Automating the installation of CoppeliaSim

[edujon]

I am currently working on deploying the CoppeliaSim Edu software to a classroom for students to learn. As part of this process I am working to automate the software but documentation on this topic for this program is scarce at best.

So far here is what I learned.

To install the program the following command works but there is no way to suppress the windows that show the progress:
CoppeliaSim_Edu_V4_0_0_Setup.exe /silent

To uninstall the program the following command works but requires clicking yes to approve the removal of the software:
"C:\Program Files\CoppeliaRobotics\CoppeliaSimEdu\CoppeliaSim_Edu_V4_0_0_Setup_24170.exe" /silent

I have automated quite a few exe files and none of the standard groups of commands/parameters work and the help options (/help or /?) don't even exist for this program.

Is there a way to fix these issues that I am missing? Any help is appreciated.

Hello,

yes, this is correct, the installer we currently use (QSetup) seems to not correctly handle the /silent or /hide directives. We'll probably switch to something else very soon.
In the mean time you can always use the install-less packages, also available here.

Cheers
