Easy Installer for .NET Program with silent SQL Server installation

[h725]

Hello Community,

I need an installer which installs sql
express server in silent mode as a prerequisite. The
actual exe is written in .NET.

I have found some articles on the net which are dealing with
sql server installation in silent mode:

http://windowsitpro.com/sql-server/perform-silent-install-sql-server
https://www.sqlshack.com/unattended-installation-sql-server/

In the last article it is described how to generate a configurationfile
and run installation from commandprompt:

D:\setup.exe /ConfigurationFile="C:\ConfigurationFile.ini"

Which installer is easy to use and supports the installation of the sql
server in silent mode with the config file?


I tried actualinstaller which seems quite easy to use, but I get no
response from the forum administrator nor the company who sells the product.

Kind regards
h725

For free use INNO. Lots of support.

As far as installing silently, there should be just some command line switches. Run the setup with a -help or /? or something like that. You will see a list of commands. Most Microsoft installers support the /s /passive Those switches should give you silent.
