Setup with parameters through cmd
Is there a way to execute a NSIS Setup per Commandline?
Ok, I'll Specify what I mean

normally you have to choose the installpath, the Setup Type etc in the Setup Dialogs

but is there a way to call the Setup.exe through the commandline like this:
c:\>Setup.exe /c:\Program Files\Folder /normal /no shortcuts

to run the setup Silent, installing on "c:\Program Files\Folder" as a "normal" Setup and creating "no shortcuts"?

Is there a way to realize this, or Do I need a special plugin?

thanks in advance

Hi Davion :)

No plugin is needed for that.. NSIS setups support the silent mode, providing that you do a bit of coding :D

Check these links, everything you need is there:


4.12 Silent Installers/Uninstallers

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.12



B.3 Get command line parameters

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/AppendixB.html#B.3


Example:

Good luck ;)

And this would give me the ability to enter all the needed input in the cmd and run the Setup Silent?

Yes. Follow the links I posted, and read the doc.
