Unable to create NVIDIA setup.iss file properly, why ?

[ElrickLandon]

Hi,

I try to make an answer file for my NVIDIA drivers, i launch the package with the following argument :

setup -r -f1c:\setup.iss /noreboot

But during the setup process, he ask me to reboot the computer and doesn't provide any iss file... what is the good command please ?

Thanks.

post the driver package name or the download link so we can try.

Some IS setups are flagged to not allow recording.

Well it looks like nVidia has this packaged into a 7Zip installer. So after extracting the actual files out, you "should" be able to use switches on the actual setup.exe. I can't fully test it because I don't have the correct video card to install it. Here is how to record:

setup.exe -r -f2"c:\temp\silent.iss" -noreboot

Alternatively, here is another method without using the iss file:

c:\temp\setup.exe -s -i -noreboot -noeula

Here is your full list of switches on the setup.exe contained within the 7Zip exe (also in setup.cfg)

		<bool name="prestage" property="PrestageInstall"/>
		<bool name="validate" property="ValidationInstall"/>
		<string name="validationFile" property="ValidationFile"/>
		<bool name="i" property="ReducedUI"/>
		<bool name="forcereboot" property="RebootRequired"/>
		<bool name="noreboot" property="IgnoreReboot"/>
		<bool name="k" property="RebootRequired"/>
		<bool name="n" property="IgnoreReboot"/>
		<bool name="passive" property="ProgressOnly"/>
		<bool name="noeula" property="SkipEula"/>
		<bool name="nofinish" property="SkipFinish"/>
