DeltaCom Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Need to make an OO.o 3.1.1 addon for an XP disc, but i can't find one ANYWHERE..Does anyone have the switches i would need for a silent install? or the addon it's self? Quote
Mr_Smartepants Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Doesn't '/S' work anymore? It's what I used with 3.0.1. Quote
sonica Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 hi,if u find a solution can u help me to integrate it?thank you Quote
beats Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Extract the setup file, and run the MSI with /qb or /qn. For more details, see the OO Admin Guide:http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide/Windows Quote
DeltaCom Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Alright, how do i tell it to do it's switches? extract then just recompress the .exe with winrar and add the switches that way? Thats what i did with my AVG 9.0 installer.EDIT: getting an error about being unable to recompress it after i extract it so thats now how it do it.. Edited November 23, 2009 by DeltaCom Quote
beats Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) How do you mean recompress? Anyway, I wrote a guide for Avast, but it will work for any other application as well. Just replace "Setup=Avast.exe /SILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-" with "Setup=OpenOffice.msi /qb" in the example. Edited November 23, 2009 by beats Quote
DeltaCom Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 did the above, and it claims it can not find the installer "openoffice31.msi" which is a direct copy of the file name.. Quote

After the usual questions, eg "installation folder", etc ...when comes a progress bar. Click in Cancel. This initial installation will create a folder on your Desktop.- Go to your Desktop and find the folder "OpenOffice.org 3.1 (en-US) Installation Files". ..Copy all files of folder to a new temporary folder. (e.g. D:\Temp)- In D:\Temp, select all files and with WinRAR, right button of the mouse, click and select "Add to file..."- Give the name, e.g. "OpenOffice", select SFX > Advanced > SFX option > and in 'Run after extraction', type:msiexec.exe /i "openofficeorg31.msi" /qn- In Methods, choice 'Unpack to temporary folder' and 'Hide All'- In Update, choice 'Substitute all files'- OK and Ok --> You have your Silent Install of app. It's work fine and silently...
