      To help you a little bit with silent installers, let's get a bit more basic first.   When you install an app, any app,the default behavior is usually to do as you implied above - click Install, Next,

      And, IDM (original) installer doesn't have a silent switch. You can use my repack (see the installer repacks section of the forum) & specify it's silent switch (/VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SUPPRESSMSG

    May be you can post a spoiler of the programs you have already the silent switches for ;).

     

    Anyway:

     

    AdobeReader: /sPB /rs

    AdobeAIR: -silent

    ClassicShell: /qn (eventually /qn APPLICATIONFOLDER=C:\XYZ)

    AIDA64: (/LOADINF=AIDA64.inf) /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-

    Cyberfox: /Silent /TASKS="desktopicon,Install_Start_Menu_Icons"

    Firefox/Thunderbird: /S /NCRC

    IrfanView: iviewxxx_setup.exe /silent /folder="c:\test folder\irfanview" /desktop=1 /thumbs=1 /group=1 /allusers=0 /assoc=1 /ini="%APPDATA%\irfanview"

    IrfanView-Plugin: /silent

    PaintDotNET: a) <installer.exe> /createMsi CHECKFORBETAS=0 CHECKFORUPDATES=0 DESKTOPSHORTCUT=1 JPGPNGBMPEDITOR=0 PDNUPDATING=0 TGAEDITOR=0 (generiert x64 & x86)

                          b ) <PaintDotNet_xXX.msi> /passive /norestart

    RealPlayer: /s /v/qn

    Realtek-HD-Audio: setup.exe /s /f2c:\mylog.log /z[-rpC:\RHDSetup.log] (extract the archive before!)

    Shark007-Advanced: /S /v/qn (unzip the Advanced.exe before; if not ->>> undesired software)

    TeamViewer: /MSI /S

     

    Basically, if the installer allows the switches /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP- (see AIDA64) the user can try first to install the program on a running system with the switches

    /SAVEINF="xyz.inf" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-, selecting the options he wants, and then build the silent-installer (or put the switches in WTK)

    /LOADINF="xyz" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-

     

    Regards, Thiersee

    IrfanView: iviewxxx_setup.exe /silent /folder="c:\test folder\irfanview" /desktop=1 /thumbs=1 /group=1 /allusers=0 /assoc=1 /ini="%APPDATA%\irfanview"

    Will that work with just the /silent? Basically without the /folder and /ini. I'd rather keep things simple as it's for beginners :)

     

    P.S. I've already fixed the 'Malwarebytes' spelling bug :P

    .....

    Yes, it does, but:

    1) It doesn't set a desktop-link

    2) The user has to set the options for every user

     

    I think you can eliminate the switch /thumbs=1

     

    BTW, I use this way, because I need to copy italian language files (english and german are default).

    Is the hyphen needed?

    ImgBurn 2.5.8 without this f...... opencandy :  /NOCANDY /S

    ........

    Are you sure that ImgBurn installs OpenCandy?

     

    CDBurnerXP installs it for sure, if you don't take the minimal_version (without OpenCandy).

    A little note to burnaware-free : it will be installing a toolbar. my workaround for this: extract it with universal-extractor, delete the temp folder inside the extracted setup, then edit install.iss and compile it with inno-setup.

    You can do also this way (just tested):

     

    1) install in a VM with the switch /SAVEINF=burnaware.inf and user-defined installation

    2) untick the option for the Toolbar

    3 finish the installation

     

    To make it silent:

    1) installer & burnaware.inf in a folder

    2) in WTK thick the option "Copy Folder" and put "/LOADINF=burnaware.inf" as 1st switch then the other switches.

    Thanks for the tip. I will test it now.

    BTW:

    you can try this tip with every installer accepting the switches /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-.

     

    There is only one problem: not every installer read out the inf.

    normally I just create a bat file to run the exe with /? and it shows switches, however I found this: www.checkdevice.narod.ru/index/skf/0-36. to find the swiches.

    Test 3 has been released with more applications added......

    Thanks, but you forgot 1 line for PaintDot.NET

     

     

    PaintDotNET EXE: /createMsi CHECKFORBETAS=0 CHECKFORUPDATES=0 DESKTOPSHORTCUT=1 JPGPNGBMPEDITOR=0 PDNUPDATING=0 TGAEDITOR=0
    PaintDotNET MSI: /passive /norestart

    The first line is only to extract the .MSI-file with NO INSTALL!
