thanks again fast replies, excellent forum and although im not sure what im doing i think im learning something :newbie:

1. Start the setup application using the -R switch (Use Command Prompt) e.g. Setup.exe -R 2. The normal setup screens will appear, asking you questions as you go along such as destination directory, etc. It's CRUCIAL that you do not choose the "Restart the computer now" option. If you do, you will terminate your batch when you run an unattended installation. SORRY for asking but could someone explain how i go about doing this in command prompt what is the r switch trying to setup kerio firewall
