Well heres how I did the PerfectDisk2008 silent install:

1. Download latest PerfectDisk2008 version/installer.

2. Extract installation files from the .exe installer with 7-zip.

3. Remove uncessary install files (folders), like i removed x64 (64-bit) OS installation folder, I got x86 (32-bit) OS.

4. Go to folder ...\x86\program files\Raxco\PerfectDisk2008 and find config.ini

5. Open config.ini with notepad for example.

6. First you must enable the use of config.ini during installation.

[Config.ini]
#Set this value to 1 to enable configuration with Config.ini file.
Enabled=1

7. Go to the bottom of the config.ini to [License] -section and put your License key in "LicenseKey=NNN-NNNNNNN-NNNNNN-NNNN" replace the "NNN-NNNNNNN-NNNNNN-NNNN" with your license key.

[License]
# Allow inputing a license key on install
# LicenseKey = NNN-NNNNNNN-NNNNNN-NNNN
# where NNN-NNNNNNN-NNNNNN-NNNN is a valid license key.
# default = null
LicenseKey=NNN-NNNNNNN-NNNNNN-NNNN

8. U also can modify other setting in the config.ini -file for your taste.

9. Save the config.ini file.

10. Run "PerfectDisk_x86.msi" from X86 -folder with "/qb /norestart" switches or whatever switches u like to use.

Hope u understood!

ripulisimo, I tried your method but it does not work. Every time i try to install it just asks for a key and if I enter that same one that I put in config.ini file it works.

Sry my bad... forgot to mention that you have to enable use of config.ini from config.ini I updated the instructions

[Config.ini]
#Set this value to 1 to enable configuration with Config.ini file.
Enabled=1

So change that to "1" and it should work fine.
