I noticed that your self extracting exe unzips and then runs

"bin/eagle.exe --setup", which is fine, but I'm not able to figure out how

to pass any of the inputs for scripted installs. It appears that all

the --setup command does, is take a couple of inputs, and then copies

itself into the target location, and create two files: eagle.key, and

uninstall.lst.

 

I have a feeling that I could install it onto one computer, and then copy

the install onto other computers, while adding the 4 Registry keys, and

the 5 start menu shortcuts, but I'd rather do it through officially

supported means.

 

Is there any method provided by CadSoft for unattended/silent installs?

 

Thanks,

This has nothing to do with your problem and is a bit off topic, but a word

to the wise:

If you don't want to hate yourself later (and you do want the students at

your institution to like you) do not waste time with version 6.1.0.

Take a look at the bug fix list for v6.1.2 and maybe you'll understand why I

say.
