Answer to Question #24532 in C++ for John Lori

Question

Hello,

My question is about unattended installations of (Setup) installer applications. I have a software application that does not have the traditional installer base such as (NSIS, InstallShield) etc. But is custom coded. There are no public supported switches for the installer itself, and string testing has failed.

I need to install this software and deploy it over a number of computers connected to my network at my business. I do not wish to use a scripting language to simulate key_events to the GUI. Instead I would like to hook the process application, or injecting into the process that all settings are good for go, and begin installation of the application without the need for clicking (Next->Next->Install)

Can this be done?
