batch install Multiple programs
Hi,
I'm new to writing batch files and wondered if anyone could help, I have written a batch to run multiple installs but don't know how to configure it so it will it make preference changes etc.

Re: batch install Multiple programs
sry, I have multiple pc's to install and have a lot of software and installs to put on them. I would like to have a batch that would install these unattended and configure all the preferences as well.
Re: batch install Multiple programs
Shall we guess the names of the programs, where they are going, and which preferences you want to change? 
But TBH there are few programs that allow you to configure the operational options until after it is installed, and that would then require a GUI automation tool, like AutoIt.
In some case you can write a pre-configured configuration file where the program usually keeps it, or write the options to the registry in the right format - but how could we even start to assist you without knowing the exact programs and what changes you want to make.
If I have the wrong end of the stick and have misunderstood, then you can blame yourself for not providing enough information.
foxi, trying to help but you don't make it easy...
