Hi,
I'm new in this forum, I use PDFCreator for years and I never had any problem for unattended setup.
Yesterday, I wanted to update V 3.5.1 in 4.0.1 and I adapted my silent script :
"PDFCreator-4_0_1-Setup.exe" /ForceInstall /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /components="program,ghostscript,comsamples,helpfiles,helpfiles\french,languages,languages\english,languages\french" /tasks="winexplorer,!desktopicon"
as describe at :
/pdfcreator/4.0/en/pdfcreator/installing-pdfcreator/setup-command-line-parameters/
This command line worked well in 3.5.1 version and above but in 4.0.1, that occurs opening setup window.
I tested other pathes :
/SAVEINF=setup.inf doesn't work,
/LOADINF=[old inf file] doesn't work
How can I launch unattended install in 4.0.1 ? I have 6 computers at home and a wpkg RPi server...
Hi.
Just extract files from PDFCreator-4_0_1-Setup.exe and you can find two MSIs inside: PDFCreator-4_0_1_22923-Setup_x64.msi PDFCreator-4_0_1_22923-Setup_x86.msi
Then you can install MSI silently: msiexec.exe /i PDFCreator-4_0_1_22923-Setup_x86.msi /qn
OK, I got legacy exe, I extracted setup.iss et view that components have changed, there are no more ghostscript, comsamples, helpfiles, and languages components, the command line for legacy version for my using is :
"PDFCreator-4_0_1-Setup.exe" /ForceInstall /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /components="program" /tasks="winexplorer,!desktopicon"
To Axellb :
Do you have a complte command line for the msi install ?
