amit_talkin Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 why we still need switches? then why this is called SWITCHLESS INSTALLER?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grake Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I guess after everything is said and done, all you'd have to do is double click (or call the .exe) and it'll install without switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 why we still need switches? then why this is called SWITCHLESS INSTALLER??????The prog switches need to be prepackaged into the 7zip installer, very handy to automate your installation in ua etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_talkin Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) The prog switches need to be prepackaged into the 7zip installer, very handy to automate your installation in ua etc.i mean to say....after making switchless installer of any application....will i need to use any switch for silent installation??? or still have to put command as below"%systemdrive%\install\xxx.exe" ( there is no switches )or still i have to use switches as below..."%systemdrive%\install\xxx.exe /s /qn" Edited December 13, 2005 by amit_talkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"%systemdrive%\install\xxx.exe" ( there is no switches )CheersMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keytotime Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 It sounds like a bad switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yungsters Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Is there any way to use switches other than "/qb-!"" and "/qn" when using an MSI Installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerox91 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 so what am I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) I get this error The system cannot find the file specified. In the notepad this is in it:;!@Install@!UTF-8!RunProgram="firefox.exe –switch";!@InstallEnd@!The .7z is called firefox.7z and the .exe in it is called firefox.exeSo I seemed to do everything right, 7zS.sfx is in the same folder as all the other 2 files.I get this error when I try to manually open the .7z to see if it will install.

joeyeti Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi, getting to do my TotalCommander installer, in fact this will be a Launcher-driven-startup of the program, with no actual installation, only copying in its folder (I thinkg the utility is called TotalCommander Loader - can be used as a USB started TC).The only thing I would like to know is how to make the links on desktop and in Start Menu?Is there difference between putting it under all users (to START) and only one of them, if yes how is it done?For example, I will unpack all files to c:\totalcmdHow to add the shortcuts then?Joe Yeti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
