Re: Silent Install

We tested this here and it works fine.

The /X switch overwrites the original %_SB_INSTALLDIR% variable. Of course, this does not have any affect if the developer of the software "overwrites" this variable again (via the scripting language).

If you are interested, please ask the developer to contact me at friedrich (at) lindersoft (dot) com.

Re: Silent Install

No I am afraid not, the default location is displayed.

Re: Silent Install

What happens if you do not use the /S switch?

setup.exe /X c:\test

Do you see c:\test in the Choose Destination folder?

Thanks,

Re: Silent Install

Thanks, but I am afraid that this does not work, the /S does install silently, but the installation path remains the same (C:\program files\product name\).

Re: Silent Install

Hi,

Please try the following:

setup.exe /S /X c:\myfoldergoeshere

Does this help?

Re: Silent Install

I have one more question, I do not have access to your docs, just a product produced by your app. Is it possible to, along with specifying /S on the command line, also change the default directory by means of a switch or response file?

TIA

Re: Silent Install

Thank you for your kind words!!!

Re: Silent Install

I do have access to the original author (though an intermediary) so I will put this request to them. Thanks a lot for your prompt replies. After a few years of using (if that is the right word) Installshield it is refreshing to see this kind of installer.

Re: Silent Install

Sorry, should read:

If %_SB_INSTALLERFLAG% Equals "0" on Position "$SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$" Then
Display Setup Progress Dialog
End
