/Silent installation but without installing service

[venussoftop]

Hi all

I have tried to look for the installation command line switches but I could not find an option that would install UltraVNC in a /Silent mode but with another switch that say /NoService.

Is this possible? I wanted to auto install UltraVNC along with my other installations but did not want to install it as a service.

Please advise

Kind regards

You'll need a inf-File which you can pass into the installation like this:

Command

Code: Select all

UltraVNC_1.0.8.2_Setup.exe /silent /loadinf=install.inf

install.inf

Code: Select all

[Setup]
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC
Group=UltraVNC
NoIcons=0
SetupType=full
Components=ultravnc_server,ultravnc_viewer
Tasks=installservice,startservice,associate,driver

As you can see, you just need to remove the installservice and startservice from the last line of the file.

Thanks Robert that worked for me. One more question, when the installation is going on it is downloading a few files, are they necessary, can I disable the download as I don't want client interaction in case internet is not present.

Please advise

As far as I know, that's the Mirror Driver, just also remove that one from the line.

Before posting I did remove the word driver from the last time yet it downloads the following:
schook.dll
cad.exe
license.txt
uninstall.bat
uninstall_silent.bat
install.bat
setupdrv.exe
install_silent.bat
mv2.cat
mv2.dll
mv2.inf
mv2.sys
the same lots of many files for XP, W2K and Vista

Thanks and regards

Oh, in that case I'm out of ideas, sorry.

No problem, thanks a lot for you help. I have my stuff configured to now install UltraVNC using the inf file.

so when you got this to work, did u add the install.inf file to the dependencies? cuz i have an ultravnc.inf but in that file it has the loadinf/ install.inf. so do i need to create the install.inf file and include that? howd u do it so it worked passing the servince part?

[mazostyle]

this is what the kbox setup looks like.
i have 5 dependencies:
ultravnc_1.0.8.2_Setup.exe
ultravnc.inf
ultravnc.ini
acl.txt
(added install.inf as well)

Hi mazostyle

I am not sure what you are asking but I resolved by calling the generated setup with command line parameters
INTERNAL_UltraVNC_1.0.8.2_Setup.exe /silent /loadinf=install.inf

Hope this helps.

[mazostyle]

heres my ultravnc.inf file:

UltraVNC_1.0.8.2_Setup.exe /silent /loadinf=install.inf
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC
Group=UltraVNC
NoIcons=0
SetupType=full
Components=ultravnc_server,ultravnc_viewer
Tasks=installmirror

it still installs the service, asking user to proceed, and i can see the mirror drivers being installed, so its not so silent. i didnt have a problem with 1.0.6.5. any ideas?

You'll need a inf-File which you can pass into the installation like this:

Command

Code: Select all

UltraVNC_1.0.8.2_Setup.exe /silent /loadinf=install.inf

install.inf

Code: Select all

[Setup]
Lang=en
Dir=C:\Program Files\UltraVNC
Group=UltraVNC
NoIcons=0
SetupType=full
Components=ultravnc_server,ultravnc_viewer
Tasks=installservice,startservice,associate,driver

As you can see, you just need to remove the installservice and startservice from the last line of the file.

How can I do a "bypass" if the software is already installed?
What command I need to include in the .bat file ?


Thanks.

I can manually delete the service, then i dont get the message during the install. I open cmd.exe and type in "sc delete uvnc_service" Then i push VNC out through my kbox, and it works. I just cant figure out the right way to enter in the script to execute that cmd line. Here's how I have it now:

Launch “SYS\cmd.exe” with params “sc delete uvnc_service”

all it does is freeze. if i remove this parameter, the install completes, but still prompts the user to unistall the service. any ideas??
