<path to setup executable> [/S] | [/D=<path to installation directory>]
<path to setup executable> [/INI=<path to configuration ini file>]
<path to setup executable> [-ms]
Silent installation:
/S or -ms
-ms is deprecated
Installation directory:
/D=<full path to install directory>
Configuration ini file:
When specifying a configuration ini file the installer will always run silently. When specifying a Configuration ini file other command line switches should not be specified and may have unexpected results
/INI=<full path to configuration ini file>
Configuration ini file syntax:
[Install] ; The name of the directory where the application will be installed in the ; system's program files directory. The security ; context the installer in running in must have write access to the ; installation directory. Also, the directory must not exist or if it exists ; it must be a directory and not a file. If any of these conditions are not met ; the installer will abort the installation with an error level of 2. If this ; value is specified then InstallDirectoryPath will be ignored. ; InstallDirectoryName=Mozilla Firefox ; The full path to the directory to install the application. The security ; context the installer in running in must have write access to the ; installation directory. Also, the directory must not exist or if it exists ; it must be a directory and not a file. If any of these conditions are not met ; the installer will abort the installation with an error level of 2. ; InstallDirectoryPath=c:\firefox\ ; Close the application without prompting the user when installing into a ; location where the application is already installed and the file is in use ; (e.g. it is already running). If this value is not specified the installer ; will prompt the user to close the application. ; CloseAppNoPrompt=true ; By default all of the following shortcuts are created. To prevent the ; creation of a shortcut specify false for the shortcut you don't want created. ; ; Create a shortcut for the application in the current user's QuickLaunch ; directory. ; QuickLaunchShortcut=false ; ; Create a shortcut for the application on the desktop. This will create the ; shortcut in the All Users Desktop directory and if that fails this will ; attempt to create the shortcuts in the current user's Start Menu directory. ; DesktopShortcut=false ; ; Create shortcuts for the application in the Start Menu. This will create the ; shortcuts in the All Users Start Menu directory and if that fails this will ; attempt to create the shortcuts in the current user's Start Menu directory. ; StartMenuShortcuts=false ; The directory name to use for the StartMenu folder. ; note: if StartMenuShortcuts=false is specified then this will be ignored. ; StartMenuDirectoryName=Mozilla Firefox
