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
