Setup Launcher Version 1.2 |
---|---|
Help & User Guide |
SST installation packages that include the Setup Launcher support various command line switches
with which the Setup Launcher can be induced to limit its actions
to certain subsidiary or special functions, or perform a particular type of
installation.
Command line switches are letters, characters, or words preceded by a dash ("-") or
slash ("/"), that are appended to a command that is
"understood"/recognized by the operating system or an executable file*1,
such as the Setup Launcher.
However, in some cases it is not only necessary to specify the command line switch itself,
but also a parameter in addition to the command line switch.
Parameters have to be seperated from the last character of the command line switch by
a single blank/space and differ from command line switches in that they are normally not
preceded by a dash ("-") or slash ("/").
The following, two tables exemplify the issue.
The first table shows the simplest form of a command line with a single switch, but no parameter.
The second table shows a command line with both a switch and a parameter.

Currently, the only SST Setup Launcher command line switches requiring parameters, are limited to those that necessitate specifying the path and/or name of a file (see Verify Digital Signature Command Line Switch, further below). |

*1 | Executable files (usually just called executables) can also be (shell) script or batch files. However, the Setup Launcher is always a binary executable. |
*2 | In most cases the operating system (i.e. Windows) reliably identifies executable files by other means than the file's suffix, and the file suffix of an exectuable file can be omitted (as in Table 2). We recommend that you specify the executale's (i.e. the Setup Launcher's) file suffix if it is displayed in Windows Explorer and omit it, if it is not. However, this only applies to the first part of the command line. Parameters are processed by the Setup Launcher and the Setup Launcher requires a file's full name, including the suffix, in order to identify a file. |
