Silent install

Post by Machinerto »

I want to make a self extracting .exe (for personal use) that contains the the installers for Synthfont, Viena, and MIDISoundsynth. It would extract all three executables and a batch file to a folder in the root of the C:\ drive. The batch file would silently install the programs one by one, starting a new one after the previous one is finished. Anything regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

Well, you need silent installation. This can easily be accomplished. This is cut form INNO Setup's help file:
The Setup program accepts optional command line parameters.

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT
Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed.
Give it a try
