Silent Installations / Installer Command Line Options

Command Line Options

Our installer accepts a number of command line options that can be used to generate silent installations and can automate other installation tasks.

  • /SILENT, /VERYSILENT
    Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed.
  • /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
    Instructs Setup to suppress message boxes. Only has an effect when combined with '/SILENT' or '/VERYSILENT'. The default response in situations where there's a choice is:
    -Yes in a 'Keep newer file?' situation.
    -No in a 'File exists, confirm overwrite.' situation.
    -Abort in Abort/Retry situations.
    -Cancel in Retry/Cancel situations.
    -Yes (=continue) in DiskSpaceWarning, DirExists, DirDoesntExist, NoUninstallWarning, ExitSetupMessage, ConfirmUninstall situations.

    3 message boxes are not suppressible:
    -The About Setup message box.
    -The Exit Setup? message box.
    -Any (error) message box displayed before Setup (or Uninstall) could read the command line parameters.
  • /NOCANCEL
    Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with '/SILENT' or '/VERYSILENT'.
  • /LOADINF="filename"
    Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after having checked the command line. This file can be prepared using the '/SAVEINF=' command as explained below. Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces.
  • /SAVEINF="filename"
    Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file. Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces.
  • /DIR="x:\dirname"
    Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.
  • /GROUP="folder name"
    Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. If the [Setup] section directive DisableProgramGroupPage was set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored.
  • /NOICONS
    Instructs Setup to initially check the Don't create any icons check box on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.
