    I am trying to create a link on a Sharepoint 3.0 webpage to a Microsoft Viewer (Word, Excel and Power Point) with the \quiet switch.  I can create a link to go directly to the app but if I try to attach the switch to the link, it fails.  I want to use the silent install so end user do not have to do anything with the install wizard.  Has anyone had any success in doing this or have any ideas on how I can do this?

    Thanks.

    So you're trying to create a "Software Library" almost, where users can install their own software by clicking a link on a page?

    Just trying to make sure I'm getting it.

    If that's the case, you may have to use SharePoint designer to modify the actual link, but try something like,

    <a href="\\DangerServer\Downloads\MyVirusArchive.exe" type="application/octet-stream">Don't download this file!</a>

    Where in the file reference is the switch.
