In testing my install in silent mode the only thing noticeable is a copy progress bar when I call XCopyFile in OnFirstUIAfter. The reason I'm doing this is because the file i'm copying over isn't part of the install itself but rather if it's available I want to copy it over. I've tried playing with Enable(INDFILESTATUS) in an attempt to not show this dialog during silent installs but no luck.
Please tell me how can i install an exe file in silent mode..?
Also I want to associate its process to my progressbar...
I have Idea like there should be a way through which I can associate a process handle of currently running process... but still m not getting any type of success...
keep in mind that if you were to launch this from cmd line on its own - it will come right back to the prompt - put it in a batch file and it will do its thing.

I do not think you need to do /v" for each property but this works for me.
