Install boost binaries non-interactively


Is there any way of installing the Boost pre-compiled binaries non-interactively from the command line?

Purpose is for automation of installing Boost onto Windows machines, but compiling from source takes a really long time.


Solution

  • Setup executables have command line switches /SP-, /SILENT, /VERYSILENT, that disable installation messages.

    /NOCANCEL is also worthy to note.

    Run them with /? to get full list of supported options.
