Repackaging (silent command

The surest way to deploy an application with the least amount of issues is to use the setup routine designed for the application in the first place.

Repackaging is necessary when a using a deployment tool that requires it, or when a command line installation is not supported. Often poorly documented, or not at all, you may find it difficult to discover how to go about this.

You may also be surprised at the number of ways that exist to silently install an application from the command line when you know where to look and what to try. By "from the command line" we are talking about the use of command line switches to initiate the unattended installation of software such as "SETUP.EXE /SILENT".

There are a number of steps you can take in your attempt to uncover a means of command line installation and we will cover them all here.

The goal of this document is to collect instructions for performing unattended/silent installations of many popular Windows applications. Such instructions are useful for automating these installations.

A complete listing of all URLS is available if you are having trouble locating a URL.

About these Bookmarks

These bookmarks are of subjects or products I find useful (or think I may in the future). I never link to a site as a pre-condition for them linking to me! As I use Windows I am mainly interested in software for this operating system. Where good free software exists I generally only list the free software (I list some shareware and even some commercial software where it is exceptional).

If you have some completely free software (no adware and without timeouts or major restrictions) which you would like listed then please email me:

  1. The URL (direct to resource's page) - not to the download.
  2. A proposed category (existing one if possible)
  3. A short description
To bypass my SPAM filter the subject should begin "SUGGESTED LINK:".

Creating These Book Mark Pages

This page was automatically created from Windows internet shortcuts (or favorites) created with IE or Netscape (OS/2 WPS URLs can also be imported). You can comment any link or category and just about anything can be changed (links don't even need to be in tables). PPWIZARD, a free tool for Windows, Mac OS X, Unix or OS/2 built these pages using this source code .

All URLs are checked periodically using the my free URL validation tool (for Windows and OS/2). This ensures that very few if any links point to moved pages or return 404 errors etc.
