Creating installation for Sawtooth 9.15.0

[Matt Splat]

Hello all! 

I am very very newbie to creating installation packages forewarned! I create an installation package for Sawtooth 9.15.0 by Lighthouse Studio that I load into Intune that then puts it in our Company Portal that we use for software installations. The problem I am having is this version is uninstalling the existing previous version 9.14.0 from laptops that are installing 9.15.0. I noticed when I just install 9.15.0 using the .exe file from Lighthouse it gives me options during the installation process to not uninstall existing previous software versions. Can anyone tell me what I would need to do on the install command in Intune for 9.15.0 to either not remove 9.14.0 or to give the installation wizard to users  who install 9.15.0 so they can choose the options to keep it? Here is my install command: "LighthouseStudio_9_15_0_1_Setup.exe" /VERYSILENT

You should contact the authors of that software to ask about their
silent install options and what you would need to pass to their
installer to do what you want, or for other advice on repackaging their
software. Most commercial software licenses do not allow you to
repackage the software without the author's permission.

Thanks Gavin, I did reach out to them. They passed along an article with some options though not what I needed. They suggested trying this forum for further assistance after understanding exactly what I wanted to do.

Nobody here knows what command line options exist in the original installer (if the options you need even exist). Get back to the creator and explain this to them.

Thanks for the info folks! I did ask the developer for further information, and they did manager a solution for me. 

On one of their support pages for this activity they published the install command that works below:

"LighthouseStudio_9_15_0_1_Setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /TASKS="uninstallpreviousversionsautomatically,excelplugin,desktopicon"

I asked them how can I adjust the first TASK there to do the opposite (i.e. not uninstall the previous version), and they could come up with the syntax I needed below by adding a "!" in front of it:

"LighthouseStudio_9_15_0_1_Setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /TASKS="!uninstallpreviousversionsautomatically,excelplugin,desktopicon"
