How To Install Autoit Silently

How to install AutoIt silently ? "/S" does not work

[CyberSlug]

I do not think the installer currently supports this option.

This seems rather ironic: AutoIt is often used to automate installers that lack a silent/no-user-interaction option--and the AutoIt installer has this very deficiency!

Just copy the Autoit3.exe file and set the shell extension in the registry.

Ah... I love all-in-one-folder software

I've been waiting for this to be found out...

If I'm mistaken, please forgve me but every single time I've seen this request on the Yahoo forum, it was because the requestor thought AutoIt had to be installed on each machine that compiled scripts are run on. You know that is NOT the case, right?

I understand you can install the full package but why not to deliver your script in compile format. Is An extra 100K by script to much?

Remember you always can execute a script by "AutoIT3.exe scriptnamefile"

You guys are all on crack...

autoit-v3-setup.exe supports silent installation, but it requires a capitol "S" not lower case. I use the following code to download autoit and install it silently all the time.

BTW the case sensativity is something specific to NSIS.

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/nsis.htm

Func AutoIT3()
    If urldownloadtofile("http://www.hiddensoft.com/cgi-bin/getfile.pl?autoit3/autoit-v3-setup.exe", @Tempdir & "\AutoIt.exe") then
        runwait(@Tempdir & "\AutoIt.exe /S")
        FileDelete(@Tempdir & "\AutoIt.exe")
    EndIF
EndFunc

bcording's right, /S does work just fine. I just tested with both 101 and 102.

I found the solution: (CMD.EXE is required for some obscured raisons)

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE  /D "AutoIt 3" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "CMD.EXE /C%SystemDrive%\Install\AutoIt3\autoit-v3-setup.bld101.exe /S" /f

The following DOES NOT work:

REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE  /D "AutoIt 3" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\AutoIt3\autoit-v3-setup.bld101.exe /S" /f

Note:

The previous commands are for an unattended installation, and are to be placed in a .CMD file called from $OEM$\cmdlines.txt

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

Thanks to all of you for your remarks

I install AutoIt silently with An Autoit Script

All I use is

RunWait("autoit-v3-setup.exe /S")

Place Scipt in same Dir as autoit-v3-setup.exe

Works like a charm

I use AutoIt for all my silent installs and the all works like a charm.

@bshoenhair: It worked well for me. Also, for SciTE4AutoIt3 plugins:

RunWait("SciTE4AutoIt3.exe /S")

and for uninstall:

RunWait("C:Program FilesAutoIt3Uninstall.exe /S")

Do you realize this thread is nearly 8 years old?

[PPCC]

Yes, til now.

But I'm learning from it.
