Silent install commandline parameters

[zchris]

I am trying to specify a parameter for a silent install.

The script contains a default value for the parameter SERVERNAME:

Code: Select all

Set Variable SERVERNAME to localhost

On the commandline I specify setup.exe /s SERVERNAME=test

However in my script $SERVERNAME$ is always empty.

When I do a logged install the log file lists the variables as:

*** Variables ***
UNINSTALLLINK,
[...],
CMDLINE,"s /l=c:\\test.log SERVERNAME=test /m=""C:\\SETUP.EXE"" /k=""""",
[...]
SERVERNAME,,
[...]

Why is SERVERNAME empty?

Shouldn't be. Can you send me your built files and or the setup project so we can look at it?

[zchris]

I've sent you the files via email.

It includes the setup.exe and project files.

Thanks!

I'm not sure why this is happening. I'll have to get back to you on this one after some research.

Can you try other variables, such as pre-defined variables like TARGETDIR, in the interim as a stopgap solution?

[sinan]

I believe we have found the problem. An update will be posted shortly. Thanks for catching this!

[zchris]

Great! Thank you for the quick response!

I installed the update and the parameters are now working. Thanks!
