From the v9.0.4 release of HelpMaster, the installation package has been updated to better support command line installation.

Here's a page lifted from the helpfile that explains the settings.  For further information about this technology, please refer to the Microsoft website listed below.

MSI switches

The HelpMaster installation package uses Microsoft Windows Installer technology.  This means that it can be installed via a command line interface by using the Microsoft MSIEXEC tool.

The following values can be used for the INSTALLLEVEL property.

 

Install Level HelpMaster component
   
1 Core Components
10 Desktop
20 Database Wizard
30 Email Manager
35 Email Manager_Service
40 Priority Manager
45 Priority Manager_Service
50 Active Directory
55 Active Directory_Service
60 Web Interface

 

MSI documentation and switches can be found at the Microsoft MSDN website here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988(VS.85).aspx

Examples

 

Silently install just the Desktop components

msiexec /i c:\hmpsuitsetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=10 /q

 

Silently install everything

msiexec /i c:\hmpsuitsetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=60 /q
