Use Run or ShellExecute. If you have difficulties, post again with your code and you'll get some assistance from some better coders here..

Here are examples of using run, comspec and required quotes

Thanks for a quick response. I'm really new to scripting, so please bare me if I don't make any sense.

I used ShellExecute and was successful in getting the applicaiton installed silently, but was not able to pass the parameters that I wanted to. This is what I have in my script:

ShellExecute("\\Server\Dragon\DNS10\setup.exe", "/S /v/qn, SERIALNUMBER=xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx ADDLOCAL=ALL ALLUSERS=1 WEBREGISTRATION=1 DEFAULTSINI=nsdefaults.ini ROAMINGUSERINI=roamingdef.ini ROAMINGUSEROPTIONS=testroamoptions.ini")

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not sure if I understand you but, you want to hide the CMD window?

Run("\\Server\Dragon\DNS10\setup.exe", "/S /v/qn, SERIALNUMBER=xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx ADDLOCAL=ALL ALLUSERS=1 WEBREGISTRATION=1 DEFAULTSINI=nsdefaults.ini ROAMINGUSERINI=roamingdef.ini ROAMINGUSEROPTIONS=testroamoptions.ini", "", @SW_HIDE)

ShellExecute("\\Server\Dragon\DNS10\setup.exe", "/S /v/qn, SERIALNUMBER=xxxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx ADDLOCAL=ALL ALLUSERS=1 WEBREGISTRATION=1 DEFAULTSINI=nsdefaults.ini ROAMINGUSERINI=roamingdef.ini ROAMINGUSEROPTIONS=testroamoptions.ini")

If I don't mistaking you need a space between /v and /qn.
