SilentSwitchFinder

SilentSwitchFinder is a reliable utility that allows programmers to scan various installer files for silent switches and create VBScripts that include install and uninstall functions.

Users can handle a large variety of documents since this application supports numerous installer types, including Inno Setup, Wise, MSIEXEC, Nullsoft NSIS, InstallShield and AutoIt3. It is possible to toggle various features on and off from the main window, including install and uninstall switches or additional installation information.

Silent switches in installers can be extremely handy, especially if developers are trying to deploy silent installs to multiple systems at once. This application automatically detects the corresponding installer type, without users specifying it. However, they might consider enabling the “Not using vbScript” option from the main window.

After properly detecting the setup file type, the program generates VB scripts that include install and uninstall features, while also encompassing a significant amount of other useful functions.

Regardless of the installer type that developers might have used, SilentSwitchFinder allows users to add or define additional features by including it in the newly generated script. This situation also applies if developers use another management system that relies on a script type other than VBScript.

Similarly to the example above, if programmers are using the CapaInstaller, this program can help them include install and uninstall functions to their scripts. The aforementioned system does not feature support for Inno Setup nor Nullsoft NSIS.

Since each installer type comes with different features, this application proves itself to be handy by allowing programmers to include advanced features within their scripts, regardless of the management system.
