You don't need to add the switch instlang. Avast installs alway the language read from system. If you have Windows in Italian - Avast will install in Italian too. Additional languages are unimportant and not so easy to install in silent-node.

Hm, i not really know. what you want. Why can the users change the extraction-path? If you want to extract your prog always to c:\program files - set this path as target in advanced sfx-settings in WinRAR and that's it. But please remember: 'c:\program files (x86)' exists on win x64 machines only. The better way to extract your program always to the right path is to use system-variables like %programfiles%.

for new version Avast Free Antivirus 7.0.xxxx look here:

After a long tine i've found a easy solution for installing AVAST silent and prevent the background-installation of Google Chrome With a simple registry trick i prevent the execution of "aswOfferTool.exe" that want install Google Chrome or some other s***. Just download the actual version of Avast Free AntiVirus direcly from avasts website. Paste the following code in editor and save them with the specified names. Name: settings.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\aswOfferTool.exe] "Debugger"="logonui.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\GoogleUpdate.exe] "Debugger"="logonui.exe" Name: settings-off.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\aswOfferTool.exe] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\GoogleUpdate.exe] Name: inst.bat @echo off regedit /s settings.reg start /wait avast_free_antivirus_setup /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SP- regedit /s settings-off.reg This is quiet easy and you can use the original installer you've downloaded from the website. Questions? Happy installing

Every MSI-File has the same options for silent install. Get the latest version of Shockwave as MSI from here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/latest/sw_lic_full_installer.msi Try msiexec /i sw_lic_full_installer.msi /qb /norestart For more details and possible switches go to your "run-Dialog" with Win+R, type msiexec /? and press Enter

Hey folks, thanks for information. The PDF is very usefull. The "trick" with taskkill is sometimes working - sometimes not. Thats my problem.

Tried this many times. Some times it works - other times it not works.

It works. You can also use the witch /UILevel=minimal instead of /UILevel=silent. This will show you the main installer-screen with progressbar. The problem is: After installing it silent, it opens the UserGUI. If you try to kill the process avgui.exe it makes errors because you have no permissions to kill this. Any solutions to prevent the silent install from lauchning the GUI at the end? TIA skav

Just create a small Batch-file like this: @echo off start /wait STB.exe start /wait SJ.exe Save it as install.bat, add it to your SFX and use this as Setup.

Hey DosProbie, nice work! What happen if the VC-Package is already installed? In my istal-batches i just use the /q oder /qb - switches directly after the exes. ie vcredist_x64.exe" /qb for Visual C++ 2008 SP1. Why you used always the msiexec-option? Is the name of the MSI alsways the same (vcredist.msi) also for different versions 2008/2010/2012 ?? TIA skav

Hi folks, here my quick solution for installing the lightweight antivirus ClamWin. Download the actual installer from here: http://www.clamwin.com/content/view/18/46/ Install it full silent with this line: clamwin-0.97.6-setup.exe /SILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP- /TASKS="desktopicon" The last switch prevents the run of the online-updater. So it is absolutely silent. A good addition is ClamSentinel - http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamsentinel/ you can install it with: ClamSentinel1.20.exe /SILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP- All possible switches for Clamwin are explained here: http://forums.clamwin.com/viewtopic.php?p=15778 have fun skav

Huh, i answer myself. First I switched from RAR-SFX to 7Zip-SFX. Then for the x86-version i created a standard-sfx with the usual command Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:%~dp0sxs /LimitAccess For the x64-version i do the same, except i used the "7zsd_LZMA_x64.sfx" for creating my SFX. Finally it's important to create a 64bit-sfx, if you plan to install it offline on 64bit--systems. so long

Thank you. Very interesting. I have Win8 x64 Pro. I've tried to create a SFX for installing/activating it offline without the source-dvd. I've extracted and copied the folder sxs from inside the source-folder of the DVD to my location, created a CMD-File like this: install.cmd:: @echo off color 1E title Microsoft .Net 3.5 Feature-Activation for Windows 8 echo. echo Microsoft .Net 3.5 Feature-Activation for Windows 8 echo. Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:%~dp0sxs /LimitAccess Then i created a RAR-SFX containing the folder sxs and the script. Building it to extract to Temp-folder and then run install.cmd. But every time it gives me an error similar like this "A running 64bit-OS cannot use the 32bit-version of DISM." What is wrong? How have you created your SFX? PS: If i start the cmd-file directly by double-click - it works. Hm, why not with my SFX? TIA

Thank you. Now it works for me. Nice job.

THX for this script. I've try it on Win7 x64 - The script does'nt work, because the link to CABARC is wrong. Can u give us a alternate URL to download CABARC.exe? TIA

Try WIHU - http://www.kalytta.com/wihu.php here is a sub-forum for this tool: http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/90-wihu/ Or use wizapp from here: http://wizapp.sourceforge.net/

Here we go: UPDATED TO VERSION 4.x 1. step: download convertxtodvd from here: http://www.vso-software.fr/download_product_direct.php?product=convertxtodvd 2. step: download "innounp, the Inno Setup Unpacker" from here: http://innounp.sourceforge.net/ 3. step: download "Inno Setup Compiler – QuickStart Pack" from here: http://www.jrsoftware.org/download.php/ispack.exe 4. step: put your ConvertXtoDVD-Installer in any folder and create a subfolder named "unpack" therein 5. step: put innounp.exe in the same folder like the ConvertXtoDVD-Installer 6. step: open a cmd-window in this path (i use TotalCommander) and type in the following innounp.exe -x -m -dunpack vsoinstallername.exe Example: innounp.exe -x -m -dunpack vsoConvertXtoDVD4_setup.exe 7. step: install "Inno Setup Compiler – QuickStart Pack " you downloaded in step 2 8. step: go to the folder named "unpack" and open the file "install_script.iss" with Inno-Setup (just double-click) now you can see the original install-script. For silent install we must edit/add/remove some lines in this script. 9. step: in the [setup] section edit the following line with your choice - write there a name for the new compiled EXE without extension (ex. OutputBaseFilename=silentinstall) OutputBaseFilename= 10. step: in the [setup] section Change the line AppName={code:GetAppName} By replacing the value „{code:GetAppName}“ with your choice (i used the value from „AppVerName“) 11. step: in the [setup] section If you use "InnoIDE" from QuickStart Pack go to Settings / Compiler Settings and hit the "Generate"-Button to get your own AppID alternativ: Add a new line like this: AppID={{0BECD337-D8A9-4767-A960-B7222BC4C913 change the value to your choice, the double-{ is correct 12. step: in the [Registry] section add the following line Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\4.0"; Valuename: "LicenseKey"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-x"; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXtoDVD\4.0\settings"; Valuename: "Gen_CheckForUpdate"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "FALSE"; Flags: createvalueifdoesntexist Where the x stands for YOUR own LicenseKey 13. step: in the [Registry] section search the following line Root: HKCU; Subkey: "Software\VSO\ConvertXToDVD\3.0\settings"; ValueName: "TvFmt_Video_Standard"; ValueType: String; ValueData: "{code:GetVideoStandard}"; Flags: uninsdeletevalue Change "{code:GetVideoStandard}" to "vs_automatic" 14. step go to [Run] section delete all lines from this section 15. step Go to [uninstallRun] section Remove the following line: Filename: "http://www.vso-software.fr/uninstallform.php?software=ConvertXToDVD4&version=4.1.19.365&s=app_uninstall"; RunOnceId: "convertxtodvduninstallsurvey"; MinVersion: 0.0,5.0; 16. step: Go to [Tasks] section Remove the following line Name: "stats"; Description: "{cm:AllowStat}"; GroupDescription: "{cm:AdditionalTasks}"; MinVersion: 0.0,5.0; After all these steps you must compile your script. Save your script exit the program "Inno...." right click of the script - select "compile" After all these stept you have a new EXE in the folder "Output" for silent installing this EXE with progress-bar use the following switches Example: ConvertxtoDVD_new.exe /SP- /SILENT for complete silent installing this EXE without any window use the following switches Example: ConvertxtoDVD_new.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT Thats it If all these steps are to complicated for you....see my attached file - insert YOU license an have fun. install_script.iss

Thank You for this update. One question: Your version is english only. How is it possible to install silent in other language like german? Usually i used the /S-switch. What happend with the -ms-Switch? What are the differences? TIA

Thank you for this great tool. I'm german and i'm wondering about the german translation. Sorry, but this german translation is crap. I will translate it better and send my translatet file to you. so long

I've just use a Batch-script to silent install. install.cmd @echo off start /wait SandboxieInstall338.exe /LANG=1031 /Install /S copy %programfiles%\Sandboxie\Start.exe %programfiles%\Sandboxie\Start2.exe %programfiles%\Sandboxie\Start2.exe /register local xxxxxxx Licensee Industries then puttet the "install.cmd" in the same path like the "SandboxieInstall338.exe" and let it run from WIHU. I'm not using this for unattendet install in a XP-Setup-CD. In the last line after your license-code u must write in the name, the program is licensed for, i thing the last thing is obselete and not requiered. Try it and let us know your results. Greetz

Hi folks, for all who want install Sandboxie silent in specific language and registered. SandboxieInstall338.exe /LANG=1031 /Install /S The switch /LANG must be the first switch. In this case 1031 is for german. Other LANG-Codes can be found in: SbieMsg.dll If you want to register silently to, you must add the following copy %programfiles%\Sandboxie\Start.exe %programfiles%\Sandboxie\Start2.exe %programfiles%\Sandboxie\Start2.exe /register local xxxxxxx Licensee Industries Example: %programfiles%\Sandboxie\Start2.exe /register local ABCDEFG User company Hint: The first line copies the "start.exe" from Sandboxie to "start2.exe", because "start.exe" exists in XP-installation directly and if you want use "start.exe" for the registratios it causes in an error. greetz

OK, thx for info. Then i go my way and search for my own solution to answer my last question. so long

Very nice idea. Little question: Is it right, that this systemvariable is set for alway from now on? How can i remove this systemvariable from the registry afer finishing of all? ska

Hi there, its easy. first install programm with the following: FileMenuTools-setup.exe /SAVEINF="c:\silent.inf" copy the file "silent.inf" in the same folder like the FileMenuTools-setup create a BATCH-Script like this: install.cmd @echo off start /wait FileMenuTools-setup.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /LOADINF=".\silent.inf" Now you can silent install thsi program. If you want to create a silent addon, make just a RAR-SFX or 7ZIP-SFX. greetz

I use the following way: first let us check if SPTD-Driver is installed in your system if the SPTD-driver was found - start the daemon-tools-installer with the net switch /S if the SPTD-driver is not installed: make a directory on your boot-drive copy the Daemon-installer to this directory call the SPTD-Driver-Installer (SPTDinst-v156-x86.exe add /q) add a registry-value to RUNONCE, to start Daemon-Tools-Installer silent after next reboot Here my script @echo off Title Daemon Tools Lite 4.30.1 ::check for installed SPTD-driver if exist %systemroot%\system32\drivers\sptd.sys goto ISDA if not exist %systemroot%\system32\drivers\sptd.sys goto ISNICHDA :ISNICHDA if not exist %systemdrive%\install\nul mkdir %systemdrive%\install if not exist %systemdrive%\install\daemon\nul mkdir %systemdrive%\install\daemon copy /y/v daemon*.exe %systemdrive%\install\daemon\ start /wait SPTDinst-v156-x86.exe add /q regedit /s runonce.reg goto ende :ISDA start /wait daemon4301-lite.exe /S exit Here the reg-file "runonce.reg" Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce] "Daemon Tool Lite"="C:\\install\\daemon\\daemon4301-lite.exe /S" For me this works fine
