Perhaps you never will need it but.........
I Need a silent install for nero lenguage pack!!
Its a file which is able to open with Winrar, so like nero.
i have tried all combinations of switches.
HELPPPPPPPP!!

[XtremeMaC]

do you know where the files are placed?
are they dll's, are they being registered?

if not for example I copy my plugins with copy command
if you know where and how it puts the file you could just create a setup for your self and install silently with installshield devstudio 9
might be longer but

i'll get back to you as soon as I download one of those language packs
bare with me for a while

[XtremeMaC]

hey its not as bad as u think
its very easy just copies two files into nero if you only want nero to change
copy nero***.nls
copy nero***.txt into :\program files\ahead\nero
and when u open up nero goto preferences and choose your language
thats it!

and add this to your registry just for nero

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\General]
"Language"="ESP,ENG"


esp = spain
I don't know what language u're trying to install but u live somehere in spain

u might not even need to go to preferences if you import this reg first
try it.

I am surprised. Thank you very very much. I had been trying it how you say but never i had got the solution as soon as you.

The guys of this forum are fantastic.

Sygate Personal Firewall 5.5

Even though this latest version is a .exe file, it uses the Microsoft Installer.

So the switches are:

/QB Reboot=Supress or /QN Reboot=Supress

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

[Thanatos]

Sygate 5.5 confused me, it installed the first time, but when I tried to test it for my unattended install, I couldn't find the file to execute, I've tried it extracted and unextracted. The only files in the folder are

No, Thanatos, you don't need to extract it. The original file is over 8 MB and if you extract it, it's about 5 MB. (Don't ask me why)

So like I said before it's the .exe file that uses the switches.

Meaning: spf.exe /QB Reboot=Supress

(Uninstall your copy, reboot and try it again. It works)

I am new here.
Hi everybody.

I am not sure if people like Easy CD Creator or what, but I would like to install it.
I underustand it is a InstallShield setup, and it needs to create a setup.iss file.
I undurstand also I have to run this command: setup.exe -R.
It doesn't run from there, so I read it should be used setup.exe /s /v/qb, which installs it, but I am wondering how to manage the serial key.

As I said, I am a newbie and willing to learn.

Thanks for your help.

Alex123

[Aaron]

have you checked to see if setup.exe is a compressed archive containing a bunch of files, including another setup.exe and a setup.iss?

[Alex123]

Thanks for your feedback.

Well, the intallation folder shows a three diferent icons that could be used to initialize the installation process.

Setup.exe, launch.exe and ecdc5.msi

All of them get me to the same InstallShield Wizard.

I also searched for *.iss files in the application folder and nothing is found.

I am assuming this is a special application, since it doesn't act like a normal Install shield act.

Also, I think I have to design a registry hack to overcome the serial key step.

What I think it has to be done is to silently install it with the following command:

setup.exe /s /v/qb and then apply the registry key.

Let me someone know if I am totally lost.

Thank you.

Download the Full Installer and create a file called QuickTimeInstaller.ini in the same folder. Paste the following into this file.

[QTSETUP] 
license_option=0 
no_dialogs=true 
registration_dialog=false 
supress_speed_dialog=true 
install_qtjava=false 
install_qd3d=true 
show_sample=false 
show_readme=false 
show_programfolder=false 
install_qtinfo=true

When you run the installer it will see this file and install quicktime. I wish I had some more information on customizing QuickTimeInstaller.ini. Anyone else who has more info can post here.

Enjoy!

setup.exe /s /v/qb i only have strange icons with ## in front of them and i can't launch it, the only folder where is stored the application is "comon files" if anyone have any idea, thanks

[aitf311]

[beatnik212]

I did some searching on the Sun Java homepage and found this document that
lists detailed info on how to install the latest Java silently, with options, etc..

Here is the site: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/...ide/silent.html

Silent Installation


This section includes the following topics:

    * Introduction
    * Running InstallShield in Silent Mode: Installation
    * Running InstallShield in Silent Mode: Uninstalling
    * Creating a Log File

Notes

1. This chapter applies to 32-bit Windows and silent installation of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
2. It is intended for:
          * system administrators who want to deploy Java Plug-in and the JRE on multiple PCs in the Intranet environment without user interaction;
          * companies with products that require the JRE, which they can silently install with their product.
3. In the various command line examples below a space appears between the /v and the quote ("); i.e., /v ". The space is required for 1.4.2_01 and higher releases that are installed by the "Windows Installation" method (aka "install from the web"). For "Windows Offline Installation" no space should appear. See Install Formats for more information about installation types.

Introduction
JavaTM 2 Platform Runtime Environment (JRE) installations are built using InstallShield Developer 7, which is based on Microsoft Window Installer. This product contains built-in support for silent or unattended installations. This document tells how to silently install the JRE. Refer to  http://support.installshield.com/ for complete information about silent installations.

Running InstallShield in Silent Mode: Installation

Here is the command line for installing in silent mode:

    <jre>.exe /s /v "/qn [ADDLOCAL=jrecore[,extra][,other_US] | ALL] [IEXPLORER=1] [NETSCAPE6=1] [MOZILLA=1] [INSTALLDIR=<drive>:\<install_path>] [REBOOT=Suppress] [JAVAUPDATE=0]"

where

<jre>.exe is the single executable installer for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE); ADDLOCAL, if used, is either jrecore[,extra][,other_US] or ALL; IEXPLORER=1, if used, indicates that the Plug-in should be registered with the Internet Explorer browser; NETSCAPE6=1, if used, indicates that the Plug-in should be registered with Netscape 6 or later browsers; MOZILLA=1 indicates that the Plug-in should be registered with Mozilla 1.1 and later browsers; INSTALLDIR, if used, specifies the drive and path of the installation; REBOOT=Suppress, if used, indicates that if locked files are encountered the computer should not be rebooted; and JAVAUPDATE=0, if used, indicates that the Java Update feature should be excluded from the installation.

If ADDLOCAL=jrecore[,extra][,other_US] is used,

    jrecore indicates the core of the JRE will be installed;

    extra (optional) indicates additional Fonts, Colors, and Soundbank will be installed;

    other (optional) indicates locale-specific .jar files will be installed.

If ADDLOCAL=ALL is used, then all the features will be installed.

If ADDLOCAL is not used, then only the recommended features will be installed: jrecore will be installed; extra will not be installed; other will be installed only if l10n support, other than English, is installed.

If INSTALLDIR is not specified, the installation will go into C:\Program Files\java\j2re1.4.2 (default location).

Note

The command is case sensitive and there must be no spaces in the features listed with ADDLOCAL.
Examples

Suppose the JRE installer is j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe; you want to install the JRE core and additional Fonts, Colors and Soundbank; and you want to register the Plug-in with Netscape 7 and Mozilla 1.3. Then the command would be:

    j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s /v "/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore,extra NETSCAPE=1 MOZILLA=1"

Or suppose you want all features to be installed; you only want to register the Plug-in with Internet Explorer; and you want the installation on the D drive at java\jre. Then the command line could be simply:

    j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s /v "/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=D:\java\jre"

You may find it convenient to use the "start /w" command, as that will cause MS-DOS to wait until the install is complete. For example:

    start /w j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s /v "/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=D:\java\jre"

Running InstallShield in Silent Mode: Uninstalling

This is the command line for uninstalling in silent mode:

    <jre>.exe /s /v "/qn [REBOOT=Suppress]" /x

where <jre>.exe is the single executable installer for the JRE and REBOOT=Suppress, if used, indicates that if locked files are encountered the computer should not be rebooted.
Example

    j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s /v "/qn REBOOT=Suppress" /x

Creating a Log File

If you want to create a log file describing the installation, add /L C:\<path>setup.log to the command. Note that this comes within the quote marks (""). For example:

    j2re-1_4_2-bin-b18-windows-i586-05_mar_2003.exe /s/v "/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL /L C:\<path>setup.log"

This will cause the log to be written to the setup.log file.

To verify if a silent installation succeeded, scroll to the end of the log file.

Hmm.. wonder if something like this will work for the other /s /v /qn programs?.
