    SILENT INSTALL - VS2005 SETUP PROJECT???

    Reply Contact

    Does anybody know if there is a way to run a silent install using a VS 2005 Setup Project?  I have an application we want to deploy to around 300 workstations.  This program is build and a setup project has been successfully created.  We have an EXE and MSI file as output.  Are there standard options for generating a silent install?  I ran setup.exe and got no options in the help dialog that was presented.

    You can control the installation using the MSIEXEC executable. Refer to the command line options here. In particular consider using /qb and setting the public options.

    If you need more power, consider using the Windows Installer XML (WiX).

    It looks like the limitation of the tool. See this blog post http://www.developingfor.net/setup-and-deployment/visual-studio-2008-setup-project-frustrations.html
