Unattended Applications

[ahmedramzi]

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.

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.
