1; the LClock switch is mentioned on the site and i'm pretty sure it is /S (case sensitive)

2; use /quiet or /passive (standard msi switches)

3; mentioned elsewhere i believe

4; do you know what type of installer it is? look here for advice of recognition and stuff, http://unattended.msfn.org/ click intermediate

None of these switches actually work though.

3. Tried searching, did not find it. Any hints where to look? Thanks.

4. Seems to be exactly the same as 2.

2; the toolkit i just ran /passive with no issues => check you have .net framework installed and you've quotes around the file name as it has spaces in it

3; for mdac, do a search and you should get some results. i just did and seems you install via svcpack.inf file

4; for the xpshell thing use /S, case sensitive, (just guessed and it worked)

2. Got it, trouble was with the spaces in the file name and the quotes in the bat file. Removed spaces from filename and quotes as well - it works now, thanks.

3. Found it, thanks.
