I need to write code to download and run a program, e.g. notepad++ (npp.5.9.3.Installer.exe) this can be found on the web. I run it with the ProcessStartInfo class. However when I normally execute the notepad++ installer, it will show me a few steps before actually installing, like choose language, path etc.
Is there any way to programatically skip these steps, and install the software? I hope my question is clear. If it helps, I also attach the method that so far only starts the installer
private int RunFile()
{
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(GetFileFullPath());
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
psi.CreateNoWindow = true;
using (Process process = Process.Start(psi))
{
process.WaitForExit();
if (process.HasExited)
return process.ExitCode;
}
}
Shall I pass some arguments for this to work? Thank you in advance.
Regards,
There are some installers which supports -s or -silent switches which means that when you install a software by passing -s switch to installer and it will silently install with default options. Try to find out whether your installer supports that or not
