Silent Installation from a single file install

Here are the step-by-step instructions for silently installing a Rocscience product:

1. Copy the setup.iss needed into an easy path, example: c:\ install
2. Download the executable file (.exe) for the product from our website:
https://www.rocscience.com/support/program-downloads
3. Place the downloaded executable file in the same folder containing the setup.iss file.
4. Launch a command prompt with administrator privileges. To do so, go to the Start menu, search for
command prompt, right-click on the Command Prompt program and click on “Run as Administrator”.
5. Change directory to the folder containing the installation program and the setup.iss response file created
in step 1.
6. The command to run next, should look like the one below:

<Installprogram.exe> /s /a /s /f1”absolute path to setup.iss file”

If for example, you downloaded a Slide2 installation file (step 2) named sl9016j02s.exe and placed it with
the setup.iss file (step 3), in a folder called “Rocscience” in the root c: drive the command would be:

sl9016j02s.exe /s /a /s /f1”c:\Rocscience\setup.iss”

Note: The command above contains spaces, please make sure to include them.

This runs the sl9016j02s.exe installation file in silent mode using a file in the install folder called setup.iss.
This is an Installshield response file that is used during the install process.

7. You can monitor the progress through the task manager, there should be a process running with the
name of the installation program (i.e., sl9016j02s.exe).
