Silent and unattended install of WinZip self extracting exe: How to troubleshoot and fix errors



Our organization uses Symantec Client Management Suite 7.1. We are looking to deploy a software update to some specific computers. The supplied update is a WinZip self extracting exe. I believe the self extracting exe puts files into some specific folders as well as runs a VBS script. The easiest method would be for me to just create a software delivery package with the appropriate switches to make the install silent and without any user intervention. For the life of me, I cannot find any unattend switches for WinZip self extracting file. I have tried the /auto switch however I still get a screen prompt when the package gets deployed. Anny suggestions?




silent and unattended install of winzip self extracting exe




I believe that is for installing WinZip itself in an unattended mode. I will give it a try however what I am trying to do is do a silent install of a software update that is in WinZip self extracting exe (not WinZip itself). . I will try the following:


Unfortunately I still get a prompt with that switch. I'm assuming when you say "winzip.exe" that is just in reference to the patch that I am trying to perform the silent install. Just to reiterate, I am not trying to install WinZip. It is a software patch for a application called Telestaff. The patch is a WinZip self extracting exe. I have tried the following without success:


It is required to create an automatic unattended process to install CA Gen 8.6 Toolset for Windows and its PTFs.The base product install has a silent/unattended option, but the PTFs do not e.g. installation of Gen 8.6 Complete PTF WKS86200 requires user input 'I' (to install).Is there any way to install PTFs in silent mode, without any user input?


2. Do not execute self-extracting WKS86200Z.exe (to avoid it automatically running the setup.bat file)Instead, open it with a zip file utility like 7-Zip or WinZip and extract the 4 files:setup.batuninstall.batWKS86200A.exeWKS86200.ctl


4. Gen 8.6 silent/unattended install steps are documented here: CA Gen 8.6 > Installing > Install CA Gen on Windows > Installing CA Gen on the Windows Platform > Silently Install CA Gen Product Software5. Some problems have been reported with the PTF silent install failing after the product silent install because the new Gen86 environment variable created by the product install is not being picked up (message is "GEN86% is not defined"). An existing command prompt (cmd.exe) won't pick up any of the new Gen 8.6 environment variables, but a new instance started after the install should.However, support ran some tests on Windows 10 and also found some problems with a new instance of cmd.exe also not always picking up the new Gen 8.6 related environment variables. From reading the web a Windows Explorer session is supposed to pick up the environment variable changes automatically, but the behaviour can be somewhat unpredictable for new cmd.exe instances depending on how they are started.The most reliable solution is to use a script named RefreshEnv.cmd which is available from GitHub here: That will refresh all current environment variables in the current cmd.exe instanceSo a sequence of silent install followed by RefreshEnv.cmd will then allow the silent PTF install to be executed successfully, all in the same cmd.exe instance.


In the following example:a. Gen 8.6 install media for Windows file DVD03145911E.iso is in directory C:\temp and has been extracted to directory C:\temp\DVD03145911E, so the msi file and the other required install files it uses are in directory C:\temp\DVD03145911E\Gen.b. The file run_silent_install_all.cmd contains the single line:msiexec /i "CA Gen 8.6.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL /qnc. C:\temp\WKS86200 is the directory containing the WKS86200 files (setup_custom.bat, uninstall.bat, WKS86200A.exe, WKS86200.ctl) and RefreshEnv.cmd


Steps to run:C:\>cd C:\temp\DVD03145911E\GenC:\temp\DVD03145911E\Gen>run_silent_install_all.cmdC:\temp\DVD03145911E\Gen>cd C:\temp\WKS86200C:\temp\WKS86200>RefreshEnv.cmdC:\temp\WKS86200>setup_custom.bat


I tested those steps per below with additional environment variable checks at the different stages using set and find commands:+++C:\temp\DVD03145911E\Gen>run_silent_install_all.cmd


WinZip is a file archiver that can create archives in Zip file format and unpack some other archive file formats.

And then a similar question here on Super User, Redirect 7-Zip's command-line output to /dev/null on Windows when extracting a .7z file reports that the issue is mostly the output, and that by sending the output to NULL, you make the system run essentially silent:


Suppress all reboots and reboot prompts initiated by ForceReboot during the installation. Suppress all reboots and reboot prompts at the end of the installation. Both the reboot prompt and the reboot itself are suppressed. For example, reboots at the end of the installation, caused by an attempt to install a file in use, are suppressed.
