For silent installations of applications, how do I change the default "c:\program files\whatever" to my desired path?
eg: "c:\CDBURNERS\NERO"


Can we do it adding the path to the switches???
Pleez help!

Each setup has their switchs. Not exist a universal switch, too bad ;)

sonic is correct. You cant do that on all types of installers. There are some that support changing the default install path, but some do not. I think the only solution for those is either by using autoit, or repackaging the software.

the best repacking utility I've come across so far is Acronis Rapid Install, works like the AI from Symantec only better, it monitors all the changes that occured in the installation, then makes an executable that makes the exact same changes, and you have the option of changing what it installs

Hi. I tried searching for that program but I wasn't able to find it. Is it the same as the Acronis Snap Deploy?

By the way, I use InstallShield for repackaging my softwares if I want to make an MSI installer, and Inno Setup or Setup Factory for regular exe installers. :)
