WwTIPPYwW Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 two part answer - #1 - post in the correct forum - the APPLICATION SWITCHES forum - http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=80#2 - K-Lite Codec Pack is a good package.install k-lite codec pack 2.25 on your computer using the command line switch /SAVEINF="install.inf" and then when you want to silent install use /SILENT /SP- /LOADINF="install.inf" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkreifus Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 so the inf becomes part of the exe file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethux Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Sorry to bump this topic up, but I found out your switches are only 1/2 right. For some reason, when you type /SAVEINF="install.inf", the install.inf file will be saved to the Windows directory automatically. Thus, it's better to provide a full path, like /SAVEINF="C:\install.inf". Similarly, when you use /SILENT /SP- /LOADINF="install.inf", the program expects to find an install.inf file in the Windows directory, if it doesn't, it'll simply execute /SILENT /SP-, without the LOADINF part.Sorry if I'm wrong, I tried this on Kazaa Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.02, and found it out. Anyway, thanks for the switches . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WwTIPPYwW Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 ethux - i edited it out the path, thinking it was unneeded and so thanks for the update.My instructions do say where to save the INF to, and also the install has it as a full path.creating the INFinstall k-lite codec pack 2.25 on your computerusing the command line switch/SAVEINF="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install.inf"how i use the INFREG ADD %KEY%\115 /V 06 /D "%CDROM%\Software\klcodec225\klcodec225f.exe /VERYSILENT /SP- /LOADINF=\"%CDROM%\Software\klcodec225\install.inf\"" /f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethux Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Hey, I've been wondering, what is the /SP- switch for? I've managed to make it completely silent, however, it doesn't automatically install the Real and Quicktime plugins for my firefox browser, probably cause it'll require a dialog. I don't mind having a dialog for just a short while, so which is the switch that will allow dialogs when needed?Edit: Thanks by the way . Helped a lot!Edit: Pardon my laziness, I just found out what /SP is for./SP- Disables the This will install... Do you wish to continue? prompt at the beginning of Setup.Source: http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
