There are two installers nested within the Flex Builder win installers, so they must be run in series for a silent operation: first the metainstaller, and then the individual installer (either standalone or plugin).
** One easy way to install silently is with a batchfile, as shown in the example below.
Create a properties file for each installer
** For a standalone installation the properties file must be named standalone.properties
** For a plugin installation the properties file must be named plugin.properties
** To run a standalone installation using the batchfile attached, place the file standalone.properties in the same folder with the batchfile and the installer
The simple properties file example:
INSTALLER_UI=silent
USER_INSTALL_DIR=c:$/$fb2
# Player installer choices
INSTALL_FLASH85_OCX=1
INSTALL_NETSCAPE_PLUGIN=1
Sample batch file for silent installation
REM Place this batchfile in the same folder with the PFTW installer.
@echo off
mkdir %TMP%
mkdir %TMP%\installprops
REM
REM Extract the FB archive - match the exe filename below with the actual installer
FLXB_2.0_Win_WWE.exe /s /f%TMP% /a -i silent
Running the batchfile
** Make sure the batchfile is in the same folder as the FB installer, along with the properties file you created earlier
** Simply double-click the batchfile to run it
** Alternatively, you can open a cmd window to the folder that contains the batchfile, and run it by typing "silent" to invoke it
** Idiosyncrasies:
o The batchfile will appear as if it is complete before the installer is really finished
o You'll know the silent install has really completed when the ColdFusion folder opens at the end.
The switches below are specifically for use with Package from the Web download:
/s tells FB to run silently
/f tells FB where to unpack its archive
/a allows FB to pass arguments to the next installer in the series: the InstallAnywhere metainstaller.
The next set of args are aimed at InstallAnywhere:
-i silent tells InstallAnywhere to run silently, resulting in the default Standalone installation selection in the metainstaler.
