Hi,

I have this app which doesn't support silent switches, and insists on a reboot of the machine. So it really disturbs the RunOnceEx-method.

I've used the forum search, but I really couldn't find anything useful.

Any suggestions?

may we know what program are you talking about? have you tried using ussf? its a command-line detector utility. otherwise, if that utility won't silent install the app you requested, perhaps try using scripting like autoit where it can simulate mouse and keyboard actions automatically.

Would it be possible to repack the app in an MSI file?

If the program really doesn't have silent switches you could create a second

runonceex.cmd file, (name it runonceex2.cmd for example) that installs that program and call it at the end of your first one.

I find my installations work more reliably using this method & would be a simple way to overcome the posters problem.
