Is it possible to install your setup silent and/or unattended (i.e. without any user-interaction)?

I want to package it inside an NSIS setup and keep the UI consistent for the end-user.

Hi there.

Yes, absolutely. Our installer is MSI-based, so standard MSIEXEC.EXE command line switches apply to our installation, making it possible to do quiet and silent installs. By default, our prerequisite packages for InstallShield, SuperInstaller and Visual Studio Setup & Deployment project are done in quiet mode, which we recommend for all bundled installation. Quiet mode shows only progress bar and the product name, insuring better customer experience.

Please let us know if this information was helpful.

So i figured out to do e.g. this to install:

"C:\MyPath\UltiDev Web Server Setup.exe" /passive

Unfortunately I found no easy way to uninstall the same way.

I only found this way in your shortcut:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\UltiDev\Web Server\UWS.Explorer.exe" /uninstall

Running this, it shows me a warning about the sites that stop working.

This would hinder me from uninstalling within my NSIS setup.

My question:

Is there a way to quitely and/or passively uninstall?

Hi!

We do not recommend initiating UWS uninstallation from application's uninstaller, because you can't be sure either that your UWS app was the first one on the system (i.e. that UWS wasn't there before you), or that it is the last one and UWS is not needed anymore. In other words, your attempt to uninstall UWS may disrupt other UWS apps that were installed before or after yours. So we simply do not recommend this for open systems.

If you somehow can ensure that your app is the only one registered with UWS, simply uninstall your app first (and unregister with UWS), and you won't get the warning when you are uninstalling the UWS.

UltiDev Team.

We also recommend using the MSI version of our installer rather than an EXE, when shipping UWS as a redistributable application prerequisite. You can find it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\UltiDev\Web Server\Redist\Visual Studio" folder after UWS is installed.
