Can I make a silent install for programs that needs a serial number or product key?

is there any method to accomplish that?

examples for some applications:

ACDSee PowerPack 6

Adobe Acrobat writer Pro 6

also how can i silent install winamp 2.81 - Internet Explorer 6 SP1 - Kazaa lite

- K-lite codec pack - realone player v2- quicktime 6.1- Download Accelerator plus 5.3.

I know that's too much for a single topic, but your solutions says that you have an answer for everything..

thanks.

often if you export from HKLM\software\****application***** using regedit and then import this using main_batch.cmd before silently installing the program it often will retain the product registration details.

here is some switches as you requested again for your main_batch.cmd;

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Kazza Lite K-plus-plus 2.43
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\klitekpp243e.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-

or use InstallRite (google for link) which is freeware you can install your applications totally automated with the serial number and also the files are compressed to a high level to save lots of room for your final CD.

thx guys, you've been very helpful

I'll tell you i anything went wrong

much appreciated thanks glad you found the information usefull.

does anyone knows how to silent install these programs and attach it in my unattended XP CD?

winamp 2.81 - Internet Explorer 6 SP1 - realone player v2- quicktime player 6.1- Download Accelerator plus 5.3.

if you're making a WinXP CD, you don't need IE6SP1 to slipstream....

not sure with Win2k though

what does the /sp- switch do?

what does the /sp- switch do?

Stops the "Do you want to install ISObuster 1.4 Yes | No" dialog box from appearing.

pmcx9 instead of using the components switch u could use the /SAVEINF to make a inf file while installing what u want and then use /LOADINF to use the setting in that file thats what i do. Just a suggestion.
