Hi Kim, Monty

I thought unattended installer just meant that it didn't ask the user for input once they'd double-clicked dqsd-setup.exe

That's the sort of thing that I meant, Kim. Sorry for any confusion there Monty.

If it's just a silent installer I don't quite see the point,
or is there some nice benefit I'm missing, Dave?

It's simply because I'm working toward a system that can install the whole 
Windows OS plus applications automatically, without user intervention. (I'm 
using http://unattended.sourceforge.net) Since DQSD is a top productivity tool 
for me, I was looking into using AutoIt scripts to automate the install, when I 
thought I should at least have a look at the NSIS script.

There should be no difference to the install process unless the installer is 
run with a particular command line switch - for NSIS, usually /S. If the switch 
is present, then the application installs itself automatically, and without 
requiring user intervention, according to some installation configuration 
(default, pre-defined, supplied on the command line, etc.).

If there's only me doing this sort of thing with DQSD then I might be better 
off just using AutoIt, but I thought I'd ask and see if there's any interest. 
All comments welcome.


Dave.
