Title: MSAgent Installation
Post by: bijothoma on October 09, 2007, 01:45:26 AM
Hi,
I'm new to Inno Script. I tell you, it is a splendid tool. We've written a talking dictionary in VB6 using MSAgent for voice features. We've created our own agent character to read out the mp3 audio files. Now, while distributing the package I would like to install the agent control silently. Now is it absolutely necessary that I install the Microsoft provided MSAgent installation package or just installing the agentctl.dll is enough? If running the agent package is necessary, can I do it in a silent mode? Pls provide me the parameter script for the same.
Also should I include the speech API in the installation for older OSs?
 
Many Thanks

If you have the MSAgent installation, generally with MS products if you go to the command line and type for example MSAgent /? it will give you all the parameters that it will accept. You cannot run something silent if it does not want to. Deploying just the dll may not get you app to work properly. Especially if there are other supporting functions and dll/ocx/exe that it needs to operate.
 
If you are deploying to older OS's you should deploy everything that is needed for your app to run properly so that you wont need to count on it being installed already (Luck).
