Silently install Office 2007 Drivers
I'm very new to NSIS scripting, and I'm trying to figureout how to silenty install Office 2007 Drivers.
Right now, I just use this line:
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\AccessDatabaseEngine.exe"'
Any suggestions on how to do this silently? Thanks.

you would have to check if AccessDatabaseEngine.exe supports silent installations - not sure where you might find that information.. perhaps in the office 2007 documentation.
the only other option I could think of is poking at its UI much like AutoIt would.. hide the UI, then press buttons/etc. for the user. Can't say I recommend that at all.
