Silent installations yes or at least it used to... I haven't tried recently because any user running the bootstrapper is doing so interactively and wants feedback on the process. Advanced users who want a fully silent installation handle the prerequisites for themselves, then trigger our main MSI.
Understanding product and package codes... I'm sure it could, but I don't believe there is any native support for that. For the items I need to include in our bootstrapper, the presence of a supported version can typically be detected by examining the Windows registry. Both NSIS and InnoSetup belong to the older type of installation solution - procedural via a scripting language rather than data driven. As such you are able to do a lot of things that you really shouldn't! The *only* thing I use it for is the installation of third party dependencies. All other operations are handled in our product's MSI. Hope this helps, Regards, Richard On Wed, 2007-10-17 at 07:05 -0700, Christopher Painter wrote: > Can it handle silent installation stories and understand ProductCodes, > PackageCodes to do things like invoke first time install, minor > upgrades and maintenance UI stories? > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Nick, > > I've had good success using NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net) > to create > my bootstrapper.
