The silent installation of QL player enables passing command line arguments to fill required parameters for automatic registration of the product.
No message box is displayed, error messages are logged in the installation log file.
Installshield has its own use of command line arguments and exit codes that cannot be overridden, therefore there are some restrictions about how we can use silent mode:
1/ The installer must come with an "Installshield response file" named "setup.iss" and the command line must include a reference to this file : -f1".\setup.iss". You can download this file here
2/ The argument to indicate silent mode can only be : -s (and not --s or --silent).
3/ All custom arguments are preceded by a double dash.
4/ Installshield returns its own exit code (https://docs.revenera.com/installanywhere2021/Content/helplibrary/ia_ts_exit_codes_install.htm) thus Navori custom exit code is return in the last line of the installation log file : ExitCode=0.
Command line arguments :
-s : silent mode.
--accept : acceptance of the license terms.
--l or --license : QL license key.
--pn or --playername : set the player name on QL server.
--se --server : server url.
--log : the path\filename of the installation log file. If only the file's name is provided, the file is created inside the installation folder. The default value is "installation.log".
example of command line:
NavoriQLPlayer_Setup.exe -f1".\setup.iss" --accept -s --license "00000-00000-00000-00000-00000-00000-00000" --server "https://my.server.com" --PlayerName "QL test player" --log "C:\Program Files (x86)\Navori\installation_log_file.log"
