automation - automate, unattended or silent installation of a software -


i have software. has gui setup windows , cli install.sh linux. on execution asks user accept license , on acceptance asks installation location, key, server ip, port, , couple more option 1 after other. want make installation unattended user double click file , next step software installed. suggestions, in advance.

the answer depends on installshield project type using. highly suggest basic msi. installscript custom actions ok don't use installscript or installscript msi project type.

assuming above, create secure custom public properties can passed @ command line. create custom dialogs values can entered during interactive installation. create validation custom actions can guard against bad data in both scenarios. use properties in registry, ini, xml et al system changes can applied needed application.

your silent install looks like:

msiexec /i foo.msi /qn installdir=c:\foo key=12345 serverip=10.0.0.1 port=12345 /l*v install.log

also sure understand concept properties aren't persisted automatically msi. you'll need appsearch/system searches retrieve stored values reuse during upgrade / patch / repair scenarios.
