Cyberblizzard Posted April 7, 2005 Author Share Posted April 7, 2005 I tried it the same way as I installed version 6.2 and it works, no toolbar or search assistant are being installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I tried the same way as usual and it works fine for me tooThe only thing is that if I am silently installing over MSN 6.2, I get an automatic reboot! Is there a way to supress this action?***EDIT***Nevermind, It looks like any other .msi installer so I added:REBOOT=Suppressand it seems to be Ok now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Wilson Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Read the posts above, the guy has explained how to operate the switches so you dont have to install toolbar etc. Every version of MSN is pretty much built the same so the switches from previous versions should work on newer.

jbjones Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Start the exe installer and then check your windows temp folder for a newly extracted folder with the bootstrap.exe and MsnMsgs.msi files. My temp folder is located ...C:\Documents and Settings\jbjones\Local Settings\TempBy the way. Anyone know what the bootstrap file is? Is it needed for installation? I've always put it on my disc, but if it's not needed it would save a little extra space.JBJones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 just a quick note regarding getting the .msi from the .exe package...If you use WinRAR, you can right-click on the .exe and extract it to a folder.The msi will be in that extracted folder.Regards,N.
