Supressing language selection for silent install
Hi, I'm new to the NSIS format for installs.

I've been asked to script an install using existing setup files etc from a 3rd party. As part of this i'd like to install a NSIS setup silently.

If i run as "installer.exe /S" the installer seems to run silently but i still get prompted to select a language by a drop down box.

Can this be supressed?? I'm after a complete silent solution for rollout.

Use:
${Unless} ${Silent}
...
${EndUnless}

Or:
IfSilent SkipLanguage
...
SkipLanguage:

I'm guessing that would be script if i were doing the development??

I'm only using the provided setup.exe for the application i've been given. I cannot edit the setup.exe only run it.

Is there a way to supress the lanugage prompt via something like an answer files or command line argument??

thanks

The default language selection dialog is suppressed for silent installations. If passing /S doesn't hide it, you're dealing with a custom dialog which requires custom handling. You should contact the installer's author for details on how to hide his language selection dialog.
