Hi, Welcome to MSFN.ORG

I don't really know if I understand your question but I will answer it the best way I can.

What is a switch

A switch is a bit of information that you hand-out to the installer. The information tells the installer to use (a for that installer specific) command.

As an example WISE installers use the /S switch. If you use this switch like for instance adawarese.exe /S the installer is told to do a silent install.

What switch should I use?

Like I said before, every installer has it's own switches. Most of the time you can recognize it easily (if you open the setup it is sometimes displayed, or you can see it by looking at the icon).

Check-out this page for information about the most important installers.

If you don't have a clue: you can do the following:

- use /? or /help : This provides you with some information of the switches that can be used. adawarese.exe /?

- You can also use the Universal Silent Switch Finder. This cool program detects alot of switches. Check-out this topic

- Take a look at the Application switches topic

I hope this helps!

Good luck
