Hey all I just wanted to add a little tip in this forum.

If your looking for switches and what will do what all you have to do is open a command prompt and switch to where the application is located on your hard drive. Then just add /? as a switch. It will act likes it's running the give you a popup screen of all the needed switches.

EXP: C:\temp> setup.exe /?

That should give you all the switches you need to know. From silent install to no user interaction to non reboot after install. Just depends on the application itself on what switches will be available for it. There mostly all easy simple switches to remember.

I've tested the switches myself. Should work with unattended installation of windows too. I used one of the switches for a sp2 install /quiet and it was a unattended switch and even rebooted my pc by itself after install, no user interaction at all.

Just thought I'd throw you guys a little tip for finding out switches for programs.

hi,

and the second try should go to the Universal Silent Switch Finder to find out the unattended switches.
Or there could be some info at the manufacturer-website.
If nothing helps there will be AutoIT and InstallRite to get it working unattended...

Hope this helps a bit
