My team is trying to perform an automatic installation of Sitecore through Salt using the Sitecore executable. We prefer to use .exe over the manual installation of the zip package, because the installation wizard processes the registration of Sitecore as an installed program by modifying the registry. This would theoretically allow Salt to know that the "state" has been fulfilled.
When you run the executable with /? argument, the following list of options is displayed:
/? or /help : this help screen
/i : install (default)
/x : uninstall
/q : force silent (no UI) mode
/qb : force basic UI mode
/nq : force full UI mode
/nosplash : do not display splash screen
/Log : enable logging
/LogFile [path] : specify log file
/ConfigFile [path] : specify configuration file
/ExtractCab : extract embedded components
/DisplayCab : display a list of embedded components
/DisplayConfig : display a list of configurations
/ComponentArgs ["id|display_name":"value"...] : additional component args
/ControlArgs ["id":"value" ...] : additional control values
/CompleteCommandArgs [args] : additional complete command
Despite all our efforts, we cannot find documentation for these arguments other than those described above. I think we need to provide a configuration file to an executable (using an argument /ConfigFile) that contains the following information:
/DisplayConfig .
