script question


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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...
