INF file with nested quotes

[robr]

ok i found a couple of solutions here

http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-inf...t/msg00285.html

the first says create a .cmd file with the command i need to run and call it from [guirunonce], that way theres no nested quotes. ugly but it will work.

the second i dont know if it will work but it said to use a carat like this

[guirunonce]

"blah.exe ^"option1, option2^" /abc"

the batch file will work,

I don't know about the carrat's though.

but if you use a batch file, be sure to use start /wait when you execute the command

for anyone else that gets stuck on this, the batch file did work, the carats did not. i'd like to figure out how to properly do this without a CMD file, because a "dos box" pops up to run the CMD file. I'd prefer to see nothing, but this will do for the moment.

you may want to use cmdow to hide the window. You have to download, and you can get it from unattended.msfn.org and it will hide you dos window

hey i've a suggestion

if u don't change that stuff after the .msi

BackEndFramework,WebUI,NAS,SetDateAndTime,Set_Language,UsersAndGroups,NetworkSetup,Logs,SystemB

ackup,AlertEmail,Shutdown,RemoteDesktop,SysInfo,ScheduledDefragmentation,ShadowCopyManagement,UPS,Fo

why not make a iexpress executable?

and also does that msi work when u try it with those switches, in windows?

hmmm, i havent looked at the IEAK at all, i wouldnt want to do it for this small thing, but thanks for making me think in that direction in case i come across something else it would be suitable for.

i havent run the msi directly with the switches, the preinstall guide for storage server says to use msiexec to call it and use those switches.
