Title: How can I silently install and uninstall Ranger software?
Post by: wcoleman on May 21, 2008, 12:40:00 PM
Silent Install

In order to install Ranger silently, you simply need to tack on a "/S" as a command line parameter when running the installer. The command line parameter is case sensitive, so you will need to make sure that it is an upper-case S.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Installers\RangerInstaller.exe /S

Silent Uninstall

To uninstall silently the same "/S" parameter is used.

  C:\Program Files\Silver Bullet Technology\Ranger\Scanner Plug-ins\Epson-CaptureOne\Uninstaller.exe /S
  ...Wait for uninstall to complete
  C:\Program Files\Silver Bullet Technology\Ranger\Ranger Uninstall.exe /S


Silent install that completes before returning

Please note, sometimes you may need to wait for the uninstall to complete before continuing. To force the uninstaller to wait just add _?=[path to uninstaller] to the command line. Please see example below.

"C:\Program Files\Silver Bullet Technology\Ranger\uninst_SmartSource Professional.exe" /S _?=C:\Program Files\Silver Bullet Technology\Ranger
...The folder that contains the uninstaller may need to be deleted manually after running the uninstaller.

Try using the command below to wait for the Ranger installer to complete before continuing in a script file (".bat").

start "Installing Ranger" /wait "[path to installer]\RangerFor[scanner type].exe" /S
