Hi

I'll try to install wavelab silent

i use the switch

setup.exe /silent

all works creat but at the end, i have a reboot question

Did anyone know how to surpress it

thx

Peter

thats a tricky one...

built into XP is the taskkill command, which shuts down processes. you call it like this

taskkill.exe /F /IM targetprocess.exe w

the tricky part is the timing. on unattended.msfn.org they have this file sleep.exe which, when called, simply runs for x number of seconds. you could use a start /wait sleep to put a controlled delay between the installer and the killprocess.

the trick is getting the timing right so that it allows the installer to fully process but cuts it prior to reboot...

Thx for the tip

But i have it done with a vbs script

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run (".\setup.exe /S")

While WshShell.AppActivate("Install") = FALSE

wscript.sleep 1000

Wend

wscript.sleep 1000

WshShell.SendKeys "{ESC}"

this wait for the reboot window called "Install"

when it come it sends esc and its done

but thx one's again
