Silent Install / Answer file
Hi list,

I want to run my NSIS installations silently for testing purposes (for automated testing). If the setup asks the user to make a choice, how will the silent installation behave then? Is the default selection used and/or is there a possiblity to specify an "answer file" like you can do with InstallShield?

Thanks for the help,

Steve

For now, when using silent install all of the sections get executed. I am going to upload a new version to CVS soon that will allow you to change this using SectionSetFlags.

If you want an answer file you will have to make one yourself, and read it with the installer.

Latest CVS version now allows you to deselect sections using SectionSetFlags even in silent mode. By default all sections are selected.
