Silent Mode Uninstall
Similar to a silent installation, a response file must be prepared first as follows.
Creating a Response File
The installer response file is created by performing a device driver un-installation with a command
line switch "-r". The response file is automatically named setup_uninstall.iss which is saved in
the \windows folder. If a specific directory is desired, the switch “–f1” is used.
As an example, to save a response file in the same directory as the installation executable of the
Xtium-CLHS PX8, the command line would be:
Xtium-CLHS_PX8_1.00.00.0000 –r –f1”.\setup_uninstall.iss”
Running a Silent Mode Uninstall
Similar to the device driver silent mode installation, the un-installation requires the device driver
executable and the generated response file setup.iss.
Execute the device driver installer with the following command line:
Xtium-CLHS_PX8_1.00.00.0000 -s -f1".\setup_uninstall.iss"
Where the –s switch specifies the silent mode and the –f1 switch specifies the location of the
response file. In this example, the switch –f1".\setup_uninstall.iss" specifies that the
setup_uninstall.iss file be in the same folder as the device driver installer.
Silent Mode Installation Return Code
A silent mode installation creates a file “corinstall.ini” in the Windows directory. A section called
[SetupResult] contains the ‘status’ of the installation. A value of 1 indicates that the installation
has started and a value of 2 indicates that the installation has terminated.
A silent mode installation also creates a log file “setup.log” which by default is created in the same
directory and with the same name (except for the extension) as the response file. The /f2 option
enables you to specify an alternative log file location and file name, as in Setup.exe /s
/f2"C:\Setup.log".
The “setup.log” file contains three sections. The first section, [InstallShield Silent], identifies the
version of InstallShield used in the silent installation. It also identifies the file as a log file. The
second section, [Application], identifies the installed application name, version, and the company
name. The third section, [ResponseResult], contains the ‘ResultCode’ indicating whether the silent
installation succeeded. A value of 0 means the installation was successful.
Installation Setup with CorAppLauncher.exe
The installation setup can be run with the CorAppLauncher.exe tool provided with the driver.
 Install the board driver and get CorAppLauncher.exe from the \bin directory of the installation.
 When running the installation, CorAppLauncher.exe will return only when the installation is
finished.
 When run from within a batch file, obtain the installation exit code from the ERRORLEVEL value.
 The arguments to CorAppLauncher.exe are
-l: Launch application
-f: Application to launch. Specify a fully qualified path.
As an example:
 CorAppLauncher –l –f”c:\driver_install\Xtium-CLHS_PX8_1.00.00.0000.exe”
 IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 goto launch error
