Silent installs or how to create the necessary msi files

[rick55]

brand new to msi exec world but I’m intrigued by the unattended install for duplicati. I’ve looked around the forum, how-to’s, and installation and I see references to msiexec and filename.msi but I don’t have the background necessary to figure that out.

Is there a tutorial on how to make a duplicati.msi file that can be silently installed? And if that exists, is there a way to modify source and destination fields?

Thanks
Rick

Are you sure you need that? Could you test some msiexec options such as /quiet?
Unattended silent installation in Windows used a different option. There are a bunch.

You want to hardcode that in the .msi (not that I know how)? How about job import?
Duplicati.CommandLine.ConfigurationImporter.exe should be able to do that.
