hi I'm new and I want to make a program install silently. After some search I found the application switch for the the program I want.

the program is downloadable in the following link: http://www3.firstclass.com/ClientDownloads...es/FC8200US.exe

CODE

First Class:

Extract downloaded file:
FC8200US.exe -extract_all:"C:\Temp"

Create setup.iss (from the extracted folder):
setup.exe /r
The answerfile will be in C:\Windows

Silent install:
X:\FC82\Setup.exe /s /sms /f1X:\FC82\Setup.iss
or
\\SRVNAME\SHARE\Setup /s /sms /f1\\SRVNAME\SHARE\Setup.iss

However I tried in cmd typing the silent install line just for testing. It attempt to load and then nothing happend . Did a quick read in the setup file created at the same folder as setup.iss adn found these.

you're heading in the right direction.
in this line, X:\FC82\Setup.exe /s /sms /f1X:\FC82\Setup.iss

The x's need to be replaced with drive letters, like this,

C:\FC82\Setup.exe /s /sms /f1C:\FC82\Setup.iss

of course, the appopriate files need to be placed to these locations for the commands to work.
