hey does any body know how to silently install DeepFreeze Enterprise V6.00.220.1523 , i cant seem to get an autoit script together for it with out using mouse clicks,, and i havnt found any switches at all for it,,

from the help manual

Deep Freeze can be rapidly installed to many workstations over a network using the Silent Install System. Any deployment utility that allows execution of a command line on a remote workstation can implement the Silent Install System. After the Silent Install is complete, the system immediately restarts.

The command line has the following options:

Syntax Description
[/Install] Install Deep Freeze using installation file
[/Install /Seed] Install only the specified workstation seed file
[/Uninstall] Uninstall Deep Freeze
[/Uninstall /Seed] Uninstall Deep Freeze and leave the workstation seed installed
[/PW=password] Sets a password during installation
[/AllowTimeChange] Allow system clock to be changed
[/Freeze=C,D,...] Freeze only drives listed (Thaws all others)
[/Thaw=C,D,...] Thaw only drives listed (Freezes all others)
[/USB] Exempt external USB hard disks from protection (Windows 2000/XP only)
[/FireWire] Exempt external FireWire hard disks from protection (Windows 2000/XP only)
Example Command Line: DF6Wks.exe /Install /Freeze=C /PW=password


In the example, the Deep Freeze installation program file is named DF6Wks.exe. Only the C: drive will be Frozen. Any other drives on the workstation will be Thawed. If the workstation only has a C: drive, the [/Freeze] switch can be omitted. A password (password) will be created. After executing the command, Deep Freeze will install and the workstation will restart Frozen and ready to use.

The Silent Install System will not work without the [/Install] or [/Uninstall] switch.

Deep Freeze must be in a Thawed state before [/Uninstall] can be used.

ok this is gonna sound noobish,, but i cant figure out how to make the installation file for this to go silent,, anybody have any ideals on how to do it ?

[gpctexas]

you need to run it from command line df6wks.exe /install or use iexpress to make a self extracting exe that uses the switch you need.

Sheesh, Again, go on then .

When you have installed the Deep Freeze Enterprise Administrator, run it and select the 1st option, then use

DF6Wks.exe /Install /Freeze=C /PW=password

or whatever according to the help file.

You can use the configuration tab to set some preferences like stealth mode (No tray icon) etc
