Hi Catalin,
As we all know, for installer executables(tried for other than AI) there is a feature of getting help.
Help in terms, what commands we can fire on this installer executable.
e.g. sample.exe has no ui command, uninstallation command, install/uninstall command etc.

I need this type of list. That contains what operations we can do using this executables.(using command line).

Thanks,
Balaji

Hello Balaji,

Thank you for your followup on this.

In order to get the list of commands availalbe for the setup.exe, all you need to do is:

- open a command prompt

- run the setup, as it follows:

Code: Select all

setup.exe /?
or

Code: Select all

setup.exe /help
Hope this helps!
