Before we start our Silent Installation of Visual Studio
2012. We have to take care of few as mention below:
1.
IF SOURCE FOLDER CONTAINS SPACE(S) ANYWHERE IN
THE ENTIRE PATH, INSTALLATION WILL FAIL.
2.
Create a copy of AdminDeployment.xml (to serve as backup in case any unwanted changes
occur in original file)
3.
Change
value of attribute NoWeb="default" to
NoWeb="yes" in AdminDeployment.xml.
See the highlighted section.
ORIGINAL:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2011/AdminDeployment
">
NoWeb="default"/>
CHANGED:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2011/AdminDeployment
">
NoWeb="yes"/>
3. Copy CHANGED AdminDeployment.xml into
packages sub-folder of SOURCE FOLDER.
Now the below Script will do the magic to installed VS2012
in Silent, Unattained mode.
@echo off
echo

set application=Visual Studio
2012 Premium
SET ERRORLEVEL=0
SET sourceLocation=D:\VS2012Premium\

goto end

echo running installation file.....

IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (
