Hi,

I want to incorporate the silent install of another product along with mine.

The problem is the other setup requires lots of options changing during setup. I believe I can specify these on the command line using msiexec.

But how do I find out exactly what options are available to me (i.e. the variable names etc.) without having access to the original script?

Thanks

You can open the msi file in Orca or some other MSI editor to see the property names that are associated to checkboxes, editboxes etc. Or you generate a verbose log to see the properties and their values so you know which properties to set on the command line. Or you use a tool (like InstalLShield) that can do this for you, generating a "response transform".

About combobox, how can I select the good parameters in /quiet mode?
I have 2 combobox in my installation but I can't initialise it well dry.gif

CODE

setup /L1033 /V"
/quiet
USERNAME=\"TESTDAVE\"
COMPANYNAME=\"GDBIDave\"
INSTALLED_HICAD=\"c:\EGR\"
HICAD_OC_DIR=\"c:\EGR\"
HICADDIR=\"c:\EGR\"
HICAD=\"c:\EGR\"
CURRENCY=\"GBP\"
TAX=\"0.21\"
INSTALLDIR=\"c:\EGR\""


TAX and CURRENCY are the both combobox and the the value is the same of field Value in Orca.
Do I need to use another? like Order or Text?
