How to perform an unattended installation of Sitecore? -


my team attempting perform automated installation of sitecore via salt using sitecore executable. prefer use .exe on manual installation of zip package because installation wizard handles registering sitecore installed program modifying registry. theoretically let salt know "state" has been fulfilled.

when running executable /? argument, following list of options displayed:

/? or /help : screen /i : install (default) /x : uninstall /q : force silent (no ui) mode /qb : force basic ui mode /nq : force full ui mode /nosplash : not display splash screen /log : enable logging /logfile [path] : specify log file /configfile [path] : specify configuration file /extractcab : extract embedded components /displaycab : display list of embedded components /displayconfig : display list of configurations /componentargs ["id|display_name":"value"...] : additional component args /controlargs ["id":"value" ...] : additional control values /completecommandargs [args] : additional complete command  

despite our best efforts, unable find documentation on these arguments apart descriptions above. think we're after way provide config file executable (using /configfile argument) contains following information:

  • install / uninstall
  • installation type (full / client-only)
  • instance name
  • database credentials

running /displayconfig command displays language options , that's it.

does know how provide config executable and/or pass arguments needs?
