To allow simple silent/unattended execution of PdfBookShufflerSetup.exe please make the message box prompting for OK "Under Windows 8.X ans Windows 10 the first launch of the software last 2 minutes. Next launches are instnantaneous." compatible with silent setup. This will make the automated deployment on hundreds of systems more robust (not waiting for a timeout and sending a kill signal to the setup process or using autoit)..

One option to do so might be moving from the "MsgBox" to "SuppressibleMsgBox" in your InnoSetup for the mentioned dialog.

    Hi Gaston,
    Your chanes did the trick! Silent Setup is now running smoothly.

    In case of interest, we run the following command for silent setup:

    PdfBookShuffler 3.1.4 Setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /LOADINF=default.cfg
    With default.cfg having the content

    [Setup]
    Lang=english
    Dir=C:\Program Files (x86)\PdfBookShuffler
    Group=PdfBookShuffler 3.1.4
    NoIcons=0
    Tasks=

    Best regards,

    Markus
