Scripted installation
---------------------

In addition to the normal installation procedure, you can also create a script
for unattended installation. To do this, you need to modify the setup.ini
file. This file has a [AutoSetup] group with several values to control the
installation process. You can define the following values:

 * Silent
   Indicates if the setup process runs invisible and automatically, can be
   true or false (default).
   When silent is false, the values below act as defaults in the setup
   application.

 * LicenseAgreement
   Indicates if the license agreement will be shown, can be true (default) or
   false

 * Language
   The language that will be used (enter the filename, like dutch.lang)

 * Path
   The installation directory (default "Program Files"\PLSQL Developer)

 * CreateGroup
   Indicates if a PL/SQL Developer group with shortcuts should be created, can
   be true (default) or false.

 * CreateGroupIn
   The group where the PL/SQL Developer shortcuts will be created.

 * CreateShortcut
   Indicates if a shortcut on the desktop should be created, can be true
   (default) or false.

 * TemplateFiles
   Indicates if the template files should be installed, can be true (default)
   or false

 * KeywordFiles
   Indicates if the keyword files should be installed, can be true (default)
   or false

 * ExternalExecute
   Allows you to run an external application after setup has finished
   successfully. 

 * AutoStart
   Indicates if PL/SQL Developer should be started after installation, can be
   true or false (default)


To create a completely silent install that will automatically start PL/SQL
Developer after installation you can define the section like this:

[AutoSetup]
Silent=true
LicenseAgreement=false
Language=
Path=
CreateGroup=true
CreateGroupIn=
CreateShortcut=true
TemplateFiles=true
KeywordFiles=true
ExternalExecute=
AutoStart=true


NOTE:
Before you can modify the installation process you need to get the installation files. For the trial version you can use winzip to extract all
files from the exe file. For the registered version you can run the setup
that asks for the product code, and keep the ctrl key pressed when selecting the OK button. This will bring up a dialog where you can select a destination
directory.
