Hi,<br />
<br />
I have an .msi file (i) and am trying to create a silent install package(ii) from it.<br />
<br />
So basically run the (i) msi install and have it output the results to a new .msi (ii) &nbsp;saving the options selected in the original install.<br />
Has anyone completed this successfully and if so could you please confirm the switches used?<br />
<br />
Many thanks.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
