    Hi s1ave77 ;
    first of all thanks for your reply.
    Sure i know how to find silent install switch via /?
    when i use /silent , it shows progress window during installation and i dont want this..
    when i use /verysilent it goes to a error loop lasting about five minutes and at the end of 5 minutes there is nothing installed
    Please try it on your computer and you will see what i mean
    Thanks

    Use Inno Extractor
    Open this exe

    As you see it does nothing really, it just extracts a bunch of files to its Program folder

    You can extract these files & then make self-extracting .exe with 7-zip & extract silent to where you want

    That how I would go about it if the dev that you paid money does not want to fix it!
    Code:
    Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F
    
    0037B500                    90 90 90 90 90                       .....
    0037B510                             90 90 90 90 90 90              ......
    003A9F10                    84                                   „
    
    And magic number is 19 charcaters
