Executable. Path property to force the assembly to look for the winscp. Further steps depend on a development environmentprogramming languages, that you will use with the assembly. Using from Visual Studio or other Development or Runtime Environment. Note that your runtime or development environment may copy the assembly into an another location. In that case you need to copy winscp. E. g. If you reference Win. SCP assembly from your project in Microsoft Visual Studio, it copies the assembly during build into the project Output path e. Debug. Similar case is when you install the assembly into Global Assembly Cache GAC.

SCP executable to be copied to project output directory, so that it can be found on run time, as described above. No other setup is needed, so you can start coding straight away after installation. Installing to GAC. In special cases, you may need to install the assembly into Global Assembly Cache GAC, particularly to use it from SSIS. When you install the assembly to GAC, you need to configure a path to Win. SCP executable. On Development Machine. To install the assembly into GAC on development machine, i.

Absolute path to the DLL is required to be specified or the above method will fail and only indication of failure is sent to Windows Event log. Registering for COM. Win. SCP. NET assembly exposes its full interface to COM. As a COM library, it needs to be registered before use. If you are going to use the COM interface, register the assembly using command below. You do not need to register the assembly, if you are going to use it directly as a. NET assembly, e. g. C, VB. NET or Power. Shell. WINDIRMicrosoft. NETFrameworklt version Reg. Asm. exe Win. SCPnet. Where the WINDIR is path to your Windows installation, what is typically C Windows or C WINNT. Note that you can keep WINDIR as this environment variable should be set on your system to point to the Windows folder. The Framework needs to be replaced by Framework. On 6. 4 bit systems, you should generally register the assembly both for 3. Microsoft Excel and 6. The lt version is version of. NET framework to register the assembly with. It is recommended to use the latest available, what currently is v. You may however use any framework version from 2. Note that framework 3. Reg. Asm. exe. For these versions use Reg.

Otherwise you need to specify an absolute path to the. Side by Side Registration. If you register multiple versions of the Win. SCP. NET assembly, the. NET framework will always use the latest version registered. If you want to use different version i. If you happen to remove the newest registered assembly, without unregistering it first, you will not be able to instantiate classes from the assembly, no matter that you have older versions of the assembly registered too. You need to download the version, you have removed, again and unregister it. Exact physical location of the assembly, when unregistering, does not need to match the original location of the removed assembly as long as the versions match. When deploying the assembly, make sure that Win. SCP executable winscp. Win. SCP assembly can find the executable. Embedding Win. SCP Executable as Resource. If you want to avoid having the winscp.

The goal of this document is to collect instructions for performing unattended. Such instructions. A quick word on terminology Strictly speaking, an unattended. However, most people use these terms. Here, we are interested not only in performing unattended installations, but. This is necessary for reliably installing multiple. General information. There are several systems which vendors use to create installers for their. To make an educated guess about how to run an installer unattended. Sometimes this will be. Of course, you can try running the installer with the But if you really expect this to work. Windows for very long. In my experience, the odds. MSI packages. Microsofts own Windows Installer Service is the nominal standard, and if. Unfortunately. Microsoft invented it too late. The package files have a. For installation, use the i and qb switches. Use the. l switch to produce a log file. You can provide named options or. For example, this command. Active. Perl. msi PERLPATHYes PERLEXTYes. Active. State Perl, instructing the MSI package to add. Perl. exe to your PATH and to associate. Perhaps the most important common property is the REBOOT property, which you can use to suppress any automatic. MSI package might try to perform. So in general, you want to provide. REBOOTReally. Suppress. Neat, huh Too bad nobody uses it. Install. Shield. Install. Shield is one. of the oldest and most widely used application packaging systems. Installers created by Install. Shield recognize the r, s, sms, f. The installer itself is invariably named setup. To perform a silent installation, you need an Install. Shield answer. file, customarily named setup. Some applications ship with. Here is how it works. Run the installer with the r. Proceed through the dialogs and complete the. This will create a setup. C WINDOWS directory yes, really. This file will include all of. Install. Shield dialogs, allowing you to perform unattended. Simply copy setup. Once you have a setup. This will perform an unattended. Unfortunately, the installer will fork a separate process and exit, meaning it. This makes it useless for scripting purposes. Luckily, there is another switch. Hence, for an Install. Shield application, you want to provide both the s and the sms switches. The f. 1filename switch allows you to specify a. Note that. there must be no space between the f. This switch works both with r to create the file and. The f. 2filename switch specifies a log file. Once again. there must be no space between the switch and the file name. WARNING Be careful what characters you use in these file. Install. Shield silently strips certain non alphanumerics like. Oh, one more thing. The r and s switches only work. Many packages have custom. For such packages, I suggest. If that does not work, I suggest doing. Packageforthe. Web. Install. Shield has a relatively new add on product. Packageforthe. Web, or PFTW for short. This is basically an Install. Shield. tree bundled up as a single file executable. When you run this executable, it extracts a bunch of files to a temporary. The PFTW package recognizes the s and a . The s switch instructs the PFTW package to run silently. The a . add switch allows you to add switches. You may. provide any of the normal Install. Shield switches here, including r. Thus, to automate the installation of a PFTW package named foo. Then, to install the package completely silently, you would run. The first s is only needed for a completely silent installation. If you leave it off, the PFTW package will show you a status bar as it extracts. Install. Shield tree to the temporary directory. Install. Shield with MSIRecent versions 7 and above of Install. Shields tools are able to produce MSI files. Read Install. Shields documentation for full details. These MSI files may be shipped alone or with a setup. These installers in turn come in two flavors, called Install. Script. MSI and Basic MSI. Install. Script MSI uses the traditional Install. Shield switches. Basic MSI is. To perform an unattended installation using a Basic MSI installer, you provide. These should include the qb or qn switch to make. Just to make things interesting, any of these mechanisms might be combined with. PFTW. For example, we eventually figured out that the IBM Update Connector requires these flags for unattended. The first s tells the PFTW installer to extract silently. The. a tells it to provide the remaining switches to the underlying. The second s tells setup. Finally, Install. Shield has a Knowledge. Base article which is less helpful than you might. Are we having fun yet Wise Install. Master. Install. Master from Wise. Solutions is a competitor to Install. Shield. You can usually identify the. Wise. Install. Master installers are supposed to recognize the s switch to. And in our experience, they generally do. But. there is no way to set options, and the exit status is meaningless. Note This product has been rebranded the Wise. Installation System. Dont let them confuse you. Inno Setup. Inno Setup is. You can usually identify the installers. Inno. The switches for Inno Setup are fully documented in the ISetup. Inno distribution. Here, is an html version. Thanks to. Lawrence Mayer for it. In our experience, the silent switch is usually sufficient for a. But to be completely sure, we recommend sp silent norestart. Note that the verysilent switch may reboot the machine without. So if you use. verysilent, be sure to use norestart as well. Nullsoft Scriptable Install System. The Nullsoft Scriptable. Install System NSIS is another open source installation system. It was. created by the Win. Amp authors. to distribute that application, but it is now a general purpose system which anyone might. When an NSIS installer runs, it creates a little window which says verifying installer N, where N counts from 0 to. So you can recognize these installers by this behavior. Actually the. verification procedure is optional, but most installers have it enabled. As an. alternative, you can run strings and grep for NSIS. NSIS installers recognize S for silent installation. NCRC to suppress the CRC verification step, and Ddir to specify the output directory, which is where the. These options are case sensitive, so. Incidentally, all S does is change the installer scripts Silent. Install attribute from normal to. What effect this has, exactly, depends on the person who. If S does not perform a silent install, consider. Ghost installer. Ethalones Ghost installer. The free edition is nothing but the compiler, which takes XML files the. XML files. When a Ghost installer runs, it creates a little graphical window which says. Ghost installer wizard. Setup is preparing the Ghost Installer. Ghost installers recognize s case sensitive for silent. If you have trouble to get it silent you might try to guess internal variables. My. Varvalue. Unfortunately, using strings will not help you. See here. Other command line parameters are r repair. Microsoft hotfixes and older packages. Most Microsoft hotfixes respond to the According to KB. KB article 8. 24. Microsoft is moving towards standardized. But they are not done yet. Modern hotfixes support passive formerly u for. Some hotfixes use an old Microsoft packaging technology called. IExpress, whose switches are more or less documented in KB article 1.
