Commented Unassigned: Silent or unattended installation [25509]

Are there command line parameters I can use to perform a silent or unattended installation of NodeXL? I need to create this within SCCM for distribution, but can't find any help on doing this. running setup with a /? provides some info, but says all other commands will be passed to the installer. I have tried /S, /s, /qn- among others, but I am still getting prompted to do things during the install. I will set this up to install VSTOR seperately so I have greater control of the install process.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

First, I've never tried this, and I don't know if it will work. But here is some information that should help you try it yourself.

The NodeXLExcelTemplate2014Setup.exe program is a "bootstrapper" that performs the following tasks:

1) It installs .NET Framework 4 if it is not already installed.

2) It installs Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime if it is not already installed.

3) It uses a program called VSTOInstaller.exe to install NodeXL itself.

I don't think NodeXLExcelTemplate2014Setup.exe can be run without user interaction, so I recommend discarding that program and performing the three steps yourself.

The prerequisites in steps 1 and 2 may already be installed on your target computers. If they are not, installers for them are available from Microsoft, and I think they can be installed silently.

In step three, the VSTOInstaller.exe program can be found at %commonprogramfiles%\microsoft shared\VSTO\10.0\VSTOInstaller.exe. It's documented here:

And here is what I think is the command line to install NodeXL:

VSTOInstaller.exe /Install http://www.nodexlgraphgallery.org/NodeXLSetup/Smrf.NodeXL.ExcelTemplate.vsto /Silent

Again, I haven't tried this, but if I were to try it, it would definitely be on a disposable virtual machine.

Let me know what happens.
