Unattended Installations
As of 0.73, unattended installations are possible. Simply do the following:
gaim-1.5.0.exe /L=1033 /S /D=C:\Gaim
Make sure to leave the /D flag for last. The /L flag sets the language (Windows LCID) used by the uninstaller, as well as Gaim itself. You may omit both the /L and /D flags and use the defaults which are 1033 (English) and C:\Program Files\Gaim respectively. The same applies to non-gtk versions. If you need to specify the GTK+ install path (Default is C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0), then download the latest GTK+ installer from above, and do the following:
gtk-runtime-2.6.9-rev-a.exe /L=1033 /S /NOUI /D=C:\GTK+ gaim-1.5.0-no-gtk.exe /L=1033 /S /D=C:\Gaim
The GTK+ installer has two silent states. One with message boxes: /S, and one without: /S /NOUI. The reason for this is that the installer was made to run from within the Gaim installer where you would expect to see message boxes for errors.
