Matlab - warning about VC++ 2005 Redistributable installation
</packages>
</source>
 
Beware that, for versions older than R2012a, fully silent installations require "the appropriate version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2005" (see http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-FF5DCH/?product=ML&solution=1-FF5DCH for the details). If that version is missing, the installer tries its own <tt>vcredist_{x86,x64}.exe</tt> and waits endlessly for an EULA acceptance.
 
Is is prudent, then, to run <tt>vcredist_{x86,x64}.exe</tt> in silent mode before executing Matlab's <tt>setup.exe</tt>:
 
<pre>
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\matlab2011b\bin\win32\vcredist_x86.exe /q:a'/>
</pre>
(for the x86 version of R2011b)
==Autoit code. Compile this into an exe==
