Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn: Help with silent install (ExePackage
Alright, I tried a different install command according to an example I found in the forum: ExePackage Id=Update SuppressSignatureVerification=yes SourceFile=C:\Downloads\Update_1.12.10.exe PerMachine=yes InstallCommand=/qn UninstallCommand=/qn Vital=no/ It didn't work for me unfortunately. I'm very sorry if I seem a bit slow here, but I don't understand exactly what input InstallCommand needs. I also tried to input the complete msiexec /qn /i command (which works from command line), but no luck. My logfile has this: /Applying execute package: TTUpdate, action: Install, path: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Package Cache\CC325E7E72D2C044FBEF06359187E9475C1D8D77\Update_1.12.10.exe, arguments: 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Package Cache\CC325E7E72D2C044FBEF06359187E9475C1D8D77\Update_1.12.10.exe /qn'/ What am I doing wrong? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Wix-Burn-Help-with-silent-install-ExePackage-tp7496163p7498509.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn: Help with silent install (ExePackage
Very hard to tell. It very much depends on how the executable works. Burn just launches the executable and passes the appropriate command-line (InstallCommand for install and UninstallCommand for uninstall and RepairCommand for repair).

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn: Help with silent install (ExePackage
Yeah well, apparently a simple /s sufficed. I tried that before of course, but probably in combination with something else, which made the silent install fail.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn: Help with silent install (ExePackage)
The exe is a patch and is supposed to support silent install, but maybe it doesn't. Do you happen to know any official exe's that supports silent install, that I can download and test with? This has bugging me for days, and it would be nice to find out if I'm doing something wrong or if the file is wrong... -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Wix-Burn-Help-with-silent-install-ExePackage-tp7496163p7496331.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn: Help with silent install (ExePackage
Just try running Update_1.12.10.exe from a command prompt, it none of the options works silently it doesn't support it. You could also try /? and see if it supports help.

The log file should show you the command being passed to the executable. Maybe try that exact command outside of Burn?
