Command line options

[mtway]

Does the setup.exe have any command line switches ?

Specificly I'm looking for a /silent switch so the install could be done from within another install without going through the setup screens.

Also it would be nice to pass switches to the setup to do options.

Re: Command line options

Hi,

It depends on what version of Setup Factory you have.

Here are the command line options for Setup Factory 5.0 and 6.0:

Setup Factory 6.0 only:

/L
Allows you to test your installation in multiple languages.
Syntax: /L#
Replace # with the language ID of the language that you want to test.
Example:
Setup.exe /L:17

/S
Forces your installation to run in silent mode. This is also supported by the uninstall.
Syntax: /S
Example:
Setup.exe /S

The following are supported in both Setup Factory 5.0 and 6.0:

/T
Allows you set the Temporary directory that the setup will use.
Syntax: /T:'path'
Replace 'path' with the temporary directory that you want to use.
Example:
Setup.exe /T:"C:\Mark Temp"

/W
Will force the Setup Factory launcher to stay active until the installation has completed.
Syntax: /W
Example:
Setup.exe /W

I finally found someone who agrees with me, this would be very useful.

Setup /G for grumpy install,

or

Setup /H for happy install.

I hope this is a good example.

Re: Command line options

Is there any way I can pass values from the command line?

It would be nice to do somthing like this:

mysetup.exe /setvars:MyVar1=23&MyVar2="Hello"

Then I could use the %MyVar1% and %MyVar2% in the setup's action to modify a setup that installs in silent mode...
