Installing the TestGen Plugin Silently

Posted July 20th, 2010 by Anonymous

I was wondering if there was a way to install the TestGen plugin silently for Firefox.

I was able to get it to install silently for Internet Explorer using the following commands:

Record the settings you want:

tg74pluginsetup.exe -r: ie_testgen.ini

Run through the installer like you normally would, EXCEPT, counter intuitively, select Firefox as the browser you want to install it for.

This will spit out a file called ie_testgen.ini. Save this file. It is what you need for the silent install.

Then, on a fresh machine, you can run the following:

tg74pluginsetup.exe -p: ie_testgen.ini

and it will "playback" the ini file settings into the .exe setup and install the plugin for Internet Explorer. I tried the same thing for Firefox, but got write errors for the plugin directory. Any plans on getting a silent install working for Firefox?

Thanks,

Hi Nate, Unfortunately we do

Hi Nate,

Unfortunately we do not have a silent install option built into the plug-in at this time. However, it's still possible to automate installs.

Typically, on Windows, admins write an auto-mater with Autoit to script the process (I've heard it's possible with MSI as well). On the Mac side they use Remote access or a combination of Telnet/SSH and the install command line tool.
