FlowFact can be installed silently, but it needs some software installed before:

• .NET 1.1
• .NET 2.0
• .NET language pack
• Crystal Reports
• Crystal Reports language pack
• import registry entry
• launch FlowFact installer

registry entry

Save it to file, and import with "regedit -s %SOFTWARE%\FlowFact\flowfact.reg":

REGEDIT4


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FlowFact]

"DOTNETFX"="1"

"DOTNETFX2"="1"

"DOTNETFX2LangpackDEU"="1"

"DOTNET2FlowFactNetApp"="1"

"CRDOTNET2"="1"

FlowFact installation

The installer makes almost no actions requiring manual intervention if it finds all components installed. You can call it by simply:

%SOFTWARE%\FlowFact\setup.exe

The only action requiring manual intervention is the Explorer window opened after installation - so perhaps it's a good idea to reboot the system after installation.

sample .bat script

%SOFTWARE%\flowfact\dotnetfx.exe /q /c:"install /q"

%SOFTWARE%\flowfact\dotnetfx2.exe /q /c:"install /q"

%SOFTWARE%\flowfact\langpackfx2.exe /q /c:"install /q"

start /wait msiexec /q /i %SOFTWARE%\flowfact\CRRedist2005_x86.msi ALLUSERS=1

start /wait msiexec /q /i %SOFTWARE%\flowfact\CRRedist2005_x86_de.msi ALLUSERS=1


regedit -s %SOFTWARE%\FlowFact\flowfact.reg

%SOFTWARE%\FlowFact\setup.exe

other

The installer adds a "FlowFact" uninstall string.

Software doesn't work as a non-Administrator user unless you start it as Administrator for the first time:

start /i %SOFTWARE%\flowfact\FlowFact.EXE
ping -n 30 127.0.0.1
taskkill /f /im setupadd.exe
ping -n 120 127.0.0.1
taskkill /f /im flowfact.exe
