Hello all?

Whats the best method to test silent installs perferably the ones with more than one switch. like winamp. Is there an easier way than compiling the unattended cd and installing in vmware/virtualpc. I appreciate any sugguestions comments you may have.

Thanks in advacne.

I use this method posted by Maxxpsoft a while ago this is just an example edit to to suit your own needs

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "UnattendXP - Installing Applications" /f
REM /////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


[Nero_NVE]
REM     NOTES: Integrated Nero Burning ROM (Package 1) and Nero VisionExpress (Package 2) into ONE setup file.

REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "Nero 6.6.0.8 + Vision Express 3.1.0.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\Nero_NVE\Nero_NVE.exe" /f



REM /////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
pause
rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess
EXIT 


REM NOTE: Just make sure you change the /V Inum /D to the number's like /V 1 /D
REM What that does is run the reg install and you can see if each is sucessful , and then pause so you can check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx key to make sure everything looks right. Then it executes the Install just like you in setup with the rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess
