Application silent install switches

Silent install switches for applications can be rather difficult to locate, perhaps having them here may save a headache for another tech…

For the Adobe packages, one must download the full standalone installers.  The same goes for Windows Live Essentials, which may or may not have the latest version of the Movie Maker software included.

• Adobe Flash:  install_flash_player_ax.exe /S


• Adobe Reader:  /sPB /rs /msi /qb /norestart EULA_ACCEPT=YES


• Windows Live Essentials: wlsetup-all.exe /silent


• Windows Security Essentials (x64 or x86):  mssefullinstall-x86fre-en-us-vista.exe /s /runwgacheck


• Adobe Reader 9.2 (MSI):  msiexec /i AcroRead.msi ALLUSERS=TRUE TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst /quiet


• Pidgin: pidgin-2.6.4.exe /DS=0 /SMS=1 /S (Make sure to get the full offline installer, this won't work without the GTK piece)


• 7-Zip 32-bit:  msiexec /i 7z465.msi /qn


• 7-Zip 64-bit:  msiexec /i 7z465-x64.msi /qn


• Mozilla Firefox:  Firefox Setup 3.5.5.exe -ms
