Обсуждение: installation problem
Hello, our company has created a windows software that needs to be packaged with psql installation msi file. We need to do quiet windows installation based on a config file witouth user interacation for the database part. In other words I need to be able to install the db server withouth user having to interact with the windows installer. Is there anyway that we could provide configuration file and use the quiet mode of msiexe to do the installation in the silent mode? I didn't find anything for that in the help files and documentaion provided with the package. I really need this to work and any help/tip/example is greatly appreciated. Regards, Sean

It looks like you have SERVICEPASSWORD misspelled. I haven't actually tried this method as I do mostly linux/solaris postgres administration, so hopefully someone else who deals with the windows installer will chime in.
