silent-installer

I want to implement a silent installer-from-apk-file and unistaller-package in Android. The topic has largely been discussed on SO and elsewhere but I can't apply any for some reason that I'm missing. The scope is obviously hard to achieve because, if successful, it would be a serious security breach in Android. BUT, I need to implement it for a special project, not for the consumer market. There are two approaches: to generate a custom ROM from a source code (AOSP or Cyanogen mod, for example), by tweaking the PackageManager installer (in fact just to remove the user acceptance dialog boxes).

I have the following C# code: string desktopPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop); Process.Start("cmd.exe", "/c" + desktopPath + "\\" + "MyInstaller_7.1.51.14.exe –s –v –qn"); The first line gets the path of my desktop where the .exe is located. The string desktopPath is used in the second line. The second line is supposed to start the installer in silent mode, so that the process runs in the background and the installation wizard does NOT appear at all. Running the string result of desktopPath + "\\" + "MyInstaller_7.1.51.14.exe –s –v –qn" in the command prompt

I am writing a InstallerClass using C# as a custom action for my installer, and I can successfully run an external exe (installation) using the InstallerClass , but when I try to use /quiet in the InstallerClass , it does not install the exe. But I can successfully install this in silent mode using /quiet in the command prompt. Is there any reason for this or otherwise how to install in silent mode using C#? Following is the code I use within the Commit method (overriden): Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.FileName = pathExternalInstaller; p.StartInfo

PackageInstaller ( https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageInstaller.html ) seems to have been added starting in API 21 (Lollipop), however I have not found any solid code examples on how to install an APK via this API. Any code help would be appreciated. I’m investigating COSU/Kiosk apps for Android M Preview and was trying to implement the new feature "Silent install and uninstall of apps by Device Owner” ( https://developer.android.com/preview/api-overview.html#afw ) via the PackageInstaller API. Found these, but not helpful: How to install/update/remove APK using

If I want a silent install, is there any simple way of running the installer, selecting the desired options and then determining the msiexec options/switches necessary for an equivalent installation? (Preferably without actually installing anything - not clicking finish) Or is digging through the MSI database all you can do to find the desired properties? Yes, it sounds like you need to create a response transform (MST). A lot of the tools linked to above are premium tools (not worth paying for a response transform!!) but I used this a while ago (this tool is free) and it seemed to work well:

I am trying to write a .bat for the first time. I am trying to install .msi using script, currently we are installing manually by double clicking on it. Path from : d:/installed sw/$folder/.msi Path to : D:/program files/app/ $folder means, it is different every time, as we are getting new msi to install which are provided in folder created by current date. Here is the script I am trying: @echo off Title HOST: Installing Updates on %computername% echo %computername% set server=\\SERVERNAME or PATH\msifolder :select cls echo Select one of the Following MSI Install Folders for installation task.
