[Windows XP x64] Unattended installation Virtualbox 3.0

Hi,


I'm working on an unattended installation which includes Virtualbox 3.0. But I can't find the right switches to do this.

This is how it looks:

Code: Select all

REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "Virtualbox" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\VirtualBox-3.0.2-49928-Win.exe /qn" /f
This method doesn't work. The installation process does start, but it isn't silent. And my PC does prompt me to click 'Next' and all that. I found a part of the solution here but it doesn't change anything. Does anybody have a clue how to make this work? I can't find anything on Google. You guys are my last hope.

Use tools such as filemon and regmon, it will tell you whats installed where including the registry, after that you can build your own distribution.

I'm not quite willing to put that much effort in it ;)

If someone knows a silent install switch then I'll be pleased to hear from that somebody!

I find it hard to believe that no one on this forum has ever made an unattended installation of Virtualbox, if it's not 3.0 then that doesn't matter. Any hint is helpful! :wink:

No that doesn't work, it's not unattended and not quiet :(
