Info about creating automatic and silent installs

jpk216 · 27th November 2006, 11:49

I am new to NSIS and hope someone could help me out in letting me know if it has certain capabilities. I need to install several software programs to a machine, some with active dialogs during the install and I want to make them fully automatic and silent.

So my question is, I saw that NSIS can make installs silent, but is there a way to enter the information that I need into the textboxes on the program that is executing an install. And if so, what would be some of the function commands on doing this so I can read up on it some more.

Thanks for the help

It depends on the other installers. Unattended has a great page explaining how to make pretty much every installer silent.
