Silent Installer

You can integrate a silent installer for novaPDF Printer in the setup of your application.

There are two installers in the Installer folder:

You have to call the silent installer in your setup process.

Install novaPDF Printer

The silent installers have the following command line parameters:

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed

If a restart is necessary and the /NORESTART command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking.

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

Instructs Setup to suppress message boxes. Only has an effect when combined with /SILENT and /VERYSILENT.

/NOCANCEL

Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with /SILENT or /VERYSILENT.

/NORESTART

Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.

/RESTARTEXITCODE=exit code

Specifies the custom exit code that Setup is to return when a restart is needed. Useful along with '/NORESTART'

/DIR="x:\dirname"

Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.

/GROUP="folder name"

Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.

/LANG="language"

Specifies the language to use for the installation. When a valid /LANG parameter is used, the Select Language dialog will be suppressed.

/Languages="language1-language2-..."

Specifies the languages that will be installed. Use short language codes (like "en-it"). See the complete Language codes list.

/DefaultLang="language"

Specifies the default language. Use short language codes (like "en") or the "REGST" constant for "Use regional settings" option. See the complete Language codes list.

/PrinterName="printer name"

Name of the installed printer. By default the name is "novaPDF Pro v5"

/RegisterName="registration name"

novaPDF Printer registration name

/RegisterKey="license key"

novaPDF Printer Registration key (not the sdk application license key, but the printer license key)

/Default

Instructs setup to set the printer as default printer.

/NoInstallIfExists

Instructs setup to check if novaPDF Professional Desktop printer is already installed, and if it is, does not start the installation

Here is an example of how to call the silent installer:

novapin.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NOCANCEL /NORESTART /PrinterName="novaPDF Pro v5"

Uninstall novaPDF Printer

When installing novaPDF Printer, there will be added a Start Menu folder for the novaPDF Printer. There will be also an menu item for the uninstaller.

If you installed with default directory name, the uninstaller is located at:

"C:\Program Files\Softland\novaPDF Printer Professional Desktop 5\unins000.exe".

The uninstaller has also some parameters for silent uninstall (they have the same meaning as for the installer, see above for details):

/SILENT

/VERYSILENT

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

/NORESTART
