Hi Bernhard,

to install silent use the '/s' switch. You get (most) command line
options by typing:

thanks for the hint.  Unfortunately '/s' doesn't work, but '/S' does ;-).

WinCootinstaller.exe /?

(or /help instead of ?). Although I think the silent option may be
missing there. I guess I have to revisit this part of the installer...

Right. I tried this before sending out the mail. The silent option is missing in the option list:

---------------------------
WinCoot 0.6.2 Setup
---------------------------
WinCoot Installer Command Line Help

Options:
/D=instdir         - defines installation directory to instdir
/instdir=instdir   - as above (preferred!!! needs to be first)
/startdir=statdir - defines dir where Coot will start (after install/update)
/update            - update WinCoot (no questions asked, requires /D)
/autoupdate        - as /update but removes installer and starts WinCoot
/del_inst          - removes the installer after installation
/run               - run WinCoot after installation
/help | /?         - this information
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


Follow-up questions:

  * Is there also a silent option for the uninstaller?
  * Is there a way to define the start menu entry (and other
    options like "Windowsy feeling" etc.) and avoid desktop and
    taskbar links when running a silent installation?

What I also noticed: WinCoot is not in the list of the Application Wizard (appwiz.cpl) and therefore cannot be uninstalled from there.


Cheers

    frank
