I recently emailed Google themselves and was told that there aren't any switches for the new toolbar installer, I emailed them back and complained about it, I also noticed they include one now that goes on your taskbar, but unsure if there are any switches for it at this time either.

Maybe someone else can enlighten us as to how to go about installing one of these features, I personally like the toolbar one best.

Me too...

I ran into the same problem, manually install the toolbar and make a copy of the file %PROGRAMFILES%\Google\GoogleToolbar1.dll

Make your batch file copy that DLL to wherever you want it then run regsrv32.exe /s path\to\dll\GoogleToolbar1.dll

dirty method but it works.. we'll have to manually install the toolbar every time a new version comes out and copy the new DLL until they put the switches back.

Wonder why they dont work anymore??

since I put zonealarm pro on, the google toolbar is pretty useless to me anymore....
but I still use www.google.com as my homepage/search engine

i build a home made MSI installer to fix this...

Very simple, man!

Switches are not the sole solution in every situation.

Listen, The game! I'm joking to you.

Your MSI is good but needs some cleaning.

Stay tuned.

Looks like the /q switch works again in 2.0.113

[`Felix`]

Google Toolbar

Switch: /s /qn (or /q /d)
Full syntax: GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /s /qn
Full syntax: GoogleToolbarInstaller.exe /q /d
Extraction needed: No
Note: /d installs Google Toolbar without Advanced Features

If you want to tailor the way the google toolbar looks after install - simply configure the look and options for the toolbar and then close IE. Open regedit and then export

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\NavClient\1.1\Options]

and add it to your regtweaks.reg file.

Enjoy!

So the latest downloadable googletoolbarInstaller is silent switch compatible already.
