Silent Install
Hi
I have been provided with a copy of an installer produced by SetupBuilder5. I need to integrate this into another installer (an Installshield one in this case), and I need to be able to run the installer produced by SetupBuilder5 as a silent, unprompted install. Can this be done and what are the steps/switches to do this.
Thanks.

Re: Silent Install
Hello,
Please use the following to run it in "silent" mode:
setup.exe /S
Does this help?

Re: Silent Install
Ah - upper case 'S' - I had tried lowercase. Thanks. However, a dialog does pop up (just for a second) presumably when files are being extracted. Is this expected behaviour?

Re: Silent Install
The installer had been built with 5.0.0.1 it seems.

Re: Silent Install
Do you have the script available? Is it possible to send me a screenshot?
Thanks,

Screenshot attached when the installer is run with /S. I do not have the script, just the .exe. I have removed the names of the product to protect the innocent :)

Yes, this is correct. Silent means in this case "without any user intervention". It only displays the installation progress. The developer of this installation can disable this screen when running in silent mode.
This is the code:
If %_SB_INSTALLERFLAG% Equals "1" on Position "$SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$" Then
Display Setup Progress Dialog
End
I hope this helps!

Re: Silent Install
Sorry, should read:
If %_SB_INSTALLERFLAG% Equals "0" on Position "$SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$" Then
Display Setup Progress Dialog
End

Re: Silent Install
I do have access to the original author (though an intermediary) so I will put this request to them. Thanks a lot for your prompt replies. After a few years of using (if that is the right word) Installshield it is refreshing to see this kind of installer.
