Radimus Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 if you start an install, it extracts a MSI to the ...\local settings\temp folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 For the extracted msiCommand line parameters:/L language ID/S Hide intialization dialog. For silent mode use: /S /v/qn./V parameters to MsiExec.exeI guess the latter will be these/P password mode/A administrative installation/J advertise mode/X uninstall mode/F repair mode/B cache installation locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekrel Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Might try this app, as I used to use GIANT Antispyware before MS bought them over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 An acquaintance of mine has just installed it along side Spybot and Adaware, and it picked up more than half a dozen things missed by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpyr Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I tried a few things with the msi and no luck yet. It does install silently with the /passive switch but the program gives me an error when starting it. I will report back with more info if i get any.

Mekrel Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 it does work with the msi im pretty sure, as GIANT did before they bought them.Weird, it is GIANT Anti Spyware but now with microsoft plastered all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Sechrist Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 It does not work with the msi file and it does not work with the exe installer.Installs silently, but generates an error when started. Only fix I can find is to install manually, then it starts and runs fine.There's obviously an error with the installer. Hope the next Microsoft update fixes the problem.

JasonGW Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yeah, but just TRY installing it on a Windows 98 box! Of course, if you're using Win98, you're obviously insane anyway...Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98EXL Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 I am really sorry that I got some people's hopes up....I thought this would be a no brainer install...........things I did figure out that was wierd was if I used the same switches from the command line, the sw would install fine silently...just not with the RunOnceEX.cmd....that I find strange. Above all, I've only been doing this for 2 weeks...so I am still a noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
