Hello,

how can I make a Setup with Visual Studio 2005/2008 Pro which has the
ability of a silent installation?

Something like setup.exe /qn should be possible.
For the msi file this is allready possible.

Where can I get a description?

Thanks a lot,
Andreas

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your replay. In the two links you can find a description of how
to install VS silent. But I want to build my own setup.exe with the ability
of a silent installation. To install VS silent is not the problem.
If I build my setup.exe with VS 2005 Prof. I cannot open the commandline and
type setup.exe /qn
The parameter "/qn" will not pass to my msi file.

Best regards,
Andreas
