CD AutoRun Sample

I am building a CD AutoRun using the provided template.

Is there or will there be a way to turn off the progrees bar?

I am running from an uncompressed setup for the CD AutoRun but everyone agrees that it would be much nicer without the initial progress bar.

This would be a great feature for Utility scripts like the CD AutoRun and a WebUpdate script I am writing also.

I assume you mean the initial startup progress bar?
You could start the setup (autorun) silently, and then override the SILENT variable to FALSE in your setup script to obtain the effect you desire.

When I execute the package with /s with

Code: Select all

Set Variable SILENT to FALSE

I get an access violation. when I start without the /s the script runs fine. I have tried putting the set variable command at the very begining and just before the welcome dialog, Both exhibit the same behavior.

Any suggestions?

Will look into it.

This was a bug in InstallAware. If you started a setup silently, it would not load any dialogs; later when you disabled silent execution from the script, it would attempt to display non-existent dialogs. This issue has been resolved.

If you are a licensed user, simply regenerate and reinstall your licensing materials to remove this problem. And, an update for the trial downloads will be made available in 24 hours.
