| 744511 | 2009-02-03 06:53:00 | Dear all, I am bundling a number of anti-malware installation programs onto a flash drive. Is there a way I can create an executional program which automatically runs and installs each of the programs included? Obviously, it should also be able to click "Next" or "I accept" on its own. Cheers :) |

| 744514 | 2009-02-03 07:13:00 | All depends on whether the installers can accept "silent install" parameters, so you'll need to consult each of the software maker's documentation. Then you could write a batch script launching the installers with the appropriate parameters. |

| 744516 | 2009-02-03 07:52:00 | Got just the program - only found it in the weekend - Still playing with it, but some of the programs dont allow silent install, but hows this - Spybot, Malwarebytes, Spyware terminator, Ccleaner, Izarc ( Zip program) in about 2 minutes.( TOTAL) The program is called InstallPad ( The default apps can be removed and you add in what ever ones you want. Heres the first one I did as a trial (http://www.imagef1.net.nz/files/First_one.jpg" target="_blank">installpad.com/) - by default it downloads the latest versions from the internet, BUT you can change it to load from a CD (like I did) look at the Link on the bottom saying Adding new applications. The default apps can be removed and you add in what ever ones you want. Heres the first one I did as a trial (http:) You need to type in the EXACT name of the exe file other wise it wont work. Heres what I did to get it to run from CD - made a Folder called it Installs, there I dumped all the exe files for the programs , then on install pad, in the path to files, added in what it was, for Ccleaner it was file:///D:/Installs/ccsetup216.exe Then when burning the CD, added Installpad at the root of the CD, with the install folder second CD Layout (www.imagef1.net.nz) - I spose you could also make an autorun if you wanted for installpad. Downside to making it on CD is the optical drive HAS to be what ever you put in the location file, usually D. some programs will silent install others wont - while installing the programs, Ccleaner needed next , next etc, BUT Malwarebytes and spybot were doing their thing silently in the background - when ccleaner finished the other two had finished installing already. and it FREE :banana |

| 744519 | 2009-02-03 08:12:00 | Find the silent switches of each installer, then run a batch file :D | jwil1 (65) | ||

Blam Thats about what I'm doing :lol: All the program does is run the exe file for the appropriate application,in one handy place instead of 1 at a time. Cant see why any program would cause a bother ( famous last words), but no doubt something will. Main thing is to get the path/Name correct from the actual exe. Only found it the other day , so still playing around with it, but I can see it saving a sh1t load of time. |
