Simple question
Hi,
What is the best way to create wraper for an installer? For example, I have an working installer (setup.exe) with UI, but I want to create a wraper (named newsetup.exe or similar) that will spawn the installer for silent installation (i.e. setup.exe /v /s).
Thanks,
Peter

Thanks,

If this is a Basic MSI project, can you use the release setting MSI Command Line Arguments (under the Setup.exe tab), entering something like /qb?

Robert,
Thanks for your reply.
I forgot to mention that this is a InstallScript project, so /qb doesn't work for it. BTW, I also tried with a smiple Basic project, with /qb for Setup.exe cmdline, it still pop up couple of dialogs/boxes such as 'After Installation' (from WI I guess), 'Preparing to install' (from InstallShield), etc., so it's not really 'silent'. I want it to be completely UI-less.
Thanks,
Peter

To run an InstallScript installation silently, try the method mentioned in the following help topic:
InstallScript MSI and InstallScript Silent Installations
To run a Basic MSI Setup.exe silently, try something like this:
Setup.exe /s /v"/qn"
The /s part hides the setup launcher's UI (for example, Preparing to Install). The /qn part hides the .msi package's UI (Welcome, ReadyToInstall, etc.).
I hope that helps.
