Yeah well, apparently a simple /s sufficed. I tried that before of course, but probably in combination with something else, which made the silent install fail. Thank you all for your input, I learn more and more about Burn everyday. :) -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-

Very hard to tell. It very much depends on how the executable works. Burn just launches the executable and passes the appropriate command-line (InstallCommand for install and UninstallCommand for uninstall and RepairCommand for repair). On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 12:18 AM, Miss Parker wrote: > Alrig

Alright, I tried a different install command according to an example I found in the forum: It didn't work for me unfortunately. I'm very sorry if I seem a bit slow here, but I don't understand exactly what input InstallCommand needs. I also tried to input the complete "msiexec /qn /i" command

The log file should show you the command being passed to the executable. Maybe try that exact command outside of Burn? On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 8:57 AM, Miss Parker wrote: > Alright, I tried that (/msiexec /qn /i exePath/) and it worked. That can't > be > good... > > Can you (or anyone else) see a

The exe is a patch and is supposed to support silent install, but maybe it doesn't. Do you happen to know any "official" exe's that supports silent install, that I can download and test with? This has bugging me for days, and it would be nice to find out if I'm doing something wrong or if the file

Hello, I'm trying to get Burn to silently install an exe, but I can't get it to work. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I've also tried /s, /qn and /silent, but no luck. The installation starts, but so does the the GUI unfortunately. Any help is appreciated. //Caisa -- View this messag
