run dmc setup passing:

<Silent>

on the command line.

Thanks, Spoon, but I tried it and it didn't work, here's an example of a batch command I use for Nero Burning Rom, using a similar technique:

ECHO Installing Nero Ultra Burning ROM v6.0.0.23
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Nero\Nero60023.exe /silent /noreboot
ECHO.
ECHO Registering Nero Ultra Burning ROM...
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Nero\Register.reg
ECHO.
EXIT, I even tried that particular command structure, and even THAT didn't work with dB10....... now, I'm lost...lol

[Spoon]

make sure you have the right case:

<Silent>

it should work, Sveta installs dMC this way.

Well, Spoon, it doesn't...so I'm completely lost....... I have no Idea:yawn:


This is what I've inputed to try out:

Start - Run - c:\db10Gold.exe /s
Start - Run - c:\db10Gold.exe <Silent>
Start - Run - c:\db10Gold.exe /S
Start - Run - c:\db10Gold.exe -u -s

they're no good, I still get the Install popup as orignal

[Spoon]

Try:

Start - Run - "c:\db10Gold.exe" <Silent>

If will offer to uninstall the old version, I have fixed this for the final r10 release.

THANKS ALOT SPOON! :D :D I just wanted to know if there's any way to exclude the final window? Does this switch work with File Selector and Powerpack?


THANKS,
STEVE :D

Thanks for that switch. BTW if you want the last screen to disappear when its finish installing just use the taskkill.exe to stop it. Like this, "taskkill.exe /F /IM musicconverter.exe". That worked for me, so I'm guessing you may have some success with it also.

[Spoon]

Those two are using the old installer so not until they are updated.

Is there anyway to make this work thru a DOS batch file?

It works fine in WinXP, using Start->Run.
But if I try to do it thru a dos batch file it doesn't work.

IE)
start /wait %cdrom%\other\$more\dbamp\setup.exe <Silent>
start /wait "%cdrom%\other\$more\dbamp\setup.exe" <Silent>
%cdrom%\other\$more\dbamp\setup.exe <Silent>
"%cdrom%\other\$more\dbamp\setup.exe" <Silent>
etc

never works. I either get spit out of the dos command window, or i get
The syntax of the command is incorrect and it pauses my installation in

even just going to my DVDRom drive and into the folder and typing
setup.exe <Silent>
i get invalid syntax.


Like I said, it works fine using Start->Run. But I dont want that.
I want it to be able to install via COMMAND window.
I have an unattended install DVD, I'd like dbpoweramp to be installed automatically. I utilize BATCH file commands to install all the programs.
This one does not work. Any ideas?

to run silent use /s

[koden]

I'm using this:

@echo off
ECHO.
ECHO Installing dbpoweramp
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\dMC-r10.exe /s
ECHO.

it's still gives me install screen

I have tryed this:
start /wait %systemdrive%\dMC-r10.exe <silent>
then nothing happens...

what am I doing wrong??

[Spoon]

Try:

start /wait "%systemdrive%\dMC-r10.exe" <silent>

wrote my own installer for this, including a codec pack for all codecs

[Razzor]

Place "<Silent>" switch in batch file as below:
Add taskkill to make it completely silent:

Echo Installing dBpowerAMP and Codecs...

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\dBpowerAMP.exe "<Silent>"
taskkill /F /IM musicconverter.exe

Echo Done!

"<Silent>" works for codecs as well, but taskkill is not necessary for these.
