PureBasic setup with commandline options

[helpy]

Hello Fred,

Does the PureBasic setup have commandline options?

I want to install the Windows-Version (x86/x64 and german/english) with the following options:
- installation directory
- german or english help
- no desktop symbol
- no start menu entry
- do not start purebasic after setup

thank you,
guido

PB uses innosetup, so may be you can give it a try to that:

Good to know.
Could I use one of these cmds to overwrite the preferences files?
Example:
Is there a cmdline option to force PureBasic_Windows_5.11_beta_1_x64_(xxxxxx).exe to use my c:\pb\prefs\PureBasic.prefs instead of what is packed in setup.exe?

Now I have to copy my prefs(PureBasic, Templates, Tools) to the install directory after installation.

It shouldn't have a .prefs in the installation package.

Ah, they are created on 1st use of the IDE if none exists?

[Fred]

yes

Thank you! I will make some tests!

Thank you,

it worked for me.

Now I can use a batch file to extend my development environment.
The batch file installs x86 and x64 in different directories with version number:

• .\x86\5.11.b1
• .\x64\5.11.b1

Also a subdirectory "Help" is created and PureBasic.en.chm and PureBasic.de.chm is copied to this directory.

cu,
