Hi Prakash,
You can do this, but not directly. To use a custom install location during silent installation, you'll need to modify the
szDir parameter value in the Setup.iss file.
The Setup.iss file is an INI file, and the
szDir parameter is specified in two places, like this:
[{CE870E82-8997-41ED-B082-160FA68989B2}-SdAskDestPath-0]
szDir=C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestComplete 8
...
[{CE870E82-8997-41ED-B082-160FA68989B2}-SdComponentTree-0]
szDir=C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestComplete 8\In other words, for your scenario you can create a wrapper batch file or script that would perform the following sequence of actions:
- ask the user for the TestComplete/TestExecute install location,
- modify the
szDir value in the Setup.iss file appropriately (for examples, search [url=
http://www.google.com/search?q=batch+modify+ini]batch modify ini[/url] or
vbscript modify ini or similar),
- run the silent installation using the modified Setup.iss file.
Hope this helps!
