Silent Install using command switches in a batch command

Re: Silent Install using command switches in a batch command

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.

Re: Silent Install using command switches in a batch command

Hi everybody, I'm trying to install a few codecs silently but with no luck... I tried using <Silent> and --silent but for these codecs: Arrange Audio, Audio Info, Channel Split, Id Tag Update,MonkeysAudio and WavPack it doesn't work and the setup runs in standard mode... can you help me? Is it possible to silently install those codecs? Thanks!

These old installs do not support it, sorry.

Absolutely no problem, Spoon! I was only curious to find out if (and in what) I was making any mistake. Thank you VERY much for your amazing work, you're GREAT!! ^_^

Re: Silent Install using command switches in a batch command

I am trying to do something similar, but it doesn't seem to work. I think I have correctly escaped the <> characters. But I can't even do this from a CMD prompt.

FOR %i IN (*.exe) DO "%i" ^<Silent^>

or even this from the command line:

"dMC-R15.3-Ref-Registered.exe" ^<Silent^>

It really doesn't like the <> characters. In future builds, could you incorporate normal options like /s?

The new installers accept --silent
