How to silent install NPP 7.7 ? (MDT installation)

Oliver Bishop

Hello,

I’m installing NPP7.7 across my network (simply because I find it so much better than standard notepad), however I’d like to install it silently via my MDT server.

Someone mentioned trying /S however when I try that manually, it still bring up the installer window.

What is the command line options for the .exe installer? (or is there an MSI that I can get somewhere).

Thanks!

welcome to the notepad++ community, @Oliver-Bishop

the correct command line is: npp.7.7.Installer.exe /S /D=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\

notes:

the installer has to be run with elevated rights, due to necessary permissions for an install.
if you use start in a batch script, you have to specify a title, like start "nppInstaller" npp.7.7.Installer.exe /S /D=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\.

best regards.
