Silent install

[Pieter van der Berg]

Is there a way to select which components should be installed when running the exe from the command line?

Been a while, but I don't remember this being possible. It largely defeats the purpose of the bootstrapper which uses conditions to decide what to install.

The bootstrapper gives the option to optional install components. I got a bootstrapper from a third party which gives the option to install SQL Server. I use a central SQL server so I don't need that component and can uncheck it when using the UI. How to uncheck it when using the command line.....

It seems like an obvious feature but I honestly don't remember it being possible with turning optional components on/off via componentArgs or similar :(

Have you tried the ComponentArgs Feature

/ComponentArgs "*|id|display_name":"value"

Additional component parameters. This enables passing additional command-line arguments to all (*) or specific components by their id and/or display_name, in this order. The value is appended to both non-silent and silent command lines of msi and cmd type components. The component id or display_name must match exactly the one in the configuration.xml.

I researched the option but to me this seems to pass the parameters down to the individual installers. I want to select which component to install which is still inside the bootstrapper.
