Problem : NSIS Silent Install ("/S" doesn't work)

[r0sWell]

Hello ,

here's my new pb in my Unattended XP CD

i'm trying to install a Plugin for Winamp : the MAD plugin.

it uses a NSIS v1.3 Installer, but the "/S" switch doesn't work !

here is the code :

start /wait %systemdrive%\Hotfixes\Winamp\in_MAD_0.14.2b.exe /S

this doesn't work.

i don't know why cause NSIS usually works with "/S"

it's the PiMP 1.3 Installer it's seems...

and this windows appears each time i test the command :

for in advance for help

the developer of the package can alter NSIS routines so that /S is disabled. You'll have to either do a manual copy and see if that works, or you can use InstallRite or similar to create a silent install....

Yes, this switch doesn't work. I've had the same problem here.

However, as far as I know, most of those pink-hat plugins are extracted into one place after installation. So, it's easy to add them to a MSI as I told you before.

I do that and it works well. Just go to the Plugins directory and see what new folders or files were created there. The new plugin might be in the Plugins folder or inside a sub-folder.

EDIT:

For "in_MAD_0.14.2b", only two files are extracted to: C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins, they are:

- in_mad.dll

- in_mad.txt

Cheers!
