Internet Explorer 6 SP1 Unattended

[Ascii2]

I want to have an unattended install of Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 and Outlook Express 6 that shows installation dialogue boxe, but does prompt for user input.

I have a directory with 83 files (about 77.9 MB) for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 and Outlook Express installation:

The Microsoft Corporation Knowledge Base and TechNet articles http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197147 and http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...t.mspx?mfr=true list switches that seem to be compatible (and give an example of use) with the ie6setup.exe application.

What has to be done to have an unattended install of Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 and Outlook Express 6 that does not halt for user input and shows dialogues?

It seems that using "ie6setup.exe /q", "ie6setup.exe /q:a", or ""ie6setup.exe /q:u" to invoke the setup should perform as desired, but I am unsure which is the correct one (if any) to use.

Try this

ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N

[Ascii2]

Try this

ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N

Wouldn't the "/Q:A" switch not show any dialogues?

I want to all a user to see what is being intsalled. Would "/Q:U" do this?

[Ascii2]

I have tried using "ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N", but progress failed to show.

I tried using "ie6setup.exe /Q /R:N", and installation seemed to occur as desired.

I then tried using "ie6setup.exe /Q:U /R:N", and installation also seemed to occur as desired.

What is the difference in function between "ie6setup.exe /Q /R:N" and "ie6setup.exe /Q:U /R:N"?
