I'm making a custom XP install ISO and would like to know if there are any silent install switches for the Matroska pack.

Hi!

Besides the normal /S command line switch which every NSIS installer normally supports there are no special switches implemented.
The /S option just installs all components just like if you run the installer and don't change anything.

I saw that you are also asking this question regarding other software.
The ffshow and XviD installers are NSIS, so you can use the /S switch there too :)

XviD beta 3 from Koepi doesn't seem to use that installer. Tried it with ffdshow too an no joy but it seems to work with Matroska pack.

Ffdshow (and I) still use NSIS 1.9x - maybe it's only working for 2.x versions of NSIS.

I tried it and I think they are NSIS installers, but they don't work entirely.
Because in the XviD installer, at the end a MessageBox pops up.
And in ffdshow the language selection comes up first.
In both cases the installation doesn't exit automatically :o
That's a problem and I don't know a solution for it, sorry..

Could it be because ffdshow is compressed and scrambled with UPX? I really don't understand developers need to scramble an exe installer for a freeware too in UPX. Looking for a UPX 1.23 descrambler in order to test if that is causing the problem. No luck thus far.

UPX is a compressor in first place, not meant to be a scrambler.You use other tools to scramble binaries.

Yes but UPX has a scrambler option. He used that option when he used UPX 1.23 on it for some reason. You cannot decompress it afterwards.
