some1 Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 okive used nLite to make my first unattended windows!but there are a few apps which i wanna ALWAYS want (winrar, zonealarm etc)I read about unattended installs for these, but I aint got a clue HOW to do it?Am I right in thinking that there is more than one way of doing it?
phkninja Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Yes there are numerous ways of doing it. Firstly its a good idea to repackage the programs you require [http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=39048] (unless they have a silent installers already. There is a utility called "Universal Silent Switch Finder" [http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=17940] that is helpful in finding the silent switches ). Te reason for this is so you dont have to click through all the installers.Once you have the programs in installers then you can choose which option to use.1)RunOnce method is the method used on OEM cds packaged with purchased computers like Dell etc. This is outlines on the unattended guide.2)WPI [http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=93] is used by many here3)WIHU [http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=24563] also used by many here.There are also other methods. WPI and WIHU are useful because you can create a menu of programs that can be installed. In creating the menu you can have defaults already selected, but also allow for you to select others (you dont always want to install every package). RunOnce installs everything so doesnt give a choice of packages to install.

The reason we know that they haven't modded the applications is because of the amount of people that have been using them. Also, we would never allow such a thing to happen at MSFN. If you want to do everything from scratch, go here.
