Whenever I encounter installers like this or even when I would rather not deal with installers in particular situations, I use UniExtract to extract the application files from the installer (works pretty good for many different types and versions of installers). This saves you from having to install them just to obtain the necessary files. Also, the tool seems to extract installer scripts and such too. You can look at those to see what other changes it makes to the system (registry, etc) and then make those appropriate changes manually when creating the batch/cmd files to do the installation. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
