Hi everyone !

I searched the forum but could not find silent installation switches for Anti-Hacker. Does anyone know what to do ?

I tried unpacking the exe file and I get two msi files ( one issscript.msi and the application msi ) similar to Kerio Personal Firewall.

However, trying to run those silently did not work. I tried the usual /S /v/qn switches but without success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks,
Alex

If you can't find any switches, you could search this forum for any VBscript. It's easy editable, so it'd prolly be easier!

issscript.msi /qn (first)
theother.msi /QR (second)

I guess!

Hey !

@Mazin:

Thanks, I tried your switches. Issscript.msi seemed to work with the /qn switch but Anti-Hacker.msi with the /QN switch resulted in an error message (see attached picture).

Using the /QR switch as you suggested did not work either ( got an error message saying that this installation could not be installed through the msi package and one should use the setup.exe --- it was in German so I am not attaching a picture.

Thanks, I will probably do that if there is no other choice but I would prefer an application switch. Looks nicer and does not allow the user to somehow use the mouse or keyboard thereby accidentally causing the script to break.

If there are more ideas, please keep them coming !

Then the app installation is restricted.

Well! No problem.


Try one of these solutions:

your.exe /s /v"/qn REBOOT=Suppress"

If /qn doesnt work, use /QR

OR

issscript.msi /qn (first)
your.exe /QR (second)

EDIT: Oh! I saw your pic.

I think this is InstallShield. If so, then you can prepare a setup.iss.

Hey Mazin,

you a genius ?

It was indeed an Installshield type app. Worked fine with the iss file ! Thanks !

But isn´t it strange that an Installshield app uses msi ??

Anyway, thanks !

This is the new trend of InstallShield. Even thank God the ISS worked for you.

Today, many products built with InstallShield installer do not support ISS.

The newest version of Kaspersky Anti-Hacker uses NSIS Installer in which the silent install switch is /S. No other switches work at this time.
