Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	now now. that is for the default installation. but if you want to modify the target and the pieces installed? I suggest you still keep searching for installation readme. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Co Co MM club member Registered: 2000-11-20 Posts: 1342 Loc: NL	Then create a response file with parameter /r: "/r : Record mode (Standard projects only) In order to run a Standard-project installation program in silent mode, one must first run Setup.exe with the /r switch to generate a response file, which stores information about the data entered and options selected by the user at run time. Running a Standard installation program with the command Setup.exe /r displays all the run-time dialog boxes, and stores the data in a file called Setup.iss, created inside the system's Windows folder. To specify an alternative response file name and location, use the /f1 argument, described below. Basic MSI projects do not create or use a response file for silent installations." ( Q105473 - Installshield) Otherwise use Wise/Installshield or Wininstall to create a MSI or MST file.... and start it from the script.. _________________________ Co
