Hello,
Is there a way to install 3d pary software (Nero, Photoshop etc. etc.) to a specific location? Or am I missing something? I'm sorry if this question is already asked, i'm a n00b to unattended install cd's.
Thanks,
gijluiaard

depending on the installer u can use specific commandline options

[gijluiaard]

What command line options are they? Or do you possibly know a website where you can find this? (I don't think it's on unattended.msfn).

Thank you,

gijluiaard

Why don't you try using a freeware packaging utility like InstallRite or WinInstallLE?

Create a vanilla install of XP or whatever OS on a PC.
Install one of the above applications.
Run the application to do a 'Discover' for the baseline settings.
Install your application to a custom location.
Run the installer application to do a 'Post Discover' to capture the deltas and create the install package.
Include the new install package with your build.
You will just need to run the .EXE created when your package is bundled to install it.
Repeat the process in it's entirety for each app. you wish to package.

What do you mean? You install the software, use discover, and then install it again? I'm sorry, I do not understand.

EDIT: Wait, I understand. The first 'application' is Installrite, the second is the 3d party software. OK, thank you very much.
