JWS silent installation
According to the Nullsoft Installer's (the JWS installer) manual there is a /D=<dir> command line parameter to specifiy the installation directory.
Was anybody successful to utilize this option for a silent install ? I wasn't (I tried the parameter, it did not work, JWS installation always defaults to C:\Program Files). Is there perhaps something in the NSIS-script, which prevents using this parameter (something only the author of the install script of the JWS team could answer ?).
Kind regards

(P.S.: I tried to post this topic to the Nullsoft Newsgroup, but somehow their administrators still do not let me allo to post a topic. So I would be glad if somebody could give some comments on this issue in this forum.)

Hi,
I guess they best solution for everybody is to recreate a new NSIS script. I invite you to post it here or send it to me directly at vamp201@yahoo.com
I will add it to the Unofficicial JNLP/Web Start FAQ and readers can resolve any issues that remain for everyone's benefit.

Probably the best solution, since the JWS team seems not willing to publish their script. However, I do not have time to get into learning the NSIS scripting language. I hope that anybody else has time to spend the effort.Thomas GldenThomas.Guelden@gla.bayern.de

Did anybody ever resolve this issue? Or is it just impossible to provide an installation folder name in a silent install.
The installation was created by NullSoft 1.0j.
The command line I used is:
javaws-1_0_1_02-win-int-rt.exe /S /D=C:\gers\JWS_1-0-1_0
This successfully runs a silent install, but does not honore the '/D path for the install dir.
In the Sun documentation, the only advertised option is "-s" for a silent install.
Is it possible to specify the installation directory as well?
