Windows deployment of Nextcloud 2.6.5 via .bat file

🚧 Installation
1

Hello Nextcloud Community,

I want to deploy the Nextcloud-2.6.5-setup.exe silently via a Batch file. But it doesn’t metter which switches i try, nothing wants to work.

I tried:
C:\Users\testuser\Desktop\Nextcloud-2.6.5-setup.exe /verysilent
C:\Users\testuser\Desktop\Nextcloud-2.6.5-setup.exe /silent
C:\Users\testuser\Desktop\Nextcloud-2.6.5-setup.exe /s
C:\Users\testuser\Desktop\Nextcloud-2.6.5-setup.exe /q
C:\Users\testuser\Desktop\Nextcloud-2.6.5-setup.exe /quiet

The silent switch /s works for Nextcloud 2.3.3.1, but I cant get it running on the current verison.
Can you might help?

Thanks,
Zeppo

Glad that helped.
This installer for Windows is using NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System).
The Desktop dev can explain more what the underlying decisions are for using this installer framework. Every framework has it’s up and down sides :wink:

There aren’t many options available in NSIS, but they are described in the documentation:
https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/Chapter3.html#installerusage
