Google Toolbar Silent Install?

[996]

is it possible to install the google toolbar silently?

what are the switches?

I haven't found a way, so I wrote a VBS script

'Automatic, but not silent install of Google Toolbar

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
On Error Resume Next
WshShell.Popup "Do NOT MOVE the mouse an do NOT PRESS any button!",5," - Warning - ",48

'Run setup from location on hdd'
'you have to check the path !
WshShell.Run ("%systemdrive%\install\Applications\google\google.exe")

'if your hdd is very slow, increase the next value
WScript.Sleep 2000

'don't use "{n 5}" instead of five times "n" !
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" 
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" 
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
WScript.Sleep 1000
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" 
WScript.Sleep 1000

wow, very impressive. i am slowly getting into these vbs scripts.

however it doesn't work for me... does it need to be in the setup environment in order to work? it start the setup just fine but the keys down't work...

???

I have the googletoolbarinstaller.exe and it installs silently with just a /q after it?.
