    Using AutoIt for silent install

    in Addon Discussion

    Posted

    That gets me confused again and again, guys!

    At different forums I see that people recommend AutoIt to make the unattended install of addons silent. But now I can see that you recommend to use the silent switches. So, why do I need AutoIt then?!? E.g., I want to make some changes in pre-install windows of Winamp (like disable Winamp Library and visualizations) - before they all are installed on my computer. When I make it through SVCPACK method with a simple silent switch, it installs with all these features installed - this is what I don't want to happen. Now, when I heard about the capabilities of AutoIt I was quite happy to use it. I even wrote a script which makes the whole process of install quite seamless. But when it comes to switches, I really get confused - 'coz some say AutoIt allows for switchless install and some say - one still needs to use switches for different installers.

    Which one 's true, for God's sake!

    How to add these into nLite.

    Yes, that's the silent switch (command which doesn't allow the visibility of the program installation).
