Silent install + options + path?

[erasmion]

Hello and thank you for this amazing program. I guess it's clear in the subject: is there a way to silent install FW choosing custom options (ie. portable) and/or a custom path?

You can use /SILENT argument to install with default path and options. But you can't customize the path & options, because you can't customize them in update too.

Also you can unpack the installer e.g. to current directory by /SILENT /UNPACK=.. And setup a portable installation as you want.

wow, thanks for such a quick reply!

I think that is still a very good working situation, so on a fresh Windows I can have a batch file to:

1 unpack the installer
2 copy the unpacked files to the custom directory
3 make a shortcut link
4 I guess I would also be able to set it as service (like when installing) using the following command (haven't tried yet):

sc.exe create <FortFirewallSvc> binpath= "C:\_SHELLS\FORT FIREWALL\FortFirewall.exe" --service start= auto

[tnodir]

You can use following cmd line arguments of installed FortFiewall.exe:

• -i portable - create README.portable file in app's dir.
• -i service - install a Windows Service
• -i explorer - integrate with Windows Explorer for current user
• -u - uninstall all above options
