The Official Switches Thread Only

[RickoSauve]

I have searched everywhere and tried everything but I cannot get Roxio easy Cd Creator to install silently. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions PLEASE leave post them. I have never been so frustrated as I am with this stupid program. Thanks in advance.

OK i have a bootable dvd with XP and SP1 as well as nortons 2003,kazaa lite,

msn 6.1, media player 9 and a few others

But how do i get a silent install of the following

Publisher xp 2002

win mx

I have looked and looked for these for two days solid and am now going a bit crazy

(yes another newbie so be kind to me please)

[discarnet]

bloody hell that last one came out a bit on the big size

[prathapml]

Look for publisher XP info here : http://unattended.MSFN.org/xp/officexp.htm

As for WinMX, just try the switches you know, one of those may turn out to be the right one. Identify which Installer it uses and look-up the guide at http://unattended.MSFN.org/xp/applications.htm for info on how to use that installer app in unattended mode.

or type the installer's name:

"winmx-setup-version.exe /?"

the /? switch asks the setup program as to which switches it supports.

If nothing else works, you know what to do - do what you used to do before you automated windows and apps setup.

Roxio Easy CD Creator 5:

Since it is an MS installer (.msi) based install, i'd be surprised if it doesn't support the "/QB" switch. Anyway, the setup.ini of ECDC5 informs that "/S" is the silent mode to install it. If it asks to reboot (Yes/No) after install, append "Reboot=suppress" to the install command line.

For example:

"<easy cd creator 5 setup folder>\ECDC5.msi /S Reboot=Suppress"

must work. Please do check and tell us if it worked, or if it did not, did you get any other switch ?

The directx 9.0b OPK comes from http://oem.microsoft.com

Does it have OPK's for WMP9 Win2000 edition in there?

I know there is one on the unattended site but I have no clue if it is XP specific or not.

[RickoSauve]

I ran the ECDC6.msi file with /qb Reboot=Supress switches and I got things started although it failed due to ar error saying "could not access network location PhotoSuite". I have no idea what that means and I have tried searching the internet and the Roxio website, although they might actually have the worst support system ever, and I found nothing. I appreciate everyones help. Just in case others are trying to accomplish the same thing I am. I have discovered that you can run the setup.exe file with a /a switch and get a network install copy but I have no idea what to do with that new file or anything. Sorry and thank you for any future and past help that I have received.

Does anyone know how to install Acrobat 5 (not the reader, but the writer)? And has anyone figured out Norton Live Update and the updated Virus Definitions. THanks.

[elduderino]

Anyone have switches for these?

6) Spybot Search and Destroy

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\spybot\spybotsd12.exe /silent

Works for me

[Zyrill]

I have a problem regarding Alcohol 120% silent install: it keeps wanting to restart... The Setup always asks wether or not I want to restart - I say: STFU. Unfortunately the setup seems unable to understand me... the script I'm using is as follows:

start /wait setup.msi /QB
REGEDIT /S register.reg

If I omit the B it restarts instantly... I'm trying to install version 1.4.8.1222 that way.

[Aaron]

Don't use the msi, use the setup.exe file. Execute as:

setup.exe /qn Reboot=Suppress

[Zyrill]

thx! it works
