Being your first post nobody will hold it against you, but if you do a search (or try common switches), you will find most of these.

Hi, and welcome! :hello:

Trying the common switches first would be helpful. That will save time for you, as otherwise waiting for a response can take many hours (or even days).

For "cpuidle extreme", the switch to use is just plain "/S" (note the capital S). I don't know of the others, since I don't use them. But some common switches are:
/S
/s
/silent
/QB
/S /v/qn
/VERYSILENT /SP-
/verysilent
and so on....

Some apps have just a name-sake installer. In such cases, you can just copy away the installed files, copy them back (using batch-files) during unattended setup, and they work fine.

What are switches used for?
Can I silently install programs without a switch?
Can I use the same switch for all the programs?

Hey,
A silent switch is used so it tells the program not to accept any input from the user, where as with out the switch (/S, /QN, etc) it will ask you to input details like where do you wish to store the inforamtion,

Most installs have a common switch Like MSI = /QN, but there us a usefull guide here: http://unattended.ms...pplications.htm When you get there just use the menu at the top and then select application, and ull see a list of common applications, as well as common install packages at the bottom, But also at the top of the thread is MY Switches, i do recommend checking that out as it normally helps most thigs out.
