knewman01 Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Anyone actually have iTunes 4.6 working silently? When I install it with this:REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "iTunes 4.6" /fREG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\install\applications\itunes\itunessetup.exe /s /v/qn" /fI get nothing. The setuplog that it gens is less than useful. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODC Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Same problem here. iTunes 4.6 will not install with the /s /v/qn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applelover Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 As you can see from the attached picture, this is an InstallShield application.Just use /s if you want the defaults, or create an iss by using /r /f1iTunes.iss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knewman01 Posted June 29, 2004 Author Share Posted June 29, 2004 Quite correct. /s might as well mean silently fail.I gave up. Installrite made a nice package out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODC Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Install itunes with itunessetup.exe -RCopy setup.iss file from windows to same folder as itunessetup.exeNow you can use itunessetup.exe -s to silent install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Or, you could try to see if iTunes installer supports creating an administrative install point (run setup.exe /A).Then, try some possible switches on the resulting installer folder (/s or /QB or something). Also, Installshield can have a .cfg (text) file in its folder which will forcibly be used for automation of setup (the .cfg is actually a renamed .iss).

Again:itunessetup.exe -RCopy setup.iss file from windows to same folder as itunessetup.exeNow you can use itunessetup.exe -s to silent install. (you do not need to extract itunessetup.exe)It even works from a %CDROM% location, just make sure the setup.iss and the itunessetup.exe are in the same folder.Here's a copy of my setup.iss file:[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-DlgOrder]Dlg0={00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdWelcome-0Count=8Dlg1={00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdLicense-0Dlg2={00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdShowInfoList-0Dlg3={00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-AskOptions-0Dlg4={00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-AskYesNo-0Dlg5={00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdAskDestPath-0Dlg6={00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdBitmap-0Dlg7={00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdFinish-0[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdWelcome-0]Result=1[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdLicense-0]Result=1[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdShowInfoList-0]Result=1[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-AskOptions-0]Result=1Sel-0=1Sel-1=1Sel-2=1[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-AskYesNo-0]Result=0[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdAskDestPath-0]szDir=C:\Program Files\iTunes\Result=1[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdBitmap-0]Result=1[{00FC6799-866E-44A1-A60C-DCF394CF56FD}-SdFinish-0]Result=1bOpt1=0bOpt2=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick2588 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yay, thank you!Note that the file generated when QuickTime is installed already is not compatible with the file needed when QuickTime isn't installed. The above is for a non-QT-installed system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Perhaps you guys could upload your .iss files to msfn instead of copying the entire file to a post, cause right now it looks a bit messy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manic-Man Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 This doesn't seem to work for me, could you please write up the exact code for the msdos batch file? Also, i use win xp, so c:\Programs won't work for me in the msi file, do I just change that to Program Files?Or is that still correct. Please help.
