Attempting Unattended / silent windows install BZR 1.10 on windows: what command switches are available? for

Asked by RayH

I am attempting to install bzr unattended on a number of Windows machines.

Seems to work with bzr-setup-1.10-1.exe /silent as a pure guess.

But what command switches / options are available for a silent installation?

I'd rather not have the experimental Tortoise explorer interface installed on these machines

thanks.

Ha ha running the installer with option /log="install.txt" reveals that the installer runs using Inno setup

2009-01-29 12:34:18.427 Log opened. (Time zone: UTC+01:00)
2009-01-29 12:34:18.427 Setup version: Inno Setup version 5.2.3

see http://unattended.sourceforge.net/InnoSetup_Switches_ExitCodes.html for the command line switches.

So here's the answer to my own question:

Run the installer with the following switches.

C:\>bzr-setup-1.10-1.exe /log="install.txt" /SAVEINF="bzr_install_settings.txt"

This will run an interactive install and save your options to a file bzr_install_settings.txt for later use

C:\>more bzr_install_settings.txt
[Setup]
Lang=default
Dir=C:\Program Files\Bazaar
Group=Bazaar
NoIcons=0
SetupType=custom
Components=main,plugins
Tasks=path

Now for an unattended silent install, run again on a remote machine with the following switches after copying across the installer .ex and the file bzr_install_settings.txt.

C:\>bzr-setup-1.10-1.exe /log="install.txt" /LOADINF="bzr_install_settings.txt" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

et voila!
