The parameters listed below should be helpful to anyone
trying to do a silent install with an Inno Setup
program. The information on the
unattended web site is incomplete and only mentions the /silent parameter,
which in my experience is insufficient (use “setup.exe /sp- /verysilent” instead). Perhaps the web page (link below) should
be updated to include this information. http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.html This information is included with the Inno
Setup program (in the ISetup.hlp file) available for
download here: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php http://files.jrsoftware.org/ispack/ispack-4.2.0.exe Scott ------------------------------------------------------- The Setup program accepts optional command line parameters.
These can be useful to system administrators, and to other programs calling the
Setup program. /SP- /SILENT, /VERYSILENT Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent.
When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but
the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this
installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for
example error messages during installation are displayed and the startup prompt
is (if you haven't disabled it with DisableStartupPrompt
or the '/SP-' command line option explained above) If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't
used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now?
message box. If it's very silent it will reboot
without asking. /NOCANCEL Prevents the user from cancelling
during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring
clicks on the close button. Useful along with /SILENT.
/NORESTART Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.
/LOADINF="filename" Instructs Setup to load the settings from the
specified file after having checked the command line. This file can be prepared
using the '/SAVEINF=' command as explained below. Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces. /SAVEINF="filename" Instructs Setup to save installation settings
to the specified file. Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces. /LANG=language
Specifies the language to use. language specifies the internal name of the language as
specified in a [Languages] section entry. When a valid /LANG parameter is used, the Select Language dialog will be suppressed. /DIR="x:\dirname" Overrides the default directory name displayed
on the Select Destination Location wizard page.
A fully qualified pathname must be specified. /GROUP="folder name" Overrides the default folder name displayed
on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. If
the [Setup] section directive DisableProgramGroupPage was set to yes, this command line
parameter is ignored. /NOICONS Instructs Setup to initially check the Don't create any icons check box on the Select Start
Menu Folder wizard page. /COMPONENTS="comma
separated list of component names" Overrides the default components settings.
Using this command line parameter causes Setup to automatically select a custom
type. |
