hi, I am trying to create a .bat file where (among other things) Python will have to be silently installed. It needs to be installed to the non-default location "c:\program files\python27". Any idea how this can be done? I keep getting the 'Help' menu, indicating that something went wrong. I've been fighting with this for like an hour now! :-(
I followed this structure [1]: msiexec /i (yourFile).msi TARGETDIR=C:\YourBin\YourApp The following does NOT work (I added the cd/md commands later, idem for the /qb) y:\>set PYTHONDIR="c:\program files\python27" y:\>cd /d "c:\program files" y:\>md python27 y:\>cd /d %temp% y:\>msiexec /i python-2.7.3 TARGETDIR="%PYTHONDIR%" /qb Thank you!
