[RESOLVED] Inno Setup ,/SILENT, /VERYSILENT Parameter HELP

[some1uk03]

Hello,

Does any one know why the ,/SILENT, /VERYSILENT parameters are NOT working when compiled ?

If i just RUN (F9) the compile it all works fine and silent, but when i do a Build Compile (Ctrl+F9) it doesnt !! I still get the screen....This will install... Do you wish to continue? which is NOT what i want...

How can i get rid of this?

That is a command line parameter how are you using it?

[some1uk03]

Via the command line parameter... This being..

Run Menu
>>Paramaters


Problem is.. it works in the Inno Setup IDE, but not when compiled to .exe

[randem]

That's not how you use it, try:

[Setup Program] /Silent

or

[Setup Program] /Verysilent

[some1uk03]

Im afraid that does not work either...

..but using the Run>>Parameters menu does..>!!

heres the debug output:

Setup command line: /SL4 $110030 "C:\Documents and Settings\Simpson\Desktop\MyApp\Installation Files\Output\setup.exe" 2765709 70144 /DEBUGWND=$601DE /VERYSILENT

As you can see its picking up the /VERYSILENT command.
This only works when i press the Run button (F9) and not when compiling... ctrl+F9

Did you run it from the DOS Command line?

You know Start->Run->cmd

> [Setup Program] /VERYSILIENT

It always works for me...

[some1uk03]

Hmm.. so its command line via DOS mode.. great..

Hows is the general pc user gona do that..!!

Anyways, having read on their newsgroups, its states that although the /SILENT command is possible to hide the installtion but ONLY if you do it via the command line instructions and not within Inno.

So i decided to do it in VB... which i did : )

Just put my original setup in a resource editor and extract it whenever needed.


Thanx 4 the help anyway...

Is it possible that you don't understand how Windows works???

It very common to do this, every program does it. You can use a shortcut, you can shell in VB. Anyway you execute a program you can pass those parameters and they work...
