Silent redistribution

A silent redistribution does not prompt your user for any Aurora Imaging Library or Aurora Imaging Library Lite information; instead, it uses a response file to provide the necessary setup parameters for the intended computer. You would use a silent redistribution when you are including Aurora Imaging Library or Aurora Imaging Library Lite within your application and you do not want to have any Aurora Imaging Library setup dialog boxes appear. You could also use a silent redistribution if you wanted to control the setup parameters for your client.

To redistribute the Aurora Imaging Library or Aurora Imaging Library Lite DLLs and device drivers using a silent redistribution:

1. Copy the contents of the Aurora Imaging Library or Aurora Imaging Library Lite installation media to your installation directory. Alternatively, you can use the Redist.exe program to select the redistribution packages and drivers to copy in your installation directory. For more details on how to use this program, see Interactive redistribution using your custom installation media.
2. Record your setup options. To do so, start the AILSetup.exe and follow the presented instructions for an interactive Aurora Imaging Library or Aurora Imaging Library Lite redistribution. Any selected setting is recorded and stored in the ailsetup11.custom file. The ailsetup11.custom file will be created in the 11 folder under %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Aurora Imaging Library and must be moved to the root folder of your installation directory next to AILSetup.exe.
3. Have your redistribution program call the AILSetup.exe program with the /s switch. The setup will silently install Aurora Imaging Library or Aurora Imaging Library Lite with the options that were selected during the recording phase and stored in the ailsetup11.custom file.

Note: You can also silently install Aurora Imaging Library updates by having your redistribution program call the Aurora Imaging Library update AILSetup.exe program with the /s switch.
