in this day and age, an unattended installation method is more or less a requirement for any software that is released.  multiple people have requested that this feature be introduced into comodo firewall.  what I fail to understand is why the development team is finding this so difficult to implement ? i had previously suggested dumping the installation mechanism currently in use and switching over to inno setup or and MSI based method.  what are you people waiting for?

I also don't understand why they decided to use their own installer. Using some of the existing installers would lower the probability of installation/uninstallation problems and lower probability of antivirus false positives on installer (PECompact compressed executable with executables in resource section ~= trojan dropper). Most preferable would be a MSI installer as there are some (mostly government and educational) institutions and companies, that wont allow installation of any software unless it uses MSI installer.

i bet they tried other products but nothing else sucked as bad as their own installation mechanism so they couldn't use 'em Tongue

Buhric,
I guess I missed your 11 May reply but I am very interested in the 'plenty more switches' you talk about for CFPCONFG.EXE.
The -s switch works if the DLed filed is first extracted (discovered this on MSFN forum) but the SafeSurf feature is not installed.  I'm hoping there is a switch which allows this.
Thanks much.
Enjoy, John.

yup -s works now - finally although obviously as you mentioned, not entirely satisfactorily! i now have an nlite compatible addon available on the msfn forums using the -s switch.  i'm sure if the developers worked a little bit harder they could provide full silent install functionality one way or the other.   by the way, that the -s now works wasn't mentioned in any of the changelogs.  i was informed by a friend on msfn that it now works
