Silent Installation of Genie TS Framework
The Genie TS Framework installation can be integrated within a developer's installation procedure.
The silent installation mode allows the Genie Framework installation to proceed without the need
for mouse clicks from a user.
Two steps are required:
Preparation of a response file to emulate a user.
Invoking the Genie Framework installer with command options to use the prepared response
file.
Creating the Response File
An installer response file is created by performing a Genie Framework installation with the
command line switch "-r". The response file is automatically named setup.iss which is saved in the
\windows folder. One simple method is to execute the Framework installer from within a batch file.
The batch file will have one command line.
As an example, using the possible executable file name for the Framework, the command line is:
"Genie_TS_1.00.00.0000 Release.exe" –r
Important: The executable name is enclosed in quotation marks. This is required because of the
space characters in the Genie Framework file name.
Running a Silent Mode Installation
A Genie Framework silent installation, whether done alone or within a larger software installation
requires the Genie Framework executable and the generated response file setup.iss.
Execute the Framework installer with the following command line:
"Genie_TS_1.00.00.0000 Release.exe" -s -f1".\setup.iss"
where in this example, the switch –f1".\setup.iss" specifies that the setup.iss file is in the same
folder as the Framework installer.
