silent install /s not working, missing something?

[norbertjurkiewicz]

Are there any special considerations that must be taken to make an installer run silently

I created a uncompressed build (will be compressed and GPO MSI) when released. The /s flag doesn't seem to run without GUI. I still get the wizard.

I discovered that

Code: Select all

setup.exe /s

does not work. However,

Code: Select all

setup.exe SILENT=TRUE 

does. Any chance I can get an explanation?

Dear user,

Setup. exe /s - to execute InstallAware setup package in silent mode

If you want to run an MSI package (for example the above package converted using GP wizard), this can be done as follow:

- if you want to execute in silent mode an MSI package run as:
msiexec /i "MSI FILE" /quiet

- if you want to wrap the silent switch with your generated MSI package, enter the "/s" option as any other command line parameters you wish to pass to your MSI setup. Doing this the generated MSI package will be always executed as silent mode.

To test the above run as:
- msiexec /i "MSI FILE"

Hope this helps you.
