About the Inno Setup installer
Inno Setup installers share one set of switches. The uninstaller is usually unins000.exe in the install folder and takes the same silent switches.
| Switch | What it does |
|---|---|
/VERYSILENT | No windows at all. |
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES | Answer message boxes with their default. |
/NORESTART | Do not restart after setup. |
/SP- | Skip the "This will install..." prompt. |
/ALLUSERS | Install for all users, if the setup supports both modes. |
/DIR="path" | Install folder. |
/LOG="C:\Temp\install.log" | Write a log file. |
