Silent Install

[snae]

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

Hi,

Please try the following:

setup.exe /S /X c:\myfoldergoeshere

Does this help?

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\).

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,

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

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.
