How can i make Inno setup install another exe file in passive mode?

[JamieWarren09]

Hi Guy's

is there away i can make my setup install VLC's setup file without the user having to install it seperatly, but also so that it;s not branded as VLC?

Like have it install automatically sliently or in passive mode.

As my program uses some of VLC's active X plugins. That dont work unless the user has VLC installed.

Please can someone let me know?!

Thanks!

VLC is open source so you can edit it, but I'm not sure if you are allowed to 'debrand' it and distribute it as your own.

Regarding silent installation, try passing the /s, /silent, /q or /quite parameter to the installer, some support that.

Filename: "msiexec.exe"; Parameters: "/q ""{app}\vlc.exe"" /quiet"

Hi Baja,

Would the above be the correct code?

Thank's

Not sure. Where is that line from, Inno script? I'm not familiar with Inno.

You just need one parameter of those I mentioned, but I'm not sure which, if any will work. You can try it manually first, download an installer and execute it (Start > Run) with a parameter and see if it installs silently.

It dont seem to be working like installing anything with inno,

I think its something to do with the fact the vlc.exe setup file has to be run as a administrator?

Any idea how i can make inno run it as admin.

I know you are not familiar with inno's source code's but you may have some idea?

Cheers!

In the [Setup] section of the inno script type this:-

PrivilegesRequired=Admin

It still doesent seem to be attempting to install it :(

Do you have any other ideas on how can make it quietly install VLC?

Thanks
