I was recently working on a silent install for Sound Forge 7...
What I was able to figure out:
If you have the Sound Forge installer thats packaged as a single EXE, its made with "Sony's Self-Extracting Packager" which has these switches (found by passing "/?" to the EXE):
None of these switches seemed to help me at all, so I just ran the EXE normally, it asks you where to extract the files (Defaults to \Program Files\Sony Setup\Sound Forge 7.0). Let the program install and afterwards you'll have the setup files in that directory, which uses an MSI.
Install like any other MSI.
Would be nice if there was a way to install from the single EXE, its cleaner that way.

-run <path> Run the application and skip the wizard. -nosetup Skip the setup program.

Thanks for the help pinout, using the .MSI file to install silently worked a treat

@ ironside. What switches did you use, because I just get the 'Windows Installer' help screen with the options that don't work. Either that or it does nothing.
