Executing Silent Installation

To execute Silent Installation, start the command prompt and run 'setup.exe' in Execute Silent Installation mode as shown below:

Format of command

setup.exe -s [-Llanguage code] [-f1"Installation Information file name"]

Explanation of parameters

-s

This parameter enables the Execute Silent Installation mode. (Mandatory)

-Llanguage code

This parameter specifies the language code to be used during the installation. (Optional)

Specify one of the following values for the language code:

  • When you specify the language code as a decimal

    For English:

    1033

    For Japanese:

    1041

  • When you specify the language code as a hexadecimal

    For English:

    0x0409

    For Japanese:

    0x0411

You can specify the language code as either a decimal or a hexadecimal.

When you specify the language code as a hexadecimal, add '0x' to the beginning of the value.

Do not insert a space between '-L' and 'language code.'

When you omit the parameter, the system uses the language of the operating system.

Shown below is an example of specifying English for the language code.

Example)

setup.exe –s –L1033 –f1"C:\Windows\setup.iss"

-f1"Installation Information file name"

This parameter specifies the name of the Installation Information file. (Optional)

Specify the file name in an absolute path.

Enclose the file name with double quotations (") to specify the file name.

Do not insert a space between the terms, namely '-f1' and "Installation Information file name."

When you omit the parameter, the system uses the file named 'setup.iss' in the folder where 'setup.exe' is stored.

Example)

'setup.exe' in 'C:\Windows'

C:\Windows\setup.iss

Notes

  • When you run 'setup.exe' in Execute Silent Installation mode, GUI screens of the setup program do not appear. However, if you chose to display the readme file during the installation in Create Installation Information File mode, the readme file is displayed even when you install the application in Execute Silent Installation mode.

  • You cannot run more than one instance of the above 'setup.exe' at the same time.

  • To change the language used in the setup program during Silent Installation, specify the parameter '-L' when you run 'setup.exe.' You cannot change the language by using the Installation Information file.
