Someone will answer your question directly, no doubt.

For anyone who would like to do this but is intimidated by the "normal" methods, look here:

If you don't mind installing NET 2, you can easily do it all from the nLite GUI. (Free). If you don't have any version of NET on your computer, there are runtimes that will allow you to use nLite without getting NET 2.

Good luck.

[EDIT] Don't let the Linux references put you off, the process outlined will work on your Windows machine.

Nice, you could also ad the command "sleep" to set some time betwen installations and or information... also before the exit it would be nive to add

eho.
echo Installation Successfully Completed!
sleep 5
exit

That will give you info about the end of the installation, will wait 5 seconds and will exit the current work... Of course you have to add the sleep.exe to your system32 folder in order to make it work or you won't see the 5 seconds before exiting the window

Hope this help

I need a program to extract contents of GHS file also how could i Make The installation so no user interaction was required Eg clciking next

Go to the unattended web page I posted before so you can learn about runonce command, scripts and unattended installations... My Windows XP installs itself + antispyware prog I use, Office, and some other things too.

All programs can not be installed using the same command cos' they are different type of compilations, so you need to know which one use in every prog. Visit that page and spend some time there, it's very good place to start. Members add their own progs for free to help others work easily...

Hope this help
