Canon CapturePerfect Silent Install
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to get a silent install working with Canon's scanner utility, CapturePerfect, but can't seem to get it working. I have tried every silent switch I know of and googled as well as I can, but I'm still stumped.
Does anyone have a working install for this software? Or is anyone willing to try to figure it out?
I am happy to provide a link to the official Canon download site if anyone wants to try it.
Thanks

Please make sure that you have the box that says "Include Entire Directory" checked in the package setup. This option is required any time that there is more than just a singular setup file, such as setup.exe. For your case this is true, where there are data.cab files in the same directory that are most definitely required.

Thanks for responding again,Evan. I am trying to install CapturePerfect v3.1.
I got the software from a disk that was included with the scanner. I just checked online because I thought that Canon had a download was available to anyone, but it looks like they don't have the full version of the software available for download. They just have upgrades, unfortunately. I would be happy to send the install file to you through dropbox, box, google drive, or onedrive if you'd like, but I understand that you may not find that very secure.

We have use PDQ to install capture perfect 3.1.41. Since it's an installshield installer you first need to create a setup.iss response file and put that in the install directory. And then just run the installer with a /s parameter.
I did find that if you don't need the sharepoint plugin delete that plugin folder in the installer folder before you create your setup.iss file.

Thank you for your help as well with this! I know a couple years ago I failed at trying to get a package to work. Today, 10 min later - Success!
One more thing to mention for those that have not created a setup.iss file before, here's a quick tip:
To create the setup.iss file:
in cmd prompt cd to your setup.exe file then type:
setup.exe -r
After you complete the setup, the "setup.iss" file will be located in your C:\Windows directory.
Copy that file to where your setup.exe is.
Then with PDQ Deploy - Create the package, navigating to the setup.exe
Make sure to check the box "Include entire directory"
Then make sure to add the "-s" parameter to setup.exe
setup.exe -s
