Im confused about when it says look at the link for an example http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/winrar.htm

Add these lines to your batch file:

ECHO.

ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.20

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WinRAR\wrar320.exe /s

I am doing a silent install of winrar and dont know what batch file it is talking about.

how would you do a silent install without a batch?

This is my first time doing a silent install and im trying to figure out what to do. Do I make my own batch file?

hi

u can do a silent install WITHOUT a batch file (just use the winnt.sif file)

but back 2 the original question

open notepad goto file > save as, next name it Applications.bat put quotes around it, so its like

"Applications.bat"

thats it should now see the icon has changed wherever u saved it 2, it will have a "gear" icon

Where do I put the batch file?

anywhere, most ppl usually put it in

$OEM$\$1\Install\Apps\<place Batch file Here>

then just refrence your GUIRunOnce section to it

[GuiRunOnce]

%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\Applications.bat

Figured it out
