    BATCH files silent install or unassisted install?
    Hello, :confused:
    I have many application's that I install at my place of employment. These applications have been packaged into a .exe, I currently install these apps VIA Batch files as there are many prerequisites required to install before installing the application itself i.e.. Oracle 9 etc.

    The problem comes into play when the software opens to install, I need to be there to hit the 'Next Button' and 'OK' buttons, I would like this software to install itself completely without user interaction. I guess like a silent install or unassisted install.

    Is this possible

    Purchase a license to a utility that does installs or allows you to deploy applications over a network. Do a websearch for Install utilities

    Hi Scott,
    I work for the GOVY and we have these tools already in place, this is more of an issue for our remote locations where we do software/hardware deployments off site.
    This software is all located on External HD as we have no access to the Internal LAN from these locations.
    Our policy states that we have to install all software prereqs separate of the of the applications, I am not sure why but maybe a licensing issue or just to be sure that the software is installed clean.
    Because these software installs are lengthly and we usually have more than one machine to setup per site this, installing by using scripts is much more convenient and efficient.

    Is it possible to do this with a .BAT or .VBS script?

    Not a BAT, but possibly a VBS.
