Knowledgebase Tips and How-to Articles for ApexSQL Tools How to integrate ApexSQL Log API components into custom installer Applies to ApexSQL Log API Description This article describes solutions for integrating ApexSQL Log API components into custom installer Solution ApexSQL Log API components can be integrated into custom installer by running original ApexSQL Log API setup with the INNO setup switches for silent mode installation. To use the silent mode installation, use ApexSQL Log API setup with the following switches: /VERYSILENT – this suppresses all installation wizard dialogs /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES – this suppresses all messages from the installer /LOADINF="filename" – this will load the previously saved installer settings (such as the installation directory, shortcuts and so forth…) /SAVEINF="filename" – this will save all of your choices during an “ideal” installation (these choices will then be used in LOADINF switch) 1. Start ApexSQL Log API installer with saveinf switch from the command prompt (ApexSQLLogApi.exe /saveinf="logapi.inf"), make all necessary choices and finish the installation. This will save all your preferences to the .inf file in the following format: [Setup] Lang=eng Dir=C:\Program Files\ApexSQL\ApexSQLLogApi2010 Group=ApexSQL\ApexSQL Log API 2010 NoIcons=0 SetupType=full Components=client_side,server_side Tasks= 2. Add this call to the custom setup step to run original ApexSQL Log API installer with the .inf file created in previous step and the following switches: ApexSQLLogApi.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /LOADINF =" logapi.inf" Last update December 26, 2011 Labels: ApexSQL Log API |
