Question

I am having 3 files –

1. Alky for Applications.msi ( which make Vista Apps work on XP)
2. Windows VIsta sidebar.exe ( Which make that VIsta sidebar work on XP)
   3.Gadget Extractor.msi ( A part of number 2)

I just want to have all the setups installed by just instlaling one. One of my freind told me that the MSI packages may be silently installed using /qb switch
the .exe I got there is NSIS setup which may be silently installed using /S switch.

SO I am a total n00b in software developing ,so pls suggest me what to do

Answer 1

The simplest solution is to create a batch file and put these commands in it to launch the installers:

msiexec /i "C:\Users\ZippyV\Desktop\Alky for Applications.msi" /quiet
"C:\Users\ZippyV\Desktop\Windows VIsta sidebar.exe" /s
msiexec /i "C:\Users\ZippyV\Desktop\Gadget Extractor.msi" /quiet

Change the extension of the batch file to .cmd and put all the files in the same directory.

EDIT: make sure to specify the full path to your installers and use quotes around them. To run the file, just click it.
