Silent vs Unattended installation

[MaD]

I've already read the following doc : http://www.indigorose.com/kb/IRKB-SF5-000001.pdf
I must be missing something. It says "Silent" Installation which is what I am looking for. What I have ended up with is an unattended installation. Yes, there is no user interaction, but I still have a background window and a status meter letting them know something is being installed on the machine which isn't "silent", just automated.

Is there a way to kill the screens completely using either a command line switch (-q, /s) or a way to kill the screens from the SF software ? Maybe I'm just missing something.

Re: Silent vs Unattended installation

I've also tried using a script (Winbatch) to force it into a silent mode. Because the setup generated by SF spawns IRsetup.exe it's impossible to trap the process. I even let it extract to my temp, copied it and ran it directly from irsetup.exe (using a script to force "irsetup.exe" hidden) and it STILL displays the initial screen and status bar.

Please help. If true silent can't be done I have to rebuild my package by hand or with another vendors packager.

Re: Silent vs Unattended installation

Hi,
Sorry but a "true" silent installation, as you describe it, is not possible using Setup Factory 5.0. With the newest version of Setup Factory, v5.0.1.4, you can shut the Background image off, which will make your installation more of a "silent" installation. Please note that the status messages will still appear.

Re: Silent vs Unattended installation

Thanks for the reply.

Would it be possible to get this added in a future release ?
