How can I embed the PostgreSQL database in my WinForms system installer?
I can even put it as a prerequisite to install before the system binaries, however, I wanted to do a silent installation. I would also like to know how to create the bank of my application during installation.
If you call the postgresql executable by passing the --help parameter it will open the information:
Youmustenterthepassword,thepathoftheinstallation,youcandefineitthroughtheparameters.
Soyoucancallitlikethis:
msiexec/ipostgresql[versão].msi/qrINTERNALLAUNCH=1ADDLOCAL=server,psql,docsSERVICEDOMAIN="%COMPUTERNAME%"
SERVICEPASSWORD="SecretWindowsPassword123" SUPERPASSWORD="VerySecret" BASEDIR="c:\postgres" TRANSFORMS=:lang_de
I've never used the Advanced Installer, but I've already used NSIS Compiler , and I currently use the Inno Setup Compiler , I know you can do this without problems ..
