itunes 4.7 silent install - working solution here

[hulala.[uk]]

hi all,

as i said i will repackage it so here you go:

UPDATED 23.03.2005, NEW VERSION V2

itunes 4.7.1.30.msi (15.1Mb)

all bugs in previous installer are now fixed, now your PROGRAMFILES variable will be used as itunes directory. no stupid on start registry keys, no stupid shortcuts and its smaller than original installer.

just run it no need for any keys

ive tested it myself and the only one thing to bear in mind is if you want to use your iPod straight away after installation you will need to restart your pc first, this is for ipodservice to register.

also it cant upgrade older version it only can install from scratch.

good luck

hey hulala... any chance you could make this so that you can redirect the install path?

[hulala.[uk]]

is INSTALLDIR = %YOURPROGRAMFOLDER% not doing it? i can adjust msi for you if you want...you can also do it yourself just get M$'s orca and modify path inside the msi.

HAPPY NEW YEAR:)

Yea, I tried installdir and no dice.

If its quick for you to do thatd be awesome, if not dont worry about it, ive already got a method that works without issue using vbscript and setup.iss.

oh and a happy new year to you as well!

hmm doesn't work for me...

Does this use standard settings, like use itunes and quicktime as default player for media files?

[durex]

You dont select that when you install iTunes normally... you choose that upon the 1st time you run it.

[lilweirddude]

[hulala.[uk]]

well /qb will just give you progress bar /qn will make it completely silent/hidden

msiexec /i %INSTALLDIR%\iTunes_4.7.1.30.MSI /qn

[durex]

you need to use msiexec with it?

[hulala.[uk]]
