DAMN NFO silent install

[Versius]

Hello everybody,

I want to put DAMNED NFO Viewer v2.10 on my unattend CD, but I've got some problem to do it. NO SILENT INSTALL. I've read in that forum that there was an .msi file we can download to do the silent install, but I can't access to it. How an I make a silent install for that soft.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Is command.com=batch.bat?

If this is true, then I'll catch.cat!

[Alanoll]

but **** doesn't have a native MSI file, you'll have to use Mac's which he removed the link for.

hi there

okay here's the new and improved ****.msi

it had some problems with extentions...

CFA DizNFO 2000 (Freeware ver) installs silent no problems

used the -s switch - nothing more

Hi XtremeMaC,

Thanks for your help! I'll download your file and test it. I've tried to make an *.msi file with WinInstall LE but it doesn't work.

Thanks ;-)

The link to the "new and better msi" pack is dead I guess i'll make a NSIS myself. I made one in 5 minutes that installs a set of winamp skins in the right location, and that works absolutely silently... So... Well...

Actually, it took lesser time to achieve than expected...

Done

Run with DamnNFOViewer.exe /S to run silently.

Using NSIS 2.07 and LZMA solid compression, resulting installer is 141.143 bytes. Oh, and it has an ugly icon

[maybeme]

Could you post your installer?

I don't know how to make one myself, but I gonna try (I shouldn't be so difficult when you gave me the source or something)

grtz

EDIT: I can't upload the modified installer because of an upload limit here on msfn, though it is only 169KB

Thanks ThaNerd for the script!
