silent install

Hi,
I have created a install package with custom actions. This package is supposed to be executed with in another installer and is not expected to show any info on the screen while installing. I selected the minimal UI option but with this option, atlease one screen with progress bar and the cancel button are shown. How do I suppress the UI altogether?

Hi,

If you run the install package from another package, the only way to do that is using it as a prerequisite.

If you do that, you can specify in the "Edit Prerequisite" dialog, in the "Command Line" field the "/qn" option. This ensures that no UI will be displayed for that prerequisite.

Also, in the "Prerequisites" tab, check the "Silent install of prerequisites" option.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mihai
