acen2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Could anyone please tell me wot are the most common install switches for INSTALL SHIELD. As trying to find a switch for the HT Fireman application. Iv tryd /S /s /VERYSILENT /SILENT /QN and in lowercase but no luck, it may just be that there isnt one and im wastein my time. Thanks I should have done a search for this on the board. Iv been messing around with the setup.iss file but I still dont have any luck getting this thing to install. ?!!!!!!!!!1 Edited June 24, 2006 by acen2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbinoRaven Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 For installshield you have to first record the installation that you want with the /r switch.For my example I'll a monitoring agent I use on my servers called eGagent. It has a setup.exe. I open a command line window and navigate to the directory with the agent and use the following to start the process of recording the iss file.example:setup.exe -r -f1"c:\eG\eGsetup.iss"This will launch the setup application and you select the options you want and they get recorded to, in my case, c:\eG\eGsetup.iss and record a log file in case I messed up.Then if you want to silently install the application you useexample:setup.exe -s -f1"c:\eG\eGsetup.iss"That's it.Hope it works out.

acen2006 Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Yes man! that worked fine!. I ended up with this line :start /wait %systemdrive%Htfireman\Htfireman.exe /s /f1"%systemdrive%\Htfireman\Htfireman.iss" /fJust as a TEST and the application installed no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbinoRaven Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Perfect.There are some other switches with install shield but I find they are kinda pointless unless I'm debugging one of my own Install shield compiles./r and /s are our friends. Yes man! that worked fine!. I ended up with this line :start /wait %systemdrive%Htfireman\Htfireman.exe /s /f1"%systemdrive%\Htfireman\Htfireman.iss" /fJust as a TEST and the application installed no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
