NYCBetaSte Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 hi guys basically right now im composing my windows xp sp2 cd and im trying to have programs install during the xp setup as ive seen someone else do and im asking about what those commands mean "what does /s /v /qn /qb mean" if i can figure out what those mean i can move on in my editing of the command.cmd file as i have been changing a few things and so far been successful if someone can please tell me another program to do this easier id gladly say thanks and test it out here is a few rows of which im trying to adjust for example ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.20 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\WinRAR\wrar320.exe /s ECHO. now i have successfully updated that to version wrar330 and will try to get wrar340 to install and work correctly another example is ECHO Installing Nero Burning ROM v6.0.0.19 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Nero\Nero60019.exe /silent /noreboot ECHO. this i have succesfully changed to ECHO Installing Nero Burning ROM v6.6.0.3 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Nero\nero6603.exe /silent /noreboot ECHO. now i dont know what /silent and /noreboot mean exactly but i can assume that means to install the file silent must mean not to stop or do something silly and noreboot must mean not to reboot and carry on to the next step... as u can see im new to this so im asking advice my next change will involve this ECHO Installing Adobe Reader 6 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\AR6\AR6.msi /QB ECHO. i want to change this to instead install acroreader 601 then patch it with 602 and lastly 603 and then move on to the next command again any help would be great thanks neowin members -ste please feel free to get me on the im'er or email me otherwise just respond in messageboards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erp Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 This is really the wrong forum. There is a Designing and Programming thread to help with coding, and a XP Support thread where they can help you build your disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erp Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I suggest you PM a mod instead of double posting :), but they notice things like this pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan V Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 /QN, /QB & /S are switches that allow the set-up to run in silently.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted December 16, 2004 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 16, 2004 The site I'm going to suggest has been blocked by neowins spam filter so I will instead link you to this google search and tell you to look at the first link. There is also a link to a forum which will tell you much more than you ever thought of asking about unattended installations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
