This is a silent installer and uninstaller for WinSCP (http://winscp.net/), an FTP, SFTP and SCP client.
WinSCP 4.2.x
<package
id="winscp"
name="WinSCP"
revision="200912281"
reboot="false"
priority="10">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="WinSCP 4.2.5" />
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp425setup.exe" /NOCANDY /LOADINF="%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp.inf" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART' />
<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp425setup.exe" /NOCANDY /LOADINF="%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp.inf" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART' />
<remove cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\WinSCP\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART' />
</package>
The /NOCANDY parameter ensures OpenCandy, the facility for servingadverts during installation, isn't included. Without it a dialog box containing Please choose an option text will pop up in versions of the installer that include OpenCandy and halt the whole installation process. Alternatively a version of the installer can be chosen that doesn't include OpenCandy. Note that WinSCP 4.3.5, at least at time of release, didn't include OpenCandy but this isn't the norm.
A winscp.inf file can be generated by running:
winscp425setup.exe /SAVEINF="winscp.inf"
After generating the inf via /SAVEINF, if you use a general installation script (like above), edit the line "DIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP" to "DIR=" in order to force the intaller to install into its standard installation directory. Furthermore the "remove-action" should be edited.
WinSCP 4.1.x
Use the following XML file for silent installation:
<package
id='WinSCP'
name='WinSCP'
revision='415'
priority='0'
reboot='false'>
<check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='WinSCP 4.1.5'/>
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp415setup.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /LOADINF="%SOFTWARE%\winscp\default.ini"'/>
<upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp415setup.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /LOADINF="%SOFTWARE%\winscp\default.ini"'/>
<remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\WinSCP\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT'/>
</package>
</packages>
WinSCP uses an InnoSetup installer. The installation is described in the WinSCP documentation. Basically you need to execute
winscp406setup.exe /SAVEINF="default.inf"
WinSCP 3

<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp356setup.exe /sp- /silent /norestart'/>
<remove cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\WinSCP3\unins000.exe" /sp- /silent /norestart'/>
