Title: Command Line Silent Install
Post by: J on 2017-05-30, 09:09:47

Currently, the corona installer allows you to extract all files that would be installed so that you can create your own batch script for installation.

This is quite annoying as I need to basically install via GUI on one machine and then make sure my batch file mirrors the behavior of the installer with each new release.
I've only been using corona for the last few versions but each one has had something new / different

Ideally, the installer could be called from the command line passing /silent or something and just do the "typical" install as per GUI, and uninstall old versions as needed.

Thanks

Hi Ondra & Ryuu,

Have there been any new developments on this feature? We would also find it a big time saver to install corona on all our machines this way.

Thanks

This is already implemented in the latest daily build - https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=17972.msg120416#msg120416 (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?topic=17972.msg120416#msg120416)

I still don't consider this feature fully finished since there are some usability issues - for example you have to run the silent (un)installer from an elevated (admin) console, otherwise you'll get UAC popup window asking you to grant the application admin privileges. I'm still working on that and hopefully it will be finished within few days.

this is great news! running in an elevated console is something I can work with.

Thanks!
