Parameters for extracted .exe setup

Question

I have a SampleApp.exe. When I double click it, it extracts itself into a folder (lets say a folder name SampleAppFolder and YES it do ask for a folderpath) and starts a Setup.exe from that folder (Setup.exe is extracted in SampleAppFolder). I want to run SampleApp.exe in silent mode. So I created a batch file as

"D:\Softwares\SampleApp.exe" /S /V" /quiet"

Everything gets extracted in SampleAppFolder silently but when it triggers Setup.exe from the folder, I am able to see a window. But I wanted to run even this .exe in silent mode. So I guess I need to pass some parameters for this setup.exe also. But I am not sure how. Any pointers please?

On more thing, I changed the above query as

"D:\Softwares\SampleApp.exe" /extract"C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\TestFiles123" /S /V" /quiet"

I thought the extraction path will change, but nothing happened and the files got extracted to default location again. Any pointers? Thanks

Did you write the app yourself? – Bali C Jan 09 '13 at 14:21 — Bali C, Jan 09 '13 at 14:21

Try opening it up in 7-zip. It can extract files from most installers and you can choose where to extract them (and which ones if you're only looking for a couple).
