[the_master]

Hi,
Does any one, know how to make a silent installation of VRay, (VRayForRhino_01.01.57)(it is a .exe file) ?
I have tried a couple of things but it doesn't works..


and at doesn't matter if it is a .bat or .vbs script


thanks

EDIT:

I have been working with this script, which took me about 2 minutes to make, but i am not sure if it's working ...

@echo off
COLOR F0
title=VRay for Rhino Installation
echo.
echo Installing VRayForRhino 01.01.57 ...
echo.
start \\server-xxx\VRayForRhino_01.01.57.exe /s

The PStools of Microsoft support a function, that copy files to other engines and start it there.

I was under the impression that any installshield installers could be run silently by a command-line flag. But I had little luck using it myself. I guess we will need to make an MSI version of our installer, or figure out why the silent flag is being ignored.

I agree , becuase that program PStools , is not working to make a silent install, it just allow you to "make a image" and start it in another computer..

BUT when you have a .msi version, you can just put the parameters /S or (maybe) /Q=quit after the installation line ...
