[quote="adrian_vg"]Just tried to silently install the latest stable version of WinSCP; v4.2.5.

Using the info in the faq, I've been using the /silent and /verysilent switches as well as the /loadinf-parameter to automate installations. This no longer works.

Error is I get a popup saying "Please chose an option" and offers me to click OK, whereupon the installer shuts down.

This is the line in the install script I use:

[list]winscp425setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /LOADINF="winscp4.inf" /NOICONS /mergetasks="desktopicon\common"
[/list]
I've also tried the bare-metal silent install with the same result:
[list]"winscp425setup.exe" /SILENT /LOADINF="winscp4.inf"[/list]
The contents of winscp4.inf below. I use /saveinf with the installer to create the answer-file:

[list][Setup]
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\WinSCP
Group=WinSCP
NoIcons=1
Components=main,shellext,pageant,puttygen
[/list]

Can you advise please? If I forgot any information pertinent to this, please let me know. Thanks.

How incredibly mature. How old might you be then? :roll:

Anyway, I encountered the same problem again a while ago on a couple of machines at work. Only those few, all other worked fine installing the latest version of WinSCP. No big deal basically.

That was weird, just booted up my computer for the day and tried it again, and now it works... :roll:

Don't know if it had anything to do with the numerous uninstalls and installs of WinSCP while I was trouble-shooting or what. Should I encounter this again, I'll get back to you.

Sorry for wasting your time. :?

Made a small typo when using the /SAVEINF-switch, below is the new contents of winscp4.inf.

Silent install however still gives me the "Chose option"-popup.
