Installing All/or part of Plus! DME

[trm96]

What I want to do is install Plus! DME but i only want to install certain components of it and do it silently. How do I go about doing this?

[prathapml]

Plus! DME uses MSI installer. So the "/QB" switch will work.

As for selecting which components you want to install, you could probably do that by creating an MST file (MSI transform, just like how you do it for office2003).

Thanks prathapml, but I got a program for Office 2003 to make an MST but where do I find a program to make an MST for DME?

[Tsunami]

I believe there's only one program to make a MST, and that's the one for Office. So try using that.

[trm96]

ok Tsunami, I will try it...

I cannot get it to work. I tryed it the same way as i did for office

%systemdrive%\install\apps\DME\setup.exe transforms=%systemdrive%\install\apps\DME\dme.mst /qn

but it did not work.

You can make a MST file for any MSI installer using the Wise Package Studio. Maybe you can download the demo version and try it. The specific tool inside WPS is called Install Tailor IIRC.

Try

%systemdrive%\install\apps\DME\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=dme.mst /qn

Or if that doesn't work, use the MSI file, like below:

msiexec /i %systemdrive%\install\apps\DME\filename.MSI TRANSFORMS=dme.mst /qn

[trm96]

Try

%systemdrive%\install\apps\DME\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=dme.mst /qn

Or if that doesn't work, use the MSI file, like below:

msiexec /i %systemdrive%\install\apps\DME\filename.MSI TRANSFORMS=dme.mst /qn

ok Will do. I will report back with the results...

Well it does install DME silently, but it installed all of the apps included in DME not just the ones i specified whilst making the mst. What really want it to install is just Party mode and nothing else.

Create an AUTOIT script. It'll install exactly what you want.

Create an AUTOIT script.  It'll install exactly what you want.

I have no idea how to even use AutoIt

[trm96]

Can I install it via an inf file. If so how would i call it in my batch file and what lines would I have to delete to have it just install "party mode"? I have attached a copy of the inf file...
