==Preparation==
The provided installer is not able to install silent. However, it is possible to unpack the installer, make all changes that are needed and repack it as silent installer. Because the installer is digitally signed, you need a special version of sfxhead.sfx to repack it.

0. Install TotalCommander locally
1. Get the installer SFX EXE: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/addons/sfxhead_installer.zip
2. Unpack new sfxhead.sfx file to TC dir (rename the existing sfxhead.sfx to sfxhead.sfx.org)
3. Download the installer tcmd756a.exe
3. Unpack the installer to a new directory (press STRG+Page Down)
4. Modify '''install.inf''' and add your files (i.e. '''wincmd.key''' for license and '''windcmd.ini''' for more settings) see [http://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/How_to_make_installation_fully_automatic%3F Wiki] and [http://www.ghisler.ch/board/index.php?language=english Forum]
5. Create new ZIP with option "self-extracting", name it tcmdr7546a_auto.exe
6. don't forget to rename to old sfxhead.sfx

==install.inf==
Edit the provided install.inf as you need it. In the foll wing, i only show the lines that I changed, do not copy and save this as install.inf
