Unattended Install

Hello everybody,

Is there a way to silently install latest version of windows live
messenger? messenger.live.com lets me download WLinstaller.exe which
is a downloader for other applications. microsoft.com lets me download
8.1 version. I cannot find switches anywhere.

Re: Unattended Install

Hello

If you can find a *.msi then you could use the /qb! switch.

Or if you have a package program like wise package studio, you can make the
MSI yourself and then apply it, where you need with the /qb!

q = quiet
b= backgruond
!= no cancel button

Cheers
Steffen

Is the MSI file for all versions of windows? I found out that msi is
on the computer once you install messenger through the downloader.
