JBond Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hey Together! I want to install FreeMind: http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page via AutoIt. How can I find parameters for this FreeMind.exe? Untill now I just found "/VERYSILENT" for a silent installation. Example: ShellExecuteWait(@TempDir & "\InstallFreeMind\FreeMind-Windows-Installer-0.9.0-max.exe", " /VERYSILENT") Currently I'm searching for an option to not install the desktop icon?

JohnOne Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Generally, one would execute it from command line with /? switch. Other than that, the programs webpage or author is your best bet.

abberration Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 /Verysilent is an Inno Setup switch, so the installer was created with Inno. Another switch is /Silent, which shows a progress bar while installing. Inno does not offer any switches to not install the icon. That is determined by the script that the developer wrote. You have some options, however. You can decompile the installer, modify the script, and recompile it. Or you can use Autoit to install it silently and afterwards, delete the icon. It would look something like: FileDelete(@DesktopDir & "The Icon Name.exe.lnk") Make sure you use the .lnk extension, which is used for shortcuts.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted June 25, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2012 From the FreeMind documentation, these are the only switches it supports. /sp-, /silent, /verysilent, /norestart "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

JBond Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thank you guys @abberration: How can I decompile this executable? With the inno setup: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php ? How can I find out at all, how exe-files are compiled, if I don't know which method was used for compiling? @JLogan3o13: Thanks. Where did you find the documentation? http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Here I just found the "freemind documentation", but no information about install switches?
