Batch Files for application Installation!!!!!!

[800XL]

Most Microsoft applications allow you to specify a batch install file in the command line for setup.exe that would do what you want. The problem is that these batch inf files are not at all easy to comprehend. I'm sure a search of the knowledgebase at Microsoft would bring up a a wealth of information on this subject. "unattended application installation, "msbatch.inf", and "batch install" would all be good keywords to search on. There is a lot to this, and so its not easy to cover very well here, not to mention I've not done anything like this in quite a while. I'll see if I can dig up some good links to information on this subject in the meantime.

Sorry about the misunderstanding on the last message. Okay here goes.

I'm looking for an utility to help me Install applications automatically without user intervertion. I don't want to install an SMS server or any other kind of server if I don't have to. I would like to create some kind of batch files, just like we used to create DOS Batch files, but This one is for Windows.

For example:
You want to install Word 6.0 on an NT 4.0 machine. We Usually click on the Setup.exe and click okay/next or type the directory where we want to install the application, and follow the direction During the Setup process. However I Would like to evoid this. I would like to create a batch file that would launch the Setup.exe file, Automatically click on okay/next, or type a path when the setup process ask.

In other words just like an unattend installation of NT however this one is for Applications only.

Please let me know if you would like me to explain futher.

Please your help will be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Riverbr
