throughly, but it appears to work fine for me. Just make sure your "temp" and "incoming" folders are empty before you zip...

AFAIK the Overnet installer (not Overnet itself) downloads the spyware during installation. So just make sure there's no open internet connection.

This is definitely the case with the eDonkey betas.

One more reason to use eMule :)

zoster i understand what you are saying but i have had not so pleasant experiences with eMule and some people like overnet better than eMule like me. I would just say look for overnet lite. It uses inno setup.
