You can do a silent installation and provide the required information from an answer file.
Create a file named e-novative.ini in the same directory where the installer exe is. The file should contain: [Answers] InstallationDirectory=c:\Programme\e-novative\WAMP DocumentRoot=c:\www AdminEmail=test@example.com NewDBUsername=db_user NewDBPassword=db_pass NewCCUsername=cc_user NewCCPassword=cc_pass Note that the Answers line is mandatory. When the installation directory contains blanks, you might have to double quote the whole path, I'm not sure about this right now. Same for DocumentRoot, of course. Now, start the installer exe with the /S switch (Note: capital S). Have a cup of coffee and enjoy the result when you get back. We are using this for automated release testing. If you have interesting experiences with silent installs, please share in this forum. Kind regards, e-novative |

This works, thank you.
Is there any way to explicitely specify the complete path and filename of answer file? TIA Gerhard |

| No, you can't. It must be e-novative.ini located in the installer .exe directory. | |

I have just downloaded Wamp5_1.7.0. I am trying to do the silent install as directed by your earlier post. I still get asked questions concerning the install. I have inlcuded the following text file in the directory where the Wamp setup file is located.
The file is named e-novative.ini [Answers] InstallationDirectory=c:\testWAMP DocumentRoot=c:\www AdminEmail=test@example.com NewDBUsername=db_user NewDBPassword=db_pass NewCCUsername=cc_user NewCCPassword=cc_pass What am I doing wrong? There is too much room for pilot error when installing. I want to eliminate this. Thanks |

Hmm, since there is no version 1.7.0 of our WAMP software, I assume you have downloaded another WAMP product, which will naturally not work with an >e-novative> WAMP answer file.
Please download our WAMP version 3 software from http://www.e-novative-wamp.com and retry. |
