Hi folks,

Today I was looking for a solution to the problem with the language of "Opera" while silent installing.

The "normal" silent switches are provided on several websites. But the language selection can be found very rarely.

OK, long story short...

The missed switch was "INSTALLER_LANGUAGE=en"

Change the last two digits to your lang-id. (de, it, ru etc.)

Two ways for silent installing:

1. way

Download Opera-Installer (Opera_960_int_Setup.exe)

extract it with UniExtract

after extracting the original installer you have a different EXE-file "Opera installer.exe"

use the following switches for direct installing with this EXE

@"Opera installer.exe" /s /v"/qn CREATE_DESKTOP_ICON=1 CREATE_QUICKLAUNCH_ICON=1 CREATE_STARTMENU_ICONS=1 ALLUSERS=1 MULTI_USER_SETTING=1 INSTALLER_LANGUAGE=de"

2. way

clear your TEMP-Folder

start "Opera_960_int_Setup.exe" normally

select language - next

goto your temp folder

search for ""Opera installer.msi"

copy "Opera installer.msi" to another place

exit Opera Installer

use the following switches for installing with this MSI

@msiexec /i "Opera installer.msi" /passive /qn CREATE_DESKTOP_ICON=1 CREATE_QUICKLAUNCH_ICON=1 CREATE_STARTMENU_ICONS=1 ALLUSERS=1 MULTI_USER_SETTING=1 INSTALLER_LANGUAGE=de

U can change the values from 1 to 0 if you like other options.

I hope this helps you.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=795493 has info about Reg entry to make Opera the default browser

I wonder if anyone knows how to package it with things like customisations - a bit like Jonny Boy's Firefox Addon maker???? I'm getting to think Opera is pretty cool!

thanks ....

You just include the files for whatever customizations you've done, into your Opera install, and have them copied over after Opera is installed...

Here's my install: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=857456

Where can I get a list of all supported language IDs for that switch:

INSTALLER_LANGUAGE=[lang-id]

I need: Spanish, Italian, German , English, French, Arabic, all other supported langs.

Thanks

I found it:
