How can I install a Advanced Installer EXE after generation ?

[Mel]

Hi,

I am generating a .EXE and thats fine. But how can I run the .EXE and install by accepting the defaults and simulate clicking on Next-> Next and so on ?

Hello,

The closest I can think of to achieve what you want is our "Run in VM" --> "Automate Install UI" feature.

However, please note that this is intended for single installations, not for chained ones (e.g. if your package has prerequisites).

Hi,

Does this actually spin up a VM , Im already on a VM ?
I have the EXE , all i want to do is install on the current machine by running the EXE?
Can i use a recorded macro instead ?

Hello,

This will indeed launch a VM, yes.

I have the EXE , all i want to do is install on the current machine by running the EXE?

Is there a reason why you do not simply install it manually?

I'm afraid that, besides the "Run in VM" option, we do not have any other feature that could "automate" the install process.
