KB00015 - Performing a manual or silent installation of Stickies
Manual install
If you'd like to install Stickies manually, it's a simple thing to do.
First you'll need to get the files which comprise Stickies. You can do this one of two ways:
- Download the installer for the latest release and run it. Then copy the files it installs
- Download the installer for the latest release, and run it with the command line parameter
-extract
To perform an install manually:
- Copy the file
stickies.exe
toc:\program files (x86)\stickies
- Copy
stickies.chm
there if you'd like to use the help file - Create a shortcut to the above
stickies.exe
file in the Startup program group
This batch file will achieve pretty much the above - it also has provision for copying in a default
stickies.db
, so your users will get the settings defined in that as default, rather than the
program default options:
set source=\\server01\installs\stickies set target=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\stickies md %target% copy /y "%source%\stickies.chm" "%target%" copy /y "%source%\stickies.exe" "%target%" copy /y "%source%\stickies.lnk" "%startup%" md "%appdata%\stickies" if exist "%appdata%\stickies\stickies.db" goto skip copy "%source%\stickies.db" "%appdata%\stickies" :skip "%startup%\stickies.lnk"
