Setup Command Line Parameters
Top  Previous  Next


The Setup programs (Installer and Uninstaller) accept optional command line parameters that assist you with the automatic deployment of iMacros. These can be useful to system administrators, and to other programs calling the Setup program.

Installer
The installer program accepts the following optional command line parameters.

/SILENT
/VERYSILENT

Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent, the Wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed.

If a restart is necessary and the
/NORESTART command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking.

/NOCANCEL
Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with
/SILENT.

/NORESTART 
Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary. Note that installing iMacros does not require a reboot unless iMacros was already installed and running on the machine during the setup.

/DIR="x:\dirname" 
Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Directory Wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified. If the [Setup] section directive DisableDirPage was set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored. Example:

iopus-iim-setup.exe /VERYSILENT /DIR="c:\iim"

installs the software automatically in the
c:\iim directory.

/GROUP="folder name" 
Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page. If the [Setup] section directive DisableProgramGroupPage was set to yes, this command line parameter is ignored.

/NOICONS 
Instructs Setup to initially disable the "Don't create any icons" check box on the Select Start Menu Folder Wizard page.

Uninstaller
The uninstaller program (unins000.exe) also accepts an optional command line parameter.

/SILENT 
When specified, the uninstaller will not ask the user any questions or display a message stating that uninstall is complete. Shared files that are no longer in use are deleted automatically without prompting. Any critical error messages will still be shown on the screen.
