    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

    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

    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.

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

    Re: Silent Install using command switches in a batch command

    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?

    Re: Silent Install using command switches in a batch command

    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??
