using silent setup with Microsoft Custom Installation Wizard

[Alan Truism]

I created a custom installation MST script to deploy Outlook 2003
within my company.

So far I've been using executing it manually having users click on a
batch file but I'd like to deploy it through the login script. I want
to do a silent setup, or at the very least disable the cancel option to

keep users from stopping the installation.


The command line I'm using to execute the install goes like this:


setup.exe TRANSFORMS=\\SERVER\OUTLOOK2003\OUTLOOK-INSTALL.MST /qb-


Can I modify the switch at the end in order to prevent users from
cancelling the script?

Try dropping the "b-" from /qb-

Thanks.One would think that the setup.htm file would spell that out a
bit more clearly for retards such as myself.

It's documented clearly along with the other command-line options at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011513651033.aspx

That looks identical to the setup.htm file. Where is that document does
it say anything about what happens when you use "/q" with no option
set?

Am I blind?

You might want to get your glasses checked <g>:

/q[options]

<snip>

n Display no user interface; equivalent to specifying /q with no options (none).
