Batch script for unattended install of a software

Question

I've got a few programs i need to install every time i reinstall a computer

• office 2003 Pro
• office 2007 compatibility pack
• Adobe acrobat
• Adobe flash

but i hate to do this every time on every computer ive already made a batch script when i boot xp the first time after reinstall like

@echo off
"I:\installs\adobe reader\setup.exe"
pause
"I:\installs\office 2003\setup.exe"
pause
"I:\installs\office compatibilitiy\setup.exe"

but it doesnt install automatically, is that possible?

Solution 1

You should google "silent install name_of_software" or "unattended name_of_software"

or looking directly there:

There is a very good article here on the subject: script

How about interactive input like dreaded serial numbers etc? That breaks the automation via batch files only. Something like AutoIt could probably be used instead.
