NOTS3W Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 @ckislam:Yours seems to be the only thread regarding Google Earth 4. I hope you're still around.Does your script leave a shortcut to Google Earth on your desktop? When I use your iss file, I see a shortcut get created on the desktop then, just before the installation completes, it disappears.The shortcut remains after a manual installation. It only disappears when I use the iss file.I created my own setup.iss file using the /r switch to capture the responses and to be sure it wasn't a machine dependent problem, but I get a file that's identical to what you are writing with the echo statements, and the results are the same: no desktop icon.The exe I downloaded is named GoogleEarthWin.exe (not GoogleEarth.exe as you show) but the versions are exactly the same.Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckislam Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 i think you have to remove the shortcut with the del command. but this iss file worked only for the 4.0 version. I don't know why it doesn't work anymore for 4.1 !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTS3W Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I'm using the same version you referred to in your code block: 4.0.2737. That's why I was wondering if the desktop shortcut disappears as it does for me when you install with your routine. I usually delete the desktop shortcut after installing each application, but in this case, I wanted the desktop shortcut and it's the only one that's disappearing during install. Very frustrating.Good to know you're still here.Thanks.Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGhul Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi guys.I just made myself a switchless installer that seems to work pretty well, and installs fast. I Googled alot, then figured this out:1) Download Google Earth, obviously.2) Install using the "/a" switch (administrative install). It will ask you where you want the files to go. I suggest "C:\GE4", but it doesn't matter. Just remember where they went.3) Go to the folder. You'll see an .msi file, and a folder named "program files". Use 7zip to archive the folder, the .msi, and msistub.4) Now, just make a 7zip Self-Extracting Installer like you normally do.Here's keytotome's tutorial which will fill in the blanks for me:http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=51508Hope that helps you guys out.

ckislam Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 I used this switch without extraction and it works well./S/v/qn /V"/qb"To define custom installation Language, add /L"Lang-ID"For English for example use:/S/v/qn /V"/qb" /L"1033"For German use:/S/v/qn /V"/qb" /L"1031"To see a list of other languages visit this url Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadbug Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I used this switch without extraction and it works well./S/v/qn /V"/qb"Thanks.I can report that it still works well with 4.2.0205.5730 but you must remember to leave a space before the /V"/qb" otherwise the installation will no longer be silent.
