How to perform silent and unattended installation

441 Views Asked by At

I have published this application from .net 4 (it is mixture C# and VB) and here I've got the .exe file. So now I have the requirement for it to be installed silently and unattended on the users' computers. Problems:

  1. I run the setup.exe, it installs the application and opens it automatically afterwards - I do not want that.
  2. The progress bar of the installation is shown - I do not want that.

I have followed this guide, which seems pretty thorough and explains well, but none of the commands worked out. I tried probably all of the options, but I always get the same result, that I don't want - progress bar shown and application opens automatically after installation.

It seems that simply ...exe /s or ...exe /s /v/qn shall do the job, but not... I also took a look at this.

So any suggestions?

Have you tried Capital S instead of lower case s. I read some where that it is case sensitive so try ...exe /S . Also your setup file may not support /s read this http://support.arkhon.com/help/webhelp/install/creating_silent_installs.htm
