Hello,

I need to deploy some older deployment software (like Ultragrid 2 or TX Text Control). The installation process is windowed, requires entering a software license, and I can't find a silent flag.

I'd like to know if WAPT is still suitable for this type of application, and if so, how to ensure a smooth installation.

Thank you.

In these kinds of situations, you have to start tinkering.

For example:
Perform the installation manually, retrieve the folder from Program Files, place the folder in the package, and copy it during the installation.

To put the folder into the package, I use `filetocopy`? That is, I create my package with the .exe file and then call all the files in the folder?

Thank you for the information.
