VERY IMPORTANT - Response file generation

Is there a way to silently install InstallAware kits by passing in a config file?

Meaning something like InstallAnywhere’s

installername -f <properties file>

Or InstallShield’s setup -r -f1my_response_file.iss

Where a file is generated that remembers user responses and can be used to automate future installations?

Royi said this was a feature (can't find the email d'oh).

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

is this what you was searching for?

- Use Get INI File Settings to read any kind of custom INI file format
- Use command line parameters such as: setup.exe /s "TARGETDIR=c:\path name with spaces" "SERIAL=SERIAL VALUE WITH SPACES" etc.

Regards

Thanks,

I have implemented this; however, your competition allows for flags which auto generate response files.

That's what I was asking/ requesting.

Chris

Is there any way to create response file for .msi setup apart from creating our own custom INI file ?

Unfortunately, nothing changed on this.
