Country73 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I just finished up an install that had the Ask.com install. Since it was a streamline install, there weren't any switches to omit the Ask.com installation. What I did was simply run: RunWait('msiexec /X{86D4B82A-ABED-442A-BE86-96357B70F4FE} /qb!',@SystemDir,@SW_HIDE) I had that at the very end of my installation. **If you don't want a User Interface to show at all, for this uninstall, then use the switch /qn If you try to fail and succeed which have you done?AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maclovin Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have to admit that I don't understand what the RunWait (msiexec bla bla bla bla) mean. What does it do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepydvdr Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Run starts the application you want and then goes to you next command. Runwait starts the application you want but does not go to your next command until the application you started has terminated. Msi installers are not run directly. You must use msiexec to call msiexec.exe in your Windows system folder. The msiexec.exe installs the .msi file.

sleepydvdr Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Just to note, that program's website has different installers (and even a portable version). The .exe installer has the Ask toolbar, but the .msi installer did not have it. #include <ByteMe.au3> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maclovin Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 The file i am trying to install is a .exe-file. Big difference? Thanks for the advice on the msiexec though. Useful info in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country73 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 All really depends on how the EXE was put together. Some may take command line switches, some won't at all. Generally I'll go out to http://www.appdeploy.com/ whenever I start working on packaging up an application. You'll find a lot of useful info on automating installations. Command lines used, etc... If you try to fail and succeed which have you done?AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
