Summary:

MadCap applications created in 2015 or before can use the Flare MSI and MSIEXEC commands.

Applications created in 2016 use a new installer based off WiX. Below are some of the general commands to silently install these applications

Full Description:

  1. Open the command line
  2. Change the directory path to where SetupMadCapFlare.exe is saved
    • cd ex: C:\mysavedexes\MadCap Sofware
  3. Call the exe and add a flag
    • SetupMadCapFlare.exe -silent
    • - silent will install Flare in the background

Here are additional flags:

Silent install

  • SetupMadCapFlare.exe -q
  • SetupMadCapFlare.exe -quiet
  • SetupMadCapFlare.exe -s
  • SetupMadCapFlare.exe -silent

Progress bar only install - meaning you should see the installation wizard UI but you won't have to click "Next", it will just begin installing.

  • SetupMadCapFlare.exe -repair

Uninstall

  • SetupMadCapFlare.exe -uninstall
