    Silent Install

    Does anyone know how I can make an MST file instead of an MSI file? I
    want to be able to install a program from a batch file. Or is there
    any way to make a silent install package?

      MSIExec is what runs msi files, and it, as far as I know, always accepts /q
      for quiet installs.

      I don't know anything about .mst files. I would presume they are similar?

              I just made an installer called HelloWorldSetup .msi and ran this:

              msiexec /p helloworldsetup .msi /q
