hide a 3rd party silent install
How can I continually hide a 3rd party installer I am silently installing? I have a NSIS banner that says...Quicktime is silently installing on your system

For some reason, the quicktime installer keeps coming to the foreground [in front of the banner] every time it changes screens.

Is there a way to keep hiding the quicktime installer window...keeping the banner window as the frontmost window?

many thanks

That depends on the installer QuickTime uses. If it was NSIS, you would use /S on the command line. The following websites have information about some of the most common installers and how to make them silent:
