darks0ul Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'm creating an unattended setup for VC++ Express, but it should be really similar for your edition.Extract all the .MSI file if you want to customize the installation, then take a look at the Feature section. To select a component supply to msiexec the parameter ADDLOCAL="Component1,Component2" and so on. You must enable active directory deployment, ADDEPLOY=1. Otherwise the it might result in an error (you must run Setup.exe yadayadayada).Otherwise, I think the /q /n (or something like that) switches work, take a look at the msdn deploy documentation for VS (if you can't find it, then look for .Net framework 3.0, that's the one I used).

HSChronic Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The blog post on this site http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/200...12/4887301.aspxexplains how to make an unattended installed using the new switches. Otherwise you will have to use the old switches of /createunattendfile <path to file> and /unattendfile <path to file> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
