Can I set install prerequisites with silent mode or not that same as msi installation command line setting

[Justin]

Hi,
As title, I have a dot net framework 4.8 as prerequisites for post-install and package to msi file.
Can I using the silent parameter of command line to install package that same apply to install prerequisites?

Thanks!!
Best Regards,

Hello Justin,

I'm not quite sure I fully understand this.

Do you want to silently install the prerequisite when the main package is also silently installed?

If so, please note that this is already the predefined support.

If your main package is installed silently, then the Silent (no UI) command line field is used for the prerequisite.

Each command is used by your prerequisite based on the UI level of the main package, i.e., if the main package runs with full UI the command from the "Full UI" field will be used to call the prerequisite, the same for the rest. This way you can have different command lines for each UI level.

Hi Liviu,
I need when I install msi package with silent then the prerequisites will silent to install and install msi package without silent then the prerequisites will not in silent mode to install. It means when I set the UI level for msi package installation will passthrough the same setting to prerequisites installation.
By the way the prerequisites to install is Dot net framework 4.8.
Is there any way to do it?

I asked this is because the result that I test is whatever I set the ui level for msi package installation will not affect the silent setting in setup files page of prerequisites.

Thanks!

Hello Justin

As I can see, you sent an email and my colleague Dan has replied to you over the email.

Please continue the conversation over the email to avoid duplicate threads.

By the way the prerequisites to install is Dot net framework 4.8.

As a side note, it does not matter what prerequisite you have, I just tested the ".NET Core Runtime" on my end. You need to pass the appropriate command line arguments for your prerequisite (on the Silent field).

Hi Liviu,
Sorry for the inconveniece. You mean I can pass the appropriate command line arguments to the prerequisite. Could you help me how to do that and how to set the commandline arguments in default? Thanks!!

Thanks!
