HELP! Silent install Skype with options unchecked


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm looking to install Skype 2.5 silently.

In fact it's possible to run it with switches like:

SkypeSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-

But i'm looking to disable the install options: Launch Skype after Installation and Start Skype when the computer starts (see image bellow).

To get that i've to

1) Yes, I accept the Eula...: AutoIt command send("!a")

2) Click on [Options]

Here the given details with AutoIt Info for [Options]:

>>>>>>>>>>>> Window Details <<<<<<<<<<<<<
Title:  Skype - Install
Class:  TWizardForm.UnicodeClass
Size:   X: 259  Y: 151  W: 506  H: 435

3) Here the given details for the uncheck of "Launch Skype after Installation" neither "Start Skype when the computer starts":

Have you tried the /nostartup switch for the command line parameters?

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Hi,

There is NO need of /nostartup switch. By using

SkypeSetup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-
, Skype is NOT launched after the Installation.

What i'm looking in partuculary is to disable "Start Skype when the computer starts". BTW, i couldn't found the disabling registry too.

Hi,

checked the ControlCommand as advised by exodius... doesn'works

Here bellow the script i wrote. Tested working.

Run("SkypeSetup.exe")

WinWaitActive("Skype")
Send("!a")
controlclick("Skype", "", "TTntButton.UnicodeClass1")
Send("{TAB 3}{DOWN 2}{SPACE}{DOWN}{SPACE}")
Send("!i")

I'm opened for any suggestion replacing

Send("{TAB 3}{DOWN 2}{SPACE}{DOWN}{SPACE}")

Regards

I still don't understand why you don't just do the silent install with the command line parameters, then change the registry settings so it doesn't start on startup. Would be 2 lines that way.

It could be in the Run keys, service keys or in the startup folder. I would doubt that it is in the driver startup. AutoRuns from Systernals may help you find the entry perhaps. A snapshot progam could help also.
