Hi i am doing an IT education in holland, and at my job i must install several programms automaticly without interferrence of a person.

at my job i must install a software package, with programs like java,OPENOFFICE,nero etc.

I am running Vista and for all i know it doesnt matter if u use a batchfile from XP in Vista.
Prefferably a XP version if there is a diffrence.

I have spent 2 weeks on this and all i came up with was this:

COLOR a0
@echo off
start /wait java1.exe
exit


REM /Q:a


Ok it starts? REM is useless, exit and wait........ i start this batchfile and i have to click accept, so mission failed.

pretty pathetic this in 2 weeks dont you THINK?Do a google search for unattended installs...lots of info out there.I have taken that option into consideration but my boss does not allow such an install, that is a last resort.

I need to learn how to program a batchfile, or make a file that i have to click on and it will do everything i want it to do.You can use the Microsoft installer to do silent installs. Check out msiexec /? run at the command prompt for details or check this article for a silent install of OpenOffice.
