Tomcat76 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Can anyone tell me if there's any way to skip the EULA of Powerpoint Viewer 2003 with a silent install?For Word Viewer 2003 and Excel Viewer 2003, these are the commands I'm using respectively:msiexec /i WORDVIEW.MSI /qn ACCEPTEULA=1 ASSOCIATE=1msiexec /i XLVIEW.MSI /qn ACCEPTEULA=1 ASSOCIATE=1The ACCEPTEULA part doesn't seem to do the trick for PPoint Viewer 2003; the EULA is still shown upon first run...

Tomcat76 Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Thanks for the tip; it works. I've changed it into this:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\PowerPoint Viewer\11.0]"EULAAccepted"=dword:00000001[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\PowerPoint Viewer\11.0]"EULAAccepted"=dword:00000001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikgale Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 REG ADD %KEY%\026 /VE /D "MS PPViewer" /fREG ADD %KEY%\026 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\MSViewers\ppviewer\PPVIEWER.MSI /qn" /fREG ADD %KEY%\027 /VE /D "MS WDViewer" /fREG ADD %KEY%\027 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\MSViewers\wdviewer\SETUP.EXE /qn" /fREG ADD %KEY%\028 /VE /D "MS XLViewer" /fREG ADD %KEY%\028 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\MSViewers\xlviewer\SETUP.EXE /qn" /fI extracted the viewers and grabbed the contents from the /temp folder and used the above code. Worked with no EULA and no pop-ups etc. It all worked 1st, much to my surprise.HTH Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid as a rock Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) I have tryed some ways to find the best working way:PPVIEWER.msi /qb /m /QUIETThis works, when removing /m /quiet you will see a progressbar and thats all and works too.PPVIEWER.MSI /qnThis works the same as the "/qb /m /quiet".Thanks everyone to post your info Edited February 11, 2006 by SolidasRock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickfit Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm making a Powerpoint slideshow that I will be burning to a disk and distributing. My goal is to get the show to start up on anyone's computer without any input required from them. I want them to just be able to pop the CD in and watch. I'm using Powerpoint 2003 which I know pops up with a EULA when it starts for the first time. I think the other posts on the message board explain how to do away with the EULA but I'm not familiar with the code being, which code I should use or what file it needs to go in. I know I probably sound like a noob but I would appreciate any help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaker Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 nickfit, I would strongly recommend creating a html-based slideshow rather than a PowerPoint one. Installing something to a user's PC "without any input required from them" is a dangerous area to get into. What if the user already has PowerPoint installled and now ppt files are associated with the viewer? Just one person's feedback... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickfit Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Thanks for your comment Beaker,It's a little late for me to switch formats for this slide show. I've already completed it in Powerpoint and it took me weeks to do. The last time I did something like this was on Powerpoint 97. The viewer that came with that version worked very well. It would run right off of the CD with no installation necessary. If I could find or do something like that I think that would be ideal but if I can't I'd like to make the installation of the program as transparent as possible.

Idontwantspam Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Powerpoint viewer runs directly from the CD. No installation needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hj_fr Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Why not install the powerpoint 2007 viewer ?With the switch "/quiet" no EULA with the 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
