Unattended software installation

[lucius100]

I plan to do Unattended software Installation with autoit

I want to know what's the best way to create this ?

run it with silent parameters ?

and use 1 sec sleep function after each installation?

Using silent parameters is the best way.

A sleep after an installation is not necessary, but depends of what you have to do at this moment...

I put my switches etc in an .ini file and then just install like this

If $extension = "msi" Then
Run("msiexec /i " & '"' & $scriptDir & "\Software\" & $fileName & '" ' & $switch) ; For MSI type installers
Else
RunWait('"' & $scriptDir & "\Software\" & $fileName & '"' & " " & $switch) ; For EXE installers
EndIf

what is switch etc ?

[Chimaera]

$switch is where it reads the ini file

$switch = IniRead($iniFile, $fileName, "Switch", "")

like i say its just an example

Original code here

Do we really need to specify the regedit location?

For example the parameter code is "setup.exe" /s

I want to know if that code works in autoit too ?

I think it's more simple like that.

If you know what is the silent parameter, you just have to put it in your Run/RunWait/ShellExecute/ShellExecuteWait command.Be careful with the simples quotes

For example, with "setup.exe" /s : RunWait( '"setup" /s')
