Silent install of Games

Featured Replies

Haven't found anything on the forums about this

Anyone know if it's possible to silently install a few games (namely Call of Duty, Return to castle wolfenstein and Battlefield Vietnam)

Call of Duty "may" work with a /silent switch, but I get the CD Key screen, which I would like inserted automatically. I would also like to avoid it asking for CD2.

If anyone has got this working - Let us know.


I know for Id Games (RTCW) you could install the game, pack the installation directory into a self-extracting executable, and extract that during your unattended installation.

Possibly you could capture the Add/Remove programs entry for RTCW from the registry and include that too. This in case you might want to update the game in the future.

This method will work for a lot of games. If it complains about dll's it cannot find (in the windows directory), find out which and include those in your self extracting executable. FarCry, for example, writes 5 dll's to the Windows\System32 directory.

Good luck,

eNuffSaid

find out which type of installer package the game installation uses and use that switches. If the program uses installa shield then you could use wininstaller to edit the *.msi file and make it install silently without any need of switches. :)

hope this will solve your troubles.
