.bat files

Expand Post »
Hey guys,

Could someone show me how to write a batch file to install software? I just need something very basic that, when run, will auto install the software.

I know it isn't that hard, but I don't know how.
thanks!

Re: .bat files

Why not post this in the programmers forum? I know you know this as you've been around the site for awhile.

Re: .bat files

installing windows software with a .bat? you would need to find the actual setup switches to make it a silent install, and those are product specific

Re: .bat files

Why not you use Autorun.inf (Setup Information) it will Auto Execute the Setup.exe.

Re: .bat files

I have a .ini file setup that does a complete installation with no user intervention. I need a way to run the link through a script though.

Re: .bat files

Also you can link .bat (MS-DOS Batch Script) through Autorun.inf File.
