Skype silent install

[brodriguez]

Hi,

I'm looking to automate and setup a silent install of Skype, to be used multiple times within a workplace with the following .exe

http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/

From my understanding AutoIT is a good way to achieve this, however I am completely new to it.

Upon running the installer, I would like the following to happen:

Allow the following program to make changes to this computer - Yes

Untick run Skype when computer starts then select "I agree-next"

Untick Install Skype to call then click continue.

Untick Make Bing my search engine and make MSN my homepage then click continue.

Skype seems to allow a silent install. This means you can pass the needed flags at installation time.

SkypeSetup is a downloader, you can't use silent switch. You must dowload the msi installer

Then use the msiexec command and use options with the MSI package
