I've spent the last two hours trying to find information on any command-line switches for the Internet Explorer 7 installer "IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe" or any of the contained files within it.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I know alternative installation methods exist but I'd like to try it officially first.

Thanks.

try doing /? as with 95% of MS other apps and it will show what you need

use this switch in RunOnceEx.cmd : "IE7.exe /quiet /update-no /norestart".

it worked for me. if i install ie7 through svcpack.inf, other hotfixes are not getting installed.

after RunOnceEx.cmd executes fully, restart and apply the attached reg file(which i got from this site and edited) for some tweaks.
