I have an 'Iomega 100 internal IDE' drive and would like to be able to install it's drivers and utilities (IomegaWare) thru a silent install via start.cmd (unless there is another better way).

Could someone please help with this? Thanks.

Probably you can install it with the proper switches. (as you say it's an installer)

Yes 'IomegaWare™ 4.0.2' is an installer and the file name is 'ioware-w32-x86-402.exe'. Thus what I need are the proper switches to silent install it.

Maybe I should have posted this in the 'Application Switches' section.

This might be better, but it's also fine to be placed here, as it has to do with Drivers.

Just take a look at the Setup window to determine what installer is used.

How does one tell from the setup window what kind of installer it is?

They had to make it hard for me. I looked at and compared all five with the Setup Screen of 'ioware-w32-x86-402.exe' and it is not similiar to any of them. Now what?

Try switches like -s or -S or /S or /silent or something alike. Prolly it's one of them!

Thanks 'Bâshrat the Sneaky', I think I got it working with your help. Ofcourse I won't know for sure till I can test the CD on a real PC which will be tommorow. For now it seems the "/s" switch works just fine.

ECHO.
ECHO Installing IomegaWare 4.0.2
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Drivers\Iomega\ioware-w32-x86-402.exe /s
