Unattended setup issue when specifying InnoSetup inf file

[geoffroy...@gmail.com]

Hello

i am trying to prototype automation of the setup of the git client on several windows computers, using the unattended options of the InnoSetup package.

> Git-2.9.3.2-64-bit.exe /SILENT /LOADINF="user.inf"

user.inf content is as follow, generated by a previous manual install using /SAVEINF option:

[Setup]
Lang=default
Dir=C:\PRO\Tools\Git
Group=Git
NoIcons=0
SetupType=default
Components=ext,ext\shellhere,ext\guihere,assoc,assoc_sh,consolefont
Tasks=
PathOption=BashOnly
SSHOption=OpenSSH
CRLFOption=CRLFCommitAsIs
BashTerminalOption=MinTTY
PerformanceTweaksFSCache=Disabled

Resulting setup does append git \cmd folder in the system path, so the value of the option PathOption is not taken into account. Nor the value of PerformanceTweaksFSCache.

When running

> Git-2.9.3.2-64-bit.exe /SILENT /LOADINF="user.inf" / SAVEINF="check.inf"

I guess i could expect that "check.inf = user.inf"

It is not the case, see content of check.inf below, which is exactly the same 

[Setup]
Lang=default
Dir=C:\PRO\Tools\Git
Group=Git
NoIcons=0
SetupType=default
Components=ext,ext\shellhere,ext\guihere,assoc,assoc_sh,consolefont
Tasks=
PathOption=Cmd
SSHOption=OpenSSH
CRLFOption=CRLFCommitAsIs
BashTerminalOption=MinTTY
PerformanceTweaksFSCache=Enabled

What am i missing here? Can it be linked to my environment?

ps: i also tried the  /o:PathOption=BashOnly syntax, still not working

This seems to stem from the recent changes that tried to enforce a change
in defaults.

Thanks to your reminder, those changes are slated to be removed for
v2.10.0 anyway, so with the next version you should be good.

Should you need those changes earlier, you are welcome to build your own,
custom installer:

Thanks for clarification

I've checked several versions

Git-2.9.3.2-64-bit --> KO

Git-2.8.3-64-bit --> KO
Git-2.7.4-64-bit --> OK

Git-2.6.4-64-bit --> OK

Do you have any scheduled date for a 2.10 release?

The tentative release date of Git v2.10.0 is this Friday, and I typically
build Git for Windows on the day after (due to time zone issues).
