silent installeroptions

Hi,

I am looking to silently install a custom software app that was packaged with NSIS.
I was able to do a silent installation using the /S option, however by default the installer does not install some of the advanced features that I need. So I am wondering if there is a way to supply the installation option when using the silent installer switch.

Thanks

NSIS only supports /S and /D= by default.

If the installer uses "Memento" you could trick it with fake registry entries, otherwise you have to ask the installer author.

Anders,

Thanks for getting back. How can I tell if the installer is using Memento? In case it does, are the tricking methods posted somewhere ?

Edit: found a few references to Memento here

Memento writes the chosen Sections(Components) to the registry. If you run the installer again after installing, the same components should be selected. If not, it is not using Memento.

Are you saying if I can capture the reg value being changed during the install process using promon I can push the reg settings to all systems before running the installer silently and have all the features I need selected?

See if it writes the "MementoSectionUsed" value to determine if Memento is used.

here is the installer

dont think it does, at least filtering the events for Path contains NSIS shows no results

I said "MementoSectionUsed".

Either way, contacting the author is the best option.
