I need to install external MSI files during my installation. I use the following parameters to achieve a silent install:
Run Window Installer %_SB_INSTALLDIR%/SomeOther.MSI /i /quiet
This works fine on my XP machine.
But when I run my setup on Windows 2000 (which has an older Windows Installer), I get an error. On this setup I have to use
Run Windows Installer %_SB_INSTALLDIR%/SomeOther.MSI /q
So I wonder if it is possible to detect which version of Windows Installer is available, or if SetupBuilder could have a Checkbox for Quiet install and figure this out automatically.
Run Window Installer %_SB_INSTALLDIR%/SomeOther.MSI /i /quiet
