Specifies the application Installation File path to be installed. It can be an .exe or .msi file. The Following locations are supported for Installation files:
Specifies command line switches to initiate an unattended (silent) installation. Once the Installation File is selected, the Silent Install Builder automatically detects the Install system type and command line parameters. If the installer type was not detected, try to find the information you need in other sources: visit software vendors website or contact support.
Use UI Script recorder to automate uninstallation process. It allows to manipulate controls such as edit boxes, check boxes, list boxes, combos, trees, buttons. Use this method if the installer does not support the silent installation or if you need to customize install options. Refer to the UI Script Recorder section to get info on how to record the UI Automation Script.
The Uninstall Application Action performs a silent uninstallation of the specified application. The main options are the same as in Install Application Dialog, below is described only different options.
These types of deployment tools allow you to integrate your application packages, and even better if your packages support silent install parameters since the applications will get installed silently in the background without any end-user interaction.
We're seeing that more Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) tend to deliver their software products in MSI format. This format provides a standard foundation for installing and uninstalling software and also supports silent install switches.
The logic behind repackaging is that you capture all of the changes made to the system (files and registries) of the original installer (e.g. EXE without silent switches) by using a monitor tool (the repackager). Then, you build all the captured resources into an MSI.
InstallBuilder installers offer multiple installation modes to facilitate deployment in any environment. Several GUI modes provide a native look-and-feel in all major desktop environments. The text mode allows for console-based and remote installations, and the silent / unattended install mode can be used to deploy software across a large number of servers in an automated fashion.
Often there are programs without silent installation or in which you need to register configs.
Helps me with this Silent Install Builder.
With UI Recorder you can record your installer.
I wonder if there are analogues of Silent Install Builder.
We have a ton of apps made by small companies that don't package the installers with silent options. I found some software call Silent Install Builder that will let you repackage installers to make them silent. Does anyone have any experience with this software? Or something similar that they would recommend?
I have started to use MDT very recently and I'm more than happy with what it can do for us. And since I'm using MDT I also learned to love msi packets and hate exe's which have all kinds of different silent switches and other parameters, so for every Program that doesn't provide an msi packet I have to get looking. So my question is: Is there a website that just acts as a sort of knowledgebase for the install parameters of (most) Programms? And: what are your go-to ways to find the silent switches but also the other available parameters. I know of:
The installbuilder.sh script has not been adapted. It only takes into account the x86_64 architecture and not the arm architecture (Apple M1). So it is not possible to deploy silently on M1 processors. Can we expect an update of this script ?
The problem is not the support of arm plateform. Rosetta 2 does the job perfectly.
But the script in the installation package only tests the x86_64 platform. But if the platform is arm the $executable variable is equal to "none" and the silent installation won't run. On the other hand, it is done if the script is not used, that is if you run it manually.
I assume that full native support for ARM Mac will mean that silent install will also work on the platform as it is supposed to. I guess the installation packages have not been updated to support the platform either. I hope you see my point.
Maxon distributes the software as a custom installer built using BitRock InstallBuilder. Fortunately, Maxon also provides some command-line install help. The actual install can be silent installed with
Here's my update:
1. You're going to have to repackage this, since they distribute it as an .app, not a .pkg. One option, if you don't want to do a snapshot install (I don't) is to create a pkg that dumps their installer into /tmp, then use a postinstall script to run a silent install. For example:
To complete the configuration, Windows DOS shells must be run with Administrator permissions and Unix shells must be owned by the same user who performed the installation (for example, oracle). Failure to follow this instruction may result in the configuration failing silently.
You can use the silent installation mode to bypass the need to monitor your product installation because no graphical output is displayed and no input by the user is required. To install Oracle Forms in silent mode, use the -silent flag on the command line when you start the installer.
Silent installation does not include configuration. That is, you cannot configure Oracle Forms silently using the same silent installation commands and response file. In this release, product installation and configuration are separate processes. The Configuration Wizard cannot be run in silent mode (or used with response files) in this release.
If you are troubleshooting an issue with a silent or deployed installation, refer to the install logs on the client machine if the install failed or the Creative Cloud Packager build log if the package built with errors. For silent installations, the log files are the only place that records error messages. See Troubleshooting a silent or deployed installation (admins only).
Products installed with the Creative Cloud Packager do not use the Creative Cloud desktop app to install. These silent installs (or deployments) do not display anything on the screen for end users. Products installed by double-clicking on the setup.exe (Windows) or install.pkg (Mac OS) display a basic UI to indicate that the product is installing. All errors for both types of installations are captured in the logs described above.
Normally, Exit code 0 means the installation succeeded. For silent installs, Adobe's installer automatically runs an uninstall command if an install fails. When a silent install fails, scrolling to the last install or reviewing the exit code can be misleading because the uninstall command also succeeds with Exit code 0. You can identify the beginning of an uninstallation using the following:
Note that you can also configure whether the item will pull in any first generation recommended or suggested packages, and you can configure whether the items are always installed or optionally installed, but that does not matter if you are installing silently.
Package installers, such as those from NI, typically prompt you with a list of items that are selectable at the top level, and then may additionally prompt you again for recommended (checked by default) and suggested (unchecked by default) packages. If you are installing silently, the recommended items are installed but the suggested items will not be installed.
Note that if you create a package installer with NI Package Builder, you can use options in the GUI to specify items to include as "top-level", whether each top-level item is optional, and whether to auto include recommended and suggested packages in the installer. However, if you are installing silently, the optional items and suggested items are not installed. Also, NI Package Builder has a separate CLI utility that can be used to automate the building of the NI Package Builder solution file.
