Hello everybody,

I want to include acdsee 3.1 in my unattended CD, I use this switch;



but during installation I get this message:



Help please!

Thank's you!

I believe you got the above switch from some thread meant for RunOnceEx install method - if so, just remove the unnecessary slashes and quotes in the command and try again.

If not, the easiest solution I can think of, is to run that same setup in normal windows mode, to make an administrative install point (using "/A" switch). Then, when it is done, you can simply run its MSI without needing all those complications, like this:


If neither of the solutions above work, I'm sure that somebody else will come along, who has tried what you are doing, and reply to this.

if you are going to install ACDSEE 5 standard, I think you should know that if you just type the EXE file followed /? "i.e. setup.msi /?" & you shall get this beautiful list of available switches that can be used with ACDSEE 5:
