  • Silent Installation switches for DT 4.06

    Hi,
    as I can't find out about the silent install switches for the DT installer I wanted to ask about it here. I'm currently integrating a bunch of free programs into WPI (windows post installation) and all those programs should of course work silently.

    Are there switches for silent install, and are there also some to prevent the adware to be automatically installed on my computer? Or do I have to use scripting (e.g. with AutoIt3) in order to install DT 4.06 silently?

    Any answer is appreciated.

    Silent installation switches are not supported.
    Everybody be cool! You, be cool!
    They'll keep fighting! And they'll win!

      You could use /S which is common for the Nullsoft installer. However, that will only silently install DTools itself, not SPTD. You'll need to install it seperately first.

        Where can I get the newest version of SPTD? And does it support silent switches, and should DT see that there's an existing version of SPTD when I start its installation afterwards?

          You can get the latest SPTD in the download section or here:

            Mh, seems like the SPTD installer doesn't have any silent installation switch...

            I've found something interesting over at the MSFN forums.. The user named maxximum, which I give fuull credit for this, has posted a script for AutoIt3 there which handles the full install, including reboot, of DT 4.06HE. You just need to make the settings in there, compile it and get a fully working .exe file for a not so silent, but at least automatic install.

            Code:
            #region - Daemon Tools v4.06HE install script - (Automated with WinExists functions)
            
            Opt('TrayIconDebug', 1)
            
            ; Installer.
            $executable = 'daemon406-x86.exe'
            
            ; Show progess.
            $splash = 0
            
            ; Default catagory folder in startmenu.
            $group = 'Burning software'
            
            ; New catagory to move the default folder into.
            $catagory = ''
            
            ; Installation folder in Program Files.
            ; $directory = 'DAEMON Tools'
            $directory = 'Daemon Tools'
            
            ; Allowed time for installation.
            $allowed = 300 * 1000
            
            ; The next setting should be 0 unless you want to reboot imediately.
            ; Auto or manual reboot. (either choice will runonce the installer at next reboot).
            $auto_reboot = 0
            
            ; The next setting is not used if $auto_reboot = 1.
            ; Desktop Reboot. (Set to 1 if you want the script to handle the reboot into the 2nd part of install)
            $desktop_reboot = 0
            
            ; ** README ""
            ; Check values above and "Remove shortcuts" section below are correct.
            ; This is a 2 part install. The 2nd part automatically happens on reboot at HKCU\RunOnce
            ;   which is when the Startup folder is processed and the Desktop is active. This script
