Silent Installation help
Hi,
I am new to InstallAnywhere. I have created a custom code panel .In the OkToContinue(), I validate the inputs of the panel. My observation is that in case of silent installation, this block of code is not getting called. Is that I have to handle validation for silent installation separately or is there any way I can handle both at a same place? In case of UI installation, I need the validation should happen as soon as user tries to move to the next screen.
Thanks

In silent mode panels and consoles are skipped, so you need to have the input either validated or redo validation in silent mode.

Silent installation is installation without user intervention .
By installing it through cmd line wih /s option eg:
c:\xyz.exe /s, where xyz.exe is the installer setup.
Inorder to achieve silent installtion , installer requires a response file which is a .iss file (it is similar to .ini file).
How to create a response file : Creating response file means recording the steps of the installation.
In the command line you need to execute installer setup as :
c:\xyx.exe /r ,
you need to install it in normal fashion, each step that you do will get recorded in a response file(once recording is done you will find response file in c:\windows\setup.iss(default location)) .
Now include this setup.iss file in Behavior and Logic >Support Files/Billboards >Advace Files>Disk1 . Build the installer once again .
Run your installer on command line with /s option as: c:\xyz.exe /s
You can check the status of silent installation in task manger.
I hope this will give you a optimised way of doing silent installation 🙂
