Silent Install w/ License
How does one create an installer that in graphical mode displays a license, but when run in silent mode, behaves as if the user agrees?

thanks

i'm not a NSIS person...but i think that would be illegal.

The licesne page is always skiped when in silent mode.

binary hero, why would it be illegal if it's his installer?

a liscence is something for a user to agree/disagree to - it is a contract. by clicking agree, they are saying that they have read it and understand it - you could just put "by installing this you agree that i own your body and all of your worldly possessions" in an installer, if somebody agrees, then i own them...if they disagree then i don't. by automatically agreeing, the user is essentially signing a contract that they never read, but is still legally binding.

Maybe he wants the application itself to display the license when installed silently.

A little clarification:

By "The licesne page is always skiped when in silent mode.", I meant that it's skipped because nothing is shown, so it won't show either.
