Advanced Installation

Silent Install

A silent install means Debt Analyzer will be installed without the user having to answer any questions during the installation process. This is useful for installing Debt Analyzer from within another setup program or when installing from a server on a network.

Note: The Debt Analyzer installation file may be named setup.exe or debtsetup.exe depending on the origin of the file. In the examples shown, substitute the actual name of the Debt Analyzer installation file. If the installation file was downloaded in zip format, first unzip setup.exe or debtsetup.exe from the .zip file before running a Silent Install.

Installation Options

The Debt Analyzer install program provides command line options to automatically respond to the install questions during the installation process. Control things such as where to install the program or the name of the Start Menu Folder.

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

Instructs the setup program to be silent or very silent. When the setup is Silent, the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is displayed. When the setup is Very Silent, the installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal. So, for example, error messages during installation are displayed.

If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and the setup is Silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's Very Silent it will reboot without asking.

The Debt Analyzer program will not be loaded and the Quick Start Guide will not be displayed at the end of the install if either of these Silent Install options are used.

/NOCANCEL

Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful with the '/SILENT' or '/VERYSILENT' options.

/NORESTART

Instructs the setup program to not reboot even if it's necessary.

/DIR="c:\myprograms\DebtAnalyzer”

Used to override the default installation folder. If included, Debt Analyzer will be installed in the folder specified.

/GROUP="folder name"

Used to override the default start menu used to load Debt Analyzer. If included, the menus to start Debt Analyzer will be placed in the folder specified here.

/NOICONS

Instructs Setup to initially check the Don't create any icons check box on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.

Example Silent Install with Options

You may combine the Silent Install and other Installation Options listed above. This example causes Debt Analyzer to install in the 'c:\MyPrograms\Debt Analyzer' folder. The start menu item is listed as ‘Debt Analyzer 4’. Debt Analyzer will not run at the end of the install. The Quick Start Guide will not be displayed at the end of the install.
