Identifying Vendor Command Line Arguments
AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager
Edition:Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
AdminStudio provides command line arguments for silent installation and uninstallation while importing any exe package into the Application Catalog. You can also modify the suggested command line arguments.
While importing, the default command line arguments are fetched for the supported exe packages. The Install Command Line and Uninstall Command Line switches are updated in the Deployment Data > Programs tab. When a package is updated from a previous version of AdminStudio, there is a menu option, “Command line update” to update the command line arguments.
You will be notified whether the default command line arguments are fetched or not through the import logs.
Some of the exe package types require the uninstaller for uninstallation. There are different types that require uninstallers. They are given below:
| 1. | InstallAnywhere |
| 2. | WiseScript |
| 3. | NullSoft |
| 4. | InnoSetup |
