InstallShield (setup.exe) options
Like the Microsoft Installer Service (msiexec.exe), the InstallShield Setup program (setup.exe) can accept a
number of command line options and can pass options through setup.exe to the included .msi file.
All setup.exe command-line options must be prefaced with a forward slash (/) only.
All options are documented in the InstallShield documentation:
http://helpnet.installshield.com/robo/projects/helplibdevstudio9/IHelpSetup_EXECmdLine.htm
The following are the most useful command line options for installing DSC:
Option Description
/v
Passes command line and public properties options to the Windows Installer
(msiexec.exe) installation.
If you run setup.exe (rather than msiexec.exe) to install DSC, you can specify any
Windows Installer command line options using the "/v" option.
For example, for MSI quiet mode, you'll need to run setup.exe /v/qn. To set the public
property of XYZ to "ABC", you would run setup.exe /v"XYZ=ABC".
/s
Formerly "noui"
Runs setup in a "silent" mode, suppressing the initialization window. However, unless
the MSI installation is also specified as silent, the MSI installation will run normally.
In order to run both setup.exe and msiexec.exe silently, you will need to combine the /s
and the /v options. Use the following command line: setup.exe /s /v/qn.
Using these options, no dialogs of any kind will be displayed during installation or
uninstallation. All messages are suppressed or, if a log file is also specified, sent to the
MSI log file in the user-specified temp directory.
The "noui" command line flag is no longer supported.
/L (followed by the
Windows Language
Code)
For Multi-lingual installations, specifies the language to use for installation and bypassed
the "Choose Installation Language" dialog box.
For example to launch the installation in French, the command line would be setup.exe
/l1036.
Extracting msi files from single-file installation executables (setup.exe files)
The following options are designed to extract .msi/.mst files from Windows Installer-oriented setup.exe
distribuitions. These options will not install any files; they will only extract an installable set of files into a specified
