Steam Trout Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I want some of my applications to install in the last possible moment (they are the ones I am unable to find silent switches for or the ones which do require my interaction in one way or another) so I just put their install order to some high value (like 999). However the problem is that I don't have apps marked as 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. so my 999th application still installs in the same order WPI installs all other apps. I really don't want to go trough the list and assign install order values to each of them so is there any way to circumvent this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawrenca Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 @Steam Trout,You could always open your config.js file in notepad, notepad++, or whatever editor you like and do a string replace for all the order numbers that are absent...put order numbers in but make them all lower numbers (i.e. ordr[pn]=[1]) than the higher numbered ones you want to install last, shouldn't be much of an issue making them all the same since you don't care what order they get sorted in. They will still get installed before the higher numbers.On another note, there shouldn't be an install you can't make silent given a bunch of different techniques and initiative. At the very least, you can always use the Scriptwriter in AutoIT to do the work. It will record your keystrokes as you answer the dialog boxes.AutoIT Guide to Silent Installs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
