Unattended installation of WebP codec

I wrote this up many, many moons ago. I wanted a way to install Google’s WebP codec on Windows in an unattended fashion to complement my just-install script.

What I eventually came up with was the following:

rem cd to temp
cd %temp%

rem clean up old folders
del %temp%\WebpCodecSetup.exe %temp%\7z1701.msi %temp%\.data %temp%\.rdata %temp%\.reloc %temp%\.text
rd /s /q %temp%\7z1701 %temp%\.rsrc

rem download installer
bitsadmin /transfer installerDownload /download /priority normal https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webp/WebpCodecSetup.exe %temp%\WebpCodecSetup.exe

rem download 7zip
bitsadmin /transfer unpackDownload /download /priority normal http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1701.msi %temp%\7z1701.msi

rem unpack 7zip
msiexec /a %temp%\7z1701.msi /qb TARGETDIR=%temp%\7z1701\

rem unpack installer
%temp%\7z1701\Files\7-Zip\7z.exe x %temp%\WebpCodecSetup.exe

rem rename and install source msis
ren %temp%\.rsrc\0\MSIFILE\10 10.msi
msiexec /i %temp%\.rsrc\0\MSIFILE\10.msi /quiet /qn /norestart

rem clean up used folders
del %temp%\WebpCodecSetup.exe %temp%\7z1701.msi %temp%\.data %temp%\.rdata %temp%\.reloc %temp%\.text
rd /s /q %temp%\7z1701 %temp%\.rsrc

The script will download the installer, and 7zip to do the unpacking, then delete everything afterwards.

Note, this will only install the 64bit install 10.msi, if you’re still working on 32bit Windows, you want to rename and install 1.msi instead.
