EXE Bootstrapper Command line help

[prerak6962]

Hello,

My installer supports command line mode of installation along with the GUI.
So is there a way I can provide a help text to the user when he types

Code: Select all

Setup.exe /?

or

Code: Select all

Setup.exe /help

so that he can know what parameters he can pass?

Thank you.

Hello Prerak,

Our EXE builds do have these options enabled by default. Please see the attached screenshot.

For a list of all our EXE bootstrapper proprietary command line switches please take a look on this article :
EXE setup file

Hi Sorin,

When I execute the command

Code: Select all

setup.exe /?

on my EXE from command line, it directly launches the installer GUI. Is there any setting that I need to enable to view the help dialog?
Currently I have "Use Enhanced User Interface" set to "Only on install" under "Themes -> Settings".

Also, in the link that you provided it says,

/? and /help
Both these commands will display a help dialog containing the command line options for the EXE setup.

So, is there a way I can modify the contents of this help dialog? For example providing a short description for each command line option.
My installer accepts the public variables via the command line.

Thank you.

Hello Prerak,

on my EXE from command line, it directly launches the installer GUI.

We are not sure why you encounter this behaviour. Could you please send us a download link of your EXE build which reproduces this issue, along with the .AIP (project) and the installation to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them.

So, is there a way I can modify the contents of this help dialog?

Unfortunately this dialog is not customizable.

Best regards,
