Please post your silent installers (and possibly deinstallers) here as new pages - and link them to this category. (Click here for help)

Below you can see a list of silent installers - if you have your own, please share it with us (of course it is always nice to have silent uninstallers, too).

Silent installers for Windows Hotfixes (KB*) are listed here.

You can also change Windows settings with WPKG.

For silent installers not listed here, see AppDeploy.com or the Unattended project (but please remember to come back here and write up a packages.xml entry after you do so). A WPKG user's list of packages is also available.

Please use Windows environment variables (e.g. %PROGRAMFILES%) in your commands rather than absolute paths (e.g. C:\Program Files or C:\Programme) because they work independently of the spoken language version of Windows and of the particular location on a system which can vary. For a list of available environment variables see Wikipedia or the more complete list at analogduck.
Similarly, please also use %PACKAGES% to specify the WPKG package installation directory on the server. This environment variable is defined in wpkg-start.bat (which recommends %PACKAGES% but wrongly makes an example using %SOFTWARE).
