Silent Install of pgAdmin3

I have been looking for a way to silently install this tool, in a similar
manner
to how PostgreSQL may be silently installed. Is there anyway to do this?

Trying this message again .... I need to hear from anyone who may have done
this,
or knows how.

Might be able to consider wrapping it in a C program or something like that,
but
am not a C programmer, and could use some guidance.

Sorry - meant to reply but somehow lost your message.

(I assume you're on Windows) In theory you can install silently using
the right command line options to msiexec (see the Microsoft
documentation), and setting the appropriate properties on the command
line, however this has never been tested afaik. You'll probably have
better luck doing this with the snapshot versions as they have the new
Wix based installer (well,
http://developer.pgadmin.org/snapsh...50916-Win32-Ins
taller.zip does).

Regards, Dave.

Dave thanks for the reply.

Yes, I am on Windows (2003); will take a look at the documentation
link, and try to get it done. I might get back if further questions.
Will post a solution if I get that far.
