Silent Installation Of Genie Framework - Dalsa Genie HM640 User Manual

Silent Installation of Genie Framework

The Genie 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 executable file name for Framework version 1.40, the command line is:
"Genie_1.40.00.0222 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 (using version 1.30 as an example):
"Genie_1.40.00.0222 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.
