ICP installer args

[hurst]

I have embedded ICP22.exe (IVI Compliance Package) installer into another installer. Since the main installer already makes the decision as to whether or not to install the IVI Compliance Package, I would like to run the ICP22.exe installer with minimal user intervention. Are there any arguments for the ICP22.exe installer that can install the software and reduce operator intervention (default settings are ok)?

Hi Hurst,

I wasn't able to find any command line shortcuts for ICP22.exe, however when I extracted the files to a folder (using winzip), I found that you can run the setup.exe file from the command prompt, followed by a "/q" and it will perform a silent install.  For more a detailed explanation of different options you have to perform a silent install, check out the following KB: Silent Installation of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. 

In addition to command line arguments for the installation, you should also be able to modify the setup.ini file to specify which compnents you want to install - once again you would need to extract the ICP22.exe files before being able to do this.  For an example of how you might go about doing this check out the following KB: Creating a Silent Customized Installer for NI-DAQmx.

Please note that the two KBs linked here are for installers other than ICP, so you will need to glean from them the most important aspects of silent installers.  Hopefully this information helps!
