Command line

Install novaPDF

novaPDF Setup has the following command line parameters:

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed

If a restart is necessary and the /NORESTART command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking.

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

Instructs Setup to suppress message boxes. Only has an effect when combined with /SILENT and /VERYSILENT.

/NOCANCEL

Prevents the user from cancelling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with /SILENT or /VERYSILENT.

/NORESTART

Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.

/RESTARTEXITCODE=exit code

Specifies the custom exit code that Setup is to return when a restart is needed. Useful along with /NORESTART'

/DIR="x:\dirname"

Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.

/GROUP="folder name"

Overrides the default folder name displayed on the Select Start Menu Folder wizard page.

/LANG="language"

Specifies the language to use for the installation. When a valid /LANG parameter is used, the Select Language dialog will be suppressed.

/Languages="language1-language2-..."

Specifies the languages that will be installed. Use short language codes (like "en-it").

/DefaultLang="language"

Specifies the default language. Use short language codes (like "en") or the REGST constant for Use regional settings option.

/PrinterName="printer name"

Name of the installed printer. By default the name is "novaPDF v5"

/RegisterName="registration name"

novaPDF registration name

/RegisterKey="license key"

novaPDF registration key (not the SDK application license key, but the printer license key)

/Default

Instructs setup to set the printer as default printer.

/NoInstallIfExists

Instructs setup to check if a novaPDF, with the same name, is already installed. If it is, it does not start the installation

Here is an example of how to call the silent installer:

novapp.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NOCANCEL /NORESTART /PrinterName="novaPDF v5"

Uninstall novaPDF

When installing novaPDF, there will be added a Start Menu folder for the novaPDF. There will be also an menu item for the uninstaller.

If you installed with default directory name, the uninstaller is located at: C:\Program Files\Softland\novaPDF v5\unins000.exe.

The uninstaller has also some parameters for silent uninstall (they have the same meaning as for the installer, see above for details):

/SILENT

/VERYSILENT

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

/NORESTART
