Silent install to another directory? by RaveRod on 08-09-2004 at 03:45 PM
Heya guys.
I know about the /silentinstallnosponsor command line argument but is there one to install it into another directory?
I like to install my Messenger Plus! into the C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\Plus! directory to help keep things neat.
Is there anyway to do this without user interaction?

I know that but I want to do it silently (without user interaction).

Well, you cant direct6ly. However, if you add the MsgPlus key in HKLM before you launch the setup, it will trick the installer to think it is currently updating an older version and it will use the old path written in the registry. You can put whatever you want there, theres almost no differene between an update and a fresh install.
