To silent install true image 9 extract the .msi (right click on the install button on splash screen and choose extract) and use a batch file;

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Acronis True Image 9
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait msiexec.exe /i AcronisTrueImage.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /norestart /qb-!

Be sure the batch file is in the same directory as the .msi, and call it in your usual way.

Great help.. cheers

After testing, this may not work very well on an unattended install, as it may force the pc to restart. May want to use the following witches:

cmdow @ /HID


start /wait msiexec.exe /i AcronisTrueImage.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /quiet /passive /norestart

(OOPS missed the \norestart switch in previous post.. DOH!!)


or directly from RunOnceEx:

Quote

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Acronis True Image" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%\Software\AcronisTrueImage\AcronisTrueImage.msi \" ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /quiet /passive /norestart" /f

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I tried it from the RunOnceEx but could not get it to work, so now my RunOnceEx calls the batch file.

Shouldn't it be

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /VE /D "Acronis True Image" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\000 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%\Software\AcronisTrueImage\AcronisTrueImage.msi  ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /quiet /passive /norestart" /f

You are missing a ", there are only 3 in the above instruction...


If you notice this entry:

Quote

REG ADD %KEY%\017 /VE /D "Nero Burning Rom" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\017 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%\Software\Nero\Nero.exe\"  /silent /sn=SERIAL  /write_sn /no_ui /noreboot" /f

There are 4 ", and there is a " after the filename.... and the final one after the switches before the /f..

This is working fine for me, so Ive ditched the batch file

Quote

REG ADD %KEY%\022 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%\Software\TrueImage\TrueImage.msi\" ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /quiet /passive /norestart" /f

Taken directly from my working script...

Could someone please tell me what files are needed for silent install,
is it just AcronisTrueImage.msi, instmsia.exe, instmsiw.exe, icudt32l.dat,

Thanks

Whenever I run this MSI with these switches, I get an error message

Here is my autoit line:

RunWait("msiexec /i AcronisTrueImage.msi ADDLOCAL=ALL PIDKEY=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx /quiet /passive /norestart")

but I tried this in a batch file as well and I still get this error. Any ideas?

make a network image and 7zip that sucker!
nothing special about this one.
PIDKEY=yadda-yadda-yadda

edit:
are you using autoit code in a regular batch?
don't you want 'start /wait...'

why did you use ADDLOCAL switch? what is that for?
for disk director suite i just grab the msi extracted by the setup (in userprofile temp folder) and use this swtiches to run it: PIDKey=x-x-x-x /qn /no restart

and all works fine for me.

@elajua
I was just going by what was in the posts. I looked it up on the Acronis site and got the true switch which as you say, has *no* ADDLOCAL

@thuun derboy
Of course I didn't use autoit code on a batch file!! I was saying I tried the above commands with a start /wait in a batch file and it didn't work. I rarely use batch files since learning Autoit. I just wanted to see if it was Autoit's fault.

Tell msiexec where your file is. Supply a path to the file.

If you use Start /Wait in a DOS batch file, then you deserve to be thrown into a snake pit for constructing a noobie command.

[redfive19]

hehe, that's why I don't use batch files anymore. I can do everything in autoit and more! Anyway, this worked after I took out the ADDLOCAL=ALL without providing the full path to the MSI.
