Standalone Installation Excel Add in

Is it possible to install the excel add in via silent installation? Means u start a prompt with the needed parameters and everything will be installed without popping up any dialogues.
Thx for the help

RE: Standalone Installation Excel Add in

Hello zimmerml,

The installation was build with Inno setup, which can be run in silent
mode, like for example in cmd

"setup.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-"

For more details please visit the Inno Setup website.

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

thanks for ur answer. I checked the inno website but the problem is that I would like to install only the excel client without the palo server. The parameters of Inno allow "/COMPONENTS="..." but I don't have information about the names of the specific components (client). Do you have any information about that?

Another problem is that setup is automatically executing the patches from Microsoft which have pop-up windows (/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES don't help). Is it possible to avoid to install these patches?

Last but not least setup is executing activator.exe, also including pop-up windows. Is it possible to load activtor seperately and in silent-mode?

Thanks a lot

Stephanie

Hello zimmerml,

We will work on a "verysilent" setup so it that feature will be available in
one of the next releases. This component feature will be available later
too.

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

thanks again for your answer. To install only the client excel-addin could it be possible to copy the directory of palo and to register the addin? My problem is that I don't know how to register the addin, because I suppose that some dlls have to be registered or? I would appreciate if you can give any information about that...

Thanks a lot

Stephanie

Hello zimmerml,

Please wait for the component feature in one of the next Palo versions to be able
to install the client only in a silent setup. In the normal installation process you are
able to install the addin only.

Regards,
Stephanie
