This is a silent installer and uninstaller for WinSCP (http://winscp.net/), an FTP, SFTP and SCP client.

WinSCP 4.3.x

<package
	id="winscp"
	name="WinSCP"
	revision="2"
	priority="10"
	reboot="false">

	<check
		type="uninstall"
		condition="exists"
		path="WinSCP 4.3.5" />

	<install
		cmd="%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp435setup.exe /sp- /silent /nocancel /norestart /nocandy /log" />

	<upgrade
		cmd="%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp435setup.exe /sp- /silent /nocancel /norestart /nocandy /log" />

	<remove
		cmd="%PROGRAMFILES%\WinSCP\unins000.exe /silent /log /norestart" />
</package>

The /NOCANDY parameter ensures OpenCandy, the facility for serving adverts 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.

winscp.inf

If you want even more control over installation parameters you can generate a winscp.inf file by running:

winscp435setup.exe /SAVEINF="winscp.inf"

Then use /LOADINF="%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp.inf" during installation.

After generating winscp.inf, 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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<packages>
  <package
    id="winscp3"
    name="WinSCP v3"
    revision="3560"
    priority="0"
    reboot="false">

    <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="WinSCP 3.5.6"/>

    <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\winscp\winscp356setup.exe /sp- /silent /norestart'/>

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

  </package>
</packages>
