visual studio .net setup : Visual Basic Application Install

I would like to perform an unattended install of a VB .NET 2003 application.
Has anyone ever done this? Can someone tell me what I need to do this? I'm
looking at possibly using answer files but I'm not sure if .NET will read
these or what parameters to put in my answer file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Nancy

You can run any MSI (windows installer) setup using the following
command lines:

setup.exe /q Set the UI level the installation. /q - no UI (/qn - for
msiexec.)
/qb - basic UI
/qr - reduced UI.

The output of a VB.NET deployment project is a MSI setup.

There isn't a way to configure a setup to run silent or unattended by
default, just by using the commandline switches.
Hope this helps!
