Silent Installation
Silent installers are specifically engineered to operate without requiring any user interaction or graphical interface prompts. It is a "hands-off" approach that brings a range of benefits to the deployment of the Spinnaker SDK:
• Optimised Deployment:
In scenarios where the SDK needs to be installed on a large number of machines or integrated into automated setup processes, silent installation dramatically reduces the time and effort required. It eliminates the need for manual input on each target machine, resulting in faster and more efficient deployment.
• Error Mitigation:
Human error is a common risk during manual installations. With silent installers, the possibility of incorrect inputs, skipped steps, or other user-induced issues is virtually eliminated. This leads to a more reliable and consistent deployment experience.
• Tailored Installations:
Silent installers offer flexibility through configuration options. Developers can customise the installation process by specifying parameters such as the installation directory, the selection of specific components, and other relevant settings. This allows for tailored installations that meet the unique requirements of different systems or use cases.
Technical Details
The silent installer included in the Spinnaker SDK is in line with industry best practices and uses command-line parameters to oversee the installation procedure.
Command-Line Parameters (Examples)
• /install /silent: Activates silent installation mode.
• /uninstall /silent: Activates silent uninstaller mode
Example Usage:
Command line:
SpinnakerSDK_FULL_4.0.0.116_x64.exe /install /silent Features=Runtimes_v140, GigEDrivers
