The setup program supports a wide range of command line switches. These switches can be used to run the installation without user interaction or as a completely silent installation.
When the setup is run in silent mode then you need a way to specify the selections, you want to make. This is controlled through a range of command line switches supported by the installer.
| Switch | Description. |
|---|---|
| /SP- | Disables the startup prompt. |
| /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. If a restart is necessary and the ‘/NORESTART’ command isn’t used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it’s very silent it will reboot without asking. |
| /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES | Instructs Setup to suppress message boxes. Only has an effect when combined with ‘/SILENT’ and ‘/VERYSILENT’. |
| /NOCANCEL | Prevents the user from canceling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with ‘/SILENT’ or ‘/VERYSILENT’. |
| /NORESTART | Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it’s necessary. |
| /RESTARTEXITCODE=exit code | Specifies the custom exit code that Setup is to return when a restart is needed. Useful along with ‘/NORESTART’. Also see Setup Exit Codes. |
| /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. |
| /NOICONS | No icons are installed in the start menu, on the desktop, and in the Quick Launch bar. |
| /LOG=filename | The setup program writes a log to the specified file name. If the file exists, it will be overwritten. |
| /COMPONENTS=”comma separated list of component names“ | Using this command line parameter causes setup to automatically select a list of a components. Only the specified components will be selected; the rest will be deselected. If a component name is prefixed with a “*” character, any child components will be selected as well. If a component name is prefixed with a “!” character, the component will be deselected.Available components are:
