Hey, we have used other switches before, but not the "/O" switch.

In the command

NAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb

which is run to make it install silently, what is the function of the "/O" switch ?

if I follow these directions, and install NAV, using this method, onto another computer, will it still work?

HELLO snakesnake,

YOUR BATCH IS :

*************************************************

4. batch file

here is the batch for the silent install

CLS

@echo off

ECHO.

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\navreg.reg

ECHO.

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\NAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb

ECHO.

taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe

CCPD-LC.exe

del "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\system32\CCPD-LC.exe"

EXIT

*************************************************

I MODIFIED TO :

======================================

CLS

@echo off

ECHO.

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\navreg.reg *** INCHANGED

ECHO.

REM taskkill.exe /F /IM symlcsvc.exe *** NOT USED

CCPD-LC.exe *** SECOND

del "%systemdrive%\WINDOWS\system32\CCPD-LC.exe" *** THIRD

ECHO.

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\NAV2005\NAVSetup.exe /O REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb *** BECAME FOURTH

EXIT

======================================

I assume that is very clear !

This Method is machine specific, therefore can not be used for other machine

HAVE A NICE DAY

This Method is machine specific, therefore can not be used for other machine.

Is there a method that would work on every machine?

Can you Guys make a final post of what do do?

i am confused

tks in advance

Can someone please confirm, In regards to the Computer name that is automatically generated at install, will it be exactly the same the next time a fresh install is done? I ask this in reference to the files that are copied over for pre activation

Of course the pre activated files are only valid for your machine !

So with that in mind will I have to instruct my computer to have a set name or will it automatically generate the same name next time?

i don't think the activation files uses the computer name

i tried my method first in vmware (vmware gives an other name to my computer) with the activation files of my "real" computer, and it worked

anyway, you can set a computer name in your unattend.txt (winnt and winnt32.sif)

do both work for ALL machines?

I need to be able to install this program on ANY computer.

can that work?

of course not !

the activation files you put in the sfx archive are specific to your machine

whats the /O for?

whats the /O for?

Right.

I would like to know that as well!

i don't know

i found that switch in a nav2004 topic, tried it and it worked

Well then, that being so, I'd make this cautionary note:

Please don't use switches, until you know exactly WHAT each one does.

I've been seeing "/O" for norton products, and "/W" for winrar installs being bandied about in the last few days. In both of these cases, these switches have no function, and its better to not use it - since using an unknown switch/tweak can cause more negatives than not using one.

No offense towards anybody, that's just a friendly cautionary piece.

When I tried to install NIS 2004 silently, it didn't work with just

REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qb, so I looked at the file with a hexeditor and found the /O swith.

That made it silent, but I don't know what else it does....
