run() and uac

[NewsArchive]

Hi All,

run('msiexec /i '&clip(glo:uncInstallatiepad)&'\DhtmlEd.msi',1) ! OK

run('msiexec /i '&clip(glo:uncInstallatiepad)&'\DhtmlEd.msi /qn ',1) !

/qn means quite install no dialog

Nothing happens no message because of UAC i suppose.

Is there a better way?

If #1 works and #2 does not then it's not related to UAC.

Try:

'msiexec /i "'&clip(glo:uncInstallatiepad)&'\DhtmlEd.msi" /qn'

Hi Friedrich,

Hi Dirk,

Did you try my suggestion with the double-quotes?

msiexec /i "'&clip(glo:uncInstallatiepad)&'\DhtmlEd.msi" /qn

Your original command line (with the additional quiet switch) is incorrect
if the .msi has a long filename. Of course, it's very well possible that
the vendor of the .msi has disabled the /qn switch. But IMO, it's caused by
the missing double-quotes.

Hi Friedrich,

I tried with "" and tried with UAC disabled but /q (without n) seems not to
be supported.

Could it be that /q prevents the installer from running if it's not run
elevated? Can you run it from an unelevated command line?

Hi Arnor,

As administrator
C:\WINDOWS\system32>C:\clarion10\exes\mz10\DhtmlEd.msi /q
does nothing.

Have you tried any of the other /q options, see:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759262(v=ws.10).aspx


To set the user interface level
Syntax
msiexec /q{n | b | r | f | n+ | b+ | b-}
Parameters
/qn
Displays no user interface.
/qb
Displays a basic user interface.
/qr
Displays a reduced user interface with a modal dialog box displayed at
the end of the installation.
/qf
Displays the full user interface with a modal dialog box displayed at
the end.
/qn+
Displays no user interface, except for a modal dialog box displayed at
the end.
/qb+
Displays a basic user interface with a modal dialog box displayed at the
end.
/qb-
Displays a basic user interface with no modal dialog boxes.

You can use the /L to log information so that might help you identify
where the problem is. See
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc781955(v=ws.10).aspx and
also on the page mentioned above.

Hi Arnor,

Thanks. First it worked with C:\clarion10\exes\mz10\DhtmlEd.msi /qb but than
i realised i had the problem on a other machine
which is win10 64 bit instead off win 10 32 bit. On the 64 bit machine even
with C:\clarion10\exes\mz10\DhtmlEd.msi i get
"can't open installer..". So do i have to ask microsoft or make my own
installer?

Is this the "DHTML Editing Component for Applications" (version 6.02.0001)?

I have compiled it into a SetupBuilder EXE for you ("dual" code-signed and
runs in "silent" mode).

Does this help?

There is never a downside to using SetupBuilder whenever possible for
installing anything!

Besides, it is easier to let Friedrich do all the hard work while we reap
the benefits (and focus on our other work).
