Can add-ins be installed automatically (silent mode)? Print E-mail

Yes, you can start with a sample installation and then by means of the created inf file automatically install more clients.

Create sample file: %PROGRAM NAME%.exe /saveinf=Install.inf.

Now start the sample installation. In doing so the inf file with its settings is created. After that you can run more installations with this file: %PROGRAM NAME%.exe /silent /loadinf=Install.inf.

%PROGRAM NAME% stands for the name of the program, e.g. FormatNumbers

Example for an Install.inf for a standard installation:

[Setup]
Lang=eng
Dir=C:\Program Files\ESM-Tools\FormatNumbers
Group=ESM-Tools\FormatNumbers
NoIcons=0

There are no restrictions by choosing the name of the Inf file. But you should keep in mind that the name has to be put in double quotes if it contains blanks.

If you use an Inf file for installation, the program will always be installed for all users of the computer.

The setup has been developed with Inno setup. You can download the program by the software producer for free and use more parameters for the installation (please refer to the index of the Inno help section "Setup Command Line Parameters").
