Unattained Installation of Team Visual Studio 2012

Before we start our Silent Installation of Visual Studio 2012. We have to take care of few as mention below:

1.       IF SOURCE FOLDER CONTAINS SPACE(S) ANYWHERE IN THE ENTIRE PATH, INSTALLATION WILL FAIL.

2.       Create a copy of AdminDeployment.xml (to serve as backup in case any unwanted changes occur in original file)

3.        Change value of attribute NoWeb="default" to NoWeb="yes" in AdminDeployment.xml. See the highlighted section.

ORIGINAL:

http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2011/AdminDeployment

">

   NoWeb="default"/>

  

CHANGED:

http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2011/AdminDeployment

">

   NoWeb="yes"/>

  

3. Copy CHANGED AdminDeployment.xml into packages sub-folder of SOURCE FOLDER.

Now the below Script will do the magic to installed VS2012 in Silent, Unattained mode.

@echo off

echo ========================================================

set application=Visual Studio 2012 Premium

SET ERRORLEVEL=0

SET sourceLocation=D:\VS2012Premium\

SET setupFile=%sourceLocation%vs_premium.exe

SET adminFile=%sourceLocation%AdminDeployment.xml

SET logFileLocation="D:\Logs\Installations\vs2012_premium.log"

echo Installing %application% ....

echo SourceLocation=%sourceLocation%

echo setupFile=%setupFile%

echo adminFile=%adminFile%

echo logLocation=%logFileLocation%

:check

IF EXIST "%setupFile%" goto run

echo sourceLocation doesnot exist

SET ERRORLEVEL=1

goto end

:run

echo running installation file.....

"%setupFile%" /adminfile "%adminFile%" /quiet /norestart

:end

IF %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 (

                ECHO instalation done SUCCESSFULLY.

) ELSE (

                ECHO instalation FAILED. ERROR LEVEL %ERRORLEVEL%.

)

echo ========================================================

pause

exit
