new to batch scripting help

Need general guidance on getting started with scripting. It's easier for me to see it first rather then reading a book



This is what I have thus far

What is your question?

[gomboc]

the script I created launches the setup.exe but the users still have to keep clicking on the next buttons etc.. how do I make this to be a complete install where users do not have to click on any buttons after the initial wizard opens.

If the setup program does not have any silent install options you would have to script the mouse clicks or keyboard keys with a program like AutoHotkey or AutoIt.
That is out of the scope of this forum. I believe they both have their own support forum.
