Just for the archives. MSI files always come with a silent installation (if the one who created the package did not hard-code any dialog boxes). All MSI packages are installed using 'msiexec'. If you double-click on an MSI file then just msiexec is invoked. Use 'msiexec /?' to see a list of parameters. Usually MSI silent-installations all look the same: msiexec /i <msifile.msi> /qn /norestart So you can easily add it to a batch file. I am almost always using the same 'framework': @echo off set INSTALLER_LOC=%~dp0 set MSIFILE=<put-msi-name-here.msi> echo Installing <Softwarename> start /wait "PkgInstall" msiexec /i "%INSTLALLER_LOC%%MSIFILE%" /qn This works perfectly if the batch file is stored to the same directory where the MSI file is located. Additionally no hard-coded full paths are required as the installer location is determined at run-time. br, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you use WPKG?
