themadduck Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 i had a similar problem and posted about it sometime last week i think. the answer i got was this:first run itunessetup.exe with the flag /R. this creates a setup.iss file in the windows directory. this file basically describes what options you chose in the install. make a backup of it, and then the /S /v /qn switch will work (as long as the iss file is still in the windows directory. the same trick works (i think) with the ipod system software setup. since in my unattended cd i have both programs install, i store each iss file in the same dir as the installer, and do a cmd /C copy sourcefile %windir%/setup.issin my runonceex batch.hope this helps!oh, btw i dont think quicktime matters much, but you're gonna want to have it not installed prior to making the iss file, because if it is one option during the setup wont appear and therefore wont get recorded.

alcium Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 indeed this is my real trouble,I already made multiple tries with the setup.iss file but it never worked (working with a hundred, or thousand I never remember the good one for 100, with each different configs and setups)thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcium Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 an advance in some ways ...the -3 response in the logfile means I do not have enough information in the iss fileso it could be because quicktime's already installed on some systems...I'll continue my investigations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durex Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 One thing that should be mentioned is that if youre performing the installation of itunes directly from the cd (in other words you dont copy all your software to the hard drive prior to install) and youre using the setup.iss file, you need to make sure you add the following parameter:-f2\"%systemdrive%\iTunes.log\"Using the setup.iss creates a log file and obviously if youre installing directly from your UA cd, youll need to tell the installer to place the log file on the hard drive someplace...
