I don't vLite mine. With all the updates, software, and everything else is around 4gb. The only thing i can't fit on DVD5 discs is Office and Visio 2007. For my personal installations i use an 8gb USB stick so everything, i mean everything, fits in.

I just made an installer for a friend. Its in MSI format. For anyone interested, the link is here.

It is Spanish for Program Files.Can you check the date of the file you installed? I already updated all the builds to remove the creation of that folder. Go to the download link and look the new file dates to compare.

It all depends on the installer the application uses. Each installation system or format can use different switches to change dirs, to avoid making shortcuts in desktop, etc. Read the unattended guide to know some of them. For the rest, make a search on this forum, many applications are covered here.

I just uploaded many of my own custom installers for you to use. All installers (except those that are Switchless) are in MSI format, so you can install them silently with /qb /norestart switches. In many cases, the application settings were customized to fit my needs, but the functionality remains intact so you can change their settings after you install them. All shortcuts will be placed in Start Menu/Programs, and some of them that use more than one shortcut, will be placed inside a folder with the program’s name in the same path. This way, you can use a script or CMD file to arrange them the way you want. I will keep them updated everytime there is a new version if people are interested enough.

/SILENT="PE" is working. I just tested on my laptop (Vista x86) with the latest PC Suite 7.0.8.2. I just displayed installation status. I got a restart dialog, but i uninstalled the last version without rebooting, so i think that is why it asked to reboot.

Glad you got working now. If you still have problems running the SFX archive, you can always extract the files and run the installer with /qb which is for silent installation (the log switches are not necessary) and only displays status messages.I just reviewed the log and it seems all is ok with the installation. You were the only person that had problems with the SFX archive. Test iTunes thoroughly and post if you encounter any errors.

Don't worry. I thought you saw that in my first reply i highlighted the word switches and make it a link to Microsoft's Windows Installer command-line switches.Run the MSI like this: itunes.msi /qb /Liwem "C:\Temp\logfile.log" Just make sure the path exists because it won't be created automatically. You can create a text file and rename its extension to .log Please attach the log file.

Will try my best to get a Windows x64 machine so i can test it. I can't promise anything though. Can you try using logging switches to see if you get any indication of what is going on? The new x86 builds were uploaded minutes ago.

The files will extract to user's temp folder, using the standard %TEMP% windows variable. What error did you get when trying to run the MSI file? Or the error occurred when extracting? I already updated x86 builds to fix the creation of those empty folders. I'm uploading them right now.

Did you get any errors with x64 builds? Did you use the multilanguage installer or the english version? Try extracting the files to run the MSI file and use switches to create a log file to see what is going on. I don't have any means to test x64 installers. That path you saw is created because i inadvertently kept a path information i use by default with WinRAR when creating SFX files. I will do my best to update x86 builds soon. However, it doesn't have anything to do with iTunes installer at all. You can delete those folders safely.

thanks for the info, but i'm looking to speed up the process of making 7-Zip SFX. With SFXMaker supporting compression of entire folders, this can be done in no time. Meanwhile, i use WinRAR for my SFX.

I make a quick test and is a good tool right now. But how about making the switchless installer from a folder and then specifying the setup file to launch and its switches? I tried to compress an entire folder using a folder as installer path and writing the setup.exe /switches in the switches. Your program compressed the files well but it couldn't launch the setup.exe file saying it wasn't found. If you can work on this, it could be great for people like me that makes repacks or admin installs. This way, you can make your program to compress an entire folder and then launching a setup file.

My mistake, i checked my laptop and it was 6.x. The file name was 7.0.7.0 though. Try /SILENT="1" for full silent or /SILENT="PE" for installation status dialogs only. I found this switches on some notes i keep for installers. Please post back with your results.

Weird that the switch didn't work.

I don't use it but i saw they are using install4j to build their installer. The standard silent switch would be -q. Look here for more info on switches.

I discontinued English and Multilanguage releases because InstallShield 2009 takes forever to load the files and modified them. And that's time I don't usually have. There only two installers now, x86 and x64. Sorry for the inconvenience. These installers now include Application Support as it is required for iTunes to work. You need to install QuickTime Alternative 3.1.0 or newer. Current version: 9.0.3.15 Modifications: No Bonjour service, no iTunesHelper or iPodService at startup and no MobileMe support. Shortcuts are not advertised. Note: People with iPhone or iTouch need to install Mobile Device Support separately. Otherwise, iTunes will work but won't be able to sync them. Also, I've been made aware that Nanos 5G need it as well. Get the installers here. Thanks to sp00f and MUIZ for hosting these files.

I tried setup.exe /Z"SILENT" with 7.0.7.0 in my laptop a week ago and it worked. The installer displayed the status and all was silent.

I worked on a portable version of v7.x and it did work, but you needed to register some dll files. Which can be unregistered via scripts as well. Look for the files that Acheron installer registers and do it yourself, maybe it works and we can have a real portable nero. I don't have the time to work on it right now, but will gladly join you when i can.

You can also try to delete all registry entries / program folders associated with acrobat prior to installing the lite version. This will certainly work.

Hi. There were some issues with the english installer, so the x64 versions will have to wait until i talk to shark about the modifications.EDIT by Shark007 This project has moved and is now under the direction of elajua. Download URLs and comment can be made in the new thread.

or by identifying the kind of installers by icons (like Inno and NIS setups)

@jid: Enclose the serial in quotes, just like the example below. /USER="ajua" /COMPANY="xxxxx" /SERIAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"

A good and fast solution is to export the registry information on the files you want to associate with a program. Given that you already have them associated. Then, if you are using this reg files in unattended installations, import them at the very end. However, there are "rogue" programs that will try to re-associate files with them at first launch. A really bad practice if you ask me.

Look my post above, that example is for installing apps from CD/DVD. If you choose this way, you can shortne the time needed to install them because in OEM folders they have to be copied to the hard disk first. So, if you use a lot of apps, this process can take very long.Also, if you want to hide the command windows, make a search in this forums for cmdow.
