command line - Silent installation of codecs -
background: i've been using k-lite codec pack installing video , audio codecs required playing media files in windows via silent/unattended installation works fine.
i interested in figuring out how silent installs of k-lite behave when previous installs of k-lite exist. case silent/unattended installs of new versions can reliably run on top of old ones? possible silent un-install well?
alternatively kind of command line tool exist (g-spot?) can detect presence of codecs have been installed, or if there way of doing programmatically in c++?
i keen hear experience of this.
ok. have figured out.
- after having first created silent install via
k-lite-codec_pack-xyz.exe -makeunattended
... , running batch file gets created ... that's there it!
newer versions of k-lite can comfortably installed on top of old ones, though care should taken in upgrading old k-lite version. more information point, see relevant section of faq.
it's possible run silent un-install first. removing k-lite via control panel, can run uninstall executable, described here.
