Unattened intallation of Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

Question

Hi

I'm trying to create an INI file for use in an unattended installation. I'm tried using various combinations of the 'createunattended' switch.

setup /createunattendfile C:\temp\vs2008_install.ini

and

setup /createunattend C:\temp\vs2008_install.ini

This launches the installer. Then, selecting a custom install, the VS installer just continues onto the attended install without creating the INI file. Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

OK got it. The setup executable that needs to be run is under the setup directory, and not the setup executable in the root directory of installation disk.

eg: setup/setup.exe /createunattend C:\temp\vs2008_unattended.ini
