Hi can anyone tell me if it is possible to silently install MSN messenger Silently as part of an Unattended Windows Install??

Im transposing the method described in this thread here from wmp10 to msn to extract the files to my HDD.

"D:\New\Programs\Install_MSN_Messenger.exe /Q /C /T:C:\SP2"

I have 2 files bootstrap.exe & MsnMsgs.msi.

I think i sussed it to the point where u would enter "setup_wm.exe /DisallowSystemRestore /Q:A /R:N" in the WMP10Silent setup

Im just not sure of the switches for MSN that match this.

Can Anyone Help

7.0 but i think it should work, the Regedit files are keys I grab that I want set, you can add what you need.

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /VE /D "MSN Messenger 7.0"

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 101 /D "CMD /C Start /Wait F:\APPS\MSNmsgr7.0\MsnMsgs.msi /QB" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 102 /D "CMD /C Start /Wait SLEEP.EXE 3" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 103 /D "CMD /C RD \"%USERPROFILE%\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\" /S /Q"" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 104 /D "CMD /C Start /Wait SLEEP.EXE 5" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 105 /D "cmd /c XCOPY \"F:\APPS\MSNmsgr7.0\MSN Messenger\" \"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\" /I /E /H /Y" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 106 /D "REGEDIT /S F:\APPS\MSNmsgr7.0\MSNmsgr7.01.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 107 /D "REGEDIT /S F:\APPS\MSNmsgr7.0\MSNmsgr7.02.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 108 /D "REGEDIT /S F:\APPS\MSNmsgr7.0\MSNmsgr7.03.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 109 /D "REGEDIT /S F:\APPS\MSNmsgr7.0\MSNmsgr7.04.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 110 /D "CMD /C COPY \"F:\APPS\MSNmsgr7.0\msnmsgr.exe\" \"%ProgramFiles%\MSN Messenger\" /Y" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 111 /D "CMD /C COPY \"F:\APPS\MSNmsgr7.0\msgslang.dll\" \"%ProgramFiles%\MSN Messenger\" /Y" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\1001 /V 112 /D "CMD /C REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v \"MsnMsgr\" /f" /f""
