totoymola Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 how about running the installer, then going to your %temp% folder and copying the msi there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Ok, the msi in the temp folder is not working. So an alternative is to do an administrative install. Use the /A switch.Edit: Wow.. I can't believe it. The admin install is not working either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 u posted twice and it still isn't working LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoymola Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 u posted twice and it still isn't working LOLBecause those posts are just ideas. I didn't actually try them before posting.It is a script msi package, so it has to use the setup.exe to run. But I think there is a way to do this.

durex Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Well one strange thing I noticed.. at least with my installer.. you can also extract it using WinRaR... but it only extract the windows msi components and nothing thats actually executable to launch the cuteftp installer...Also, youll noticed that while the initial setup screen says installsheild, it actually uses Windows Installer... so the -r wont work.Theres gotta be a way to do this...

prathapml Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hey, since the MSI is asking for the setup.exe to run silently, try editing the MSI to remove requirement for setup.exe. There was such a post in the iTunes 4.7 thread.Other than that, cuteFTP has *GOT* to work with the setup.isssetup.exe -s -k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 prathapmlCan u take a peek at the program it is really small like 8 mbhttp://www.cuteftp.com/downloads/cuteftppro.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Are you using the shareware/trial version? tch tch...I've never seen trial products being made easy to install silent. Use the full/retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staples Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Complete CuteFTP Professional 6 MSI install instructions Download and run the install exe before you click on next button, There should be a directory in the %temp% directory with the following files "CuteFTP 6 Professional.msi" and "isscript.msi".To perform the install run the following command (batch file) with the two msi files in the same directory.@echo offmsiexec /i "isscript.msi" /qbmsiexec /i "CuteFTP 6 Professional.msi" issetupdriven=1 allusers=1 installlevel=1 reboot=reallysuppress /qbecho done installing CuteFTP Professional 6pauseYou still have to register the copy but it is installed.
