Headless installation

Open myCrack opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I was trying to install diskcryptor on remote windows server w/o desktop experience, like this:

> cd /D c:/apps
> curl -LOs https://github.com/DavidXanatos/DiskCryptor/releases/download/v1.2.3/dcrypt_setup_1.2_beta_3_signed.exe
> dcrypt_setup_1.2_beta_3_signed.exe /SP- /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /ALLUSERS /LOG=log /DIR="c:\apps\dcrypt"

But in the end, the software is not installed, and the installer process is still running.

Here is the installation log:

From *.iss file, i figured out how to install it in manual mode - just use dcinst -setup and restart the system. But to do this, first i have to extract the program files from the installer - and to do that i just installed it on a system with desktop experience and then put extracted files to the server.

So, please, either make silent installation to be possible, or include a *.7z archive to the release page.

Cool! Thanks.

I will wait new release, and after that i'll close issue if everything will be as expected.

With 1.3 - the same as before, in the end, the software is not installed, and the installer process is still running. So, #76 is not a solution.

Here is the installation log:
