Setup Command Line Parameters
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
General parameters available to all InnoSetup based installers
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Setup program accepts optional command line parameters. These can
|
|
be useful to system administrators, and to other programs calling the
|
|
Setup program.
|
|
|
|
These notes are applicable to version 4.2.7 of InnoSetup.
|
|
/SP-
|
|
Disables the 'This will install... Do you wish to continue?' prompt at
|
|
the beginning of Setup. Of course, this will have no effect if the
|
|
DisableStartupPrompt [Setup] section directive was set to yes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/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. Everything else is normal so for
|
|
example error messages during installation are displayed and the startup
|
|
prompt is (if you haven't disabled it with DisableStartupPrompt or the '/SP-' command line option
|
|
explained above)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/LOG
|
|
Causes Setup to create a log file in the user's TEMP directory
|
|
detailing file installation actions taken during the installation
|
|
process. This can be a helpful debugging aid. For example, if you
|
|
suspect a file isn't being replaced when you believe it should be (or
|
|
vice versa), the log file will tell you if the file was really
|
|
skipped, and why.
|
|
|
|
The log file is created with a unique name based on the current date.
|
|
(It will not overwrite or append to existing files.) Currently, it is
|
|
not possible to customize the filename.
|
|
|
|
The information contained in the log file is technical in nature and
|
|
therefore not intended to be understandable by end users. Nor is it
|
|
designed to be machine-parseable; the format of the file is subject
|
|
to change without notice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/NOCANCEL
|
|
Prevents the user from cancelling 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/LOADINF="filename"
|
|
Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after
|
|
having checked the command line. This file can be prepared using the
|
|
'/SAVEINF=' command as explained below.
|
|
|
|
o Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/SAVEINF="filename"
|
|
Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file.
|
|
|
|
o Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/LANG=language
|
|
Specifies the language to use. language specifies the internal name
|
|
of the language as specified in a [Languages] section entry.
|
|
|
|
o When a valid /LANG parameter is used, the Select Language dialog will be suppressed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/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. If the [Setup] section directive DisableProgramGroupPage
|
|
was set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/NOICONS
|
|
Instructs Setup to initially check the Don't create any icons check box
|
|
on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parameters specific to Firebird installs
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
/COMPONENTS="comma separated list of component names"
|
|
|
|
Choose from - SuperServerComponent,
|
|
ClassicServerComponent,
|
|
ServerComponent,
|
|
DevAdminComponent and
|
|
ClientComponent
|
|
|
|
Overrides the default components settings. Using this command line
|
|
parameter causes Setup to automatically select a custom type. A full
|
|
install requires combining components. For example:
|
|
|
|
/COMPONENTS="SuperServerComponent, ServerComponent,
|
|
DevAdminComponent, ClientComponent"
|
|
|
|
would be required for a full install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/FORCE
|
|
|
|
Tells the installer to ignore its analysis of the existing
|
|
environment. It will attempt to install and configure Firebird 1.5 as
|
|
if no previous version of Firebird or InterBase was installed.
|
|
|
|
This can be useful if you have a seriously broken installation that
|
|
you cannot uninstall. Or it could be another way to aggravate your
|
|
users by breaking a perfectly good working install of InterBase. Its
|
|
your choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/NOCPL
|
|
|
|
Don't install the Control Panel Applet. This is useful for two
|
|
reasons:
|
|
|
|
o Installing/Uninstalling the CPL applet requires a system
|
|
restart on Windows 2000 (and perhaps some other platforms.)
|
|
|
|
o You may wish to use an alternative cpl applet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/NOGDS32
|
|
|
|
Don't install a copy of the client library into the system directory,
|
|
even if installation analysis concludes it is OK to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/COPYFBCLIENT
|
|
|
|
Copy the fbclient.dll to the system directory. This is recommended
|
|
for client installs if you are sure that you will only ever be
|
|
accessing a single server version. If your client applications are
|
|
likely to take advantage of accessing different server versions this
|
|
is not recommended. See
|
|
doc/README.Win32LibraryInstallation.txt
|
|
for more information.
