I have started with the obvious (/S /v/qn) switch, but is says the serial number is invalid, how can I incorporate the serial number into the command?

Any help would be appreciated.

Are there any takers for this?

There is an .ini file, but I don't know whether I shoud include the serial number in this and if so where ?

Someone must be able to help out?

is there a place in the INI for the serial?

There's no 'marker' for a serial number, but as the silent install says bad serial I am assuming it must be possible to put the serial in there, but if so what is the format??

The setup.ini file is :

I hope this helps.

try installing normally, then looking for the serial # in the registry.

Then export the registry settings out.

Then try to import the registry settings before installing silently.

Maybe you need the serial loaded in the registry to get the install to work silently.

good thinking WwTIPPYwW, but i'm afraid it didn't work, I even copied the whole key, but no good. it is the setup program that is asking for the key rather than the installed program, so something needs to be provided during setup I guess.

the only solution I can see id to put it in the .ini file, but the syntax & location seem to bethe issue.

maybe InstallRite or other type program.

Try editing your SETUP.INI file so it looks like this:

[startup]CmdLine=/passive ISX_SERIALNUM=XXXXX-XXX-XXXXXX NO_REBOOT="1" EREG="3"

Just replace the XXXXX-XXX-XXXXXX with your serial number and off you go No further switches should be required....

I got this from a Canon Scanner installation CD which includes OmniPage SE.

Hope this helps

didn't do the trick either, but thx anyway... any other suggestions? anyone?also does anyone know if u can integrate SP1 into the AIP? as far as i can see it's only available via the built-in update function.

ok nvm it's working now.. don't use the setup.exe launcher, but rather:

start /wait msiexec /i "ScanSoft OmniPage Pro 14.0.msi" /qb ISX_SERIALNUM=your-serial-here

i suppose u could use setup.exe and the /v switch aswell.. so.. anyone a suggestion for SP1 ?

Or this way via "setup.exe" :

setup.exe /S /V"ISX_SERIALNUM=XXXXX-XXX-XXXXXX /qn"
