BTAD_SilentMode

  • Article

BTAD_SilentMode specifies options for running the script in silent mode.

Remarks

When you specify an option for silent mode, BTS Installer places its value into the BTAD_SilentMode variable.

The default value of BTAD_SilentMode is 2, which specifies that the script runs in silent mode. The following table describes the possible values for BTAD_SilentMode.

Caution

If you start the BizTalk Server user interface from scripts, modal dialog boxes may not be visible or have focus, making them difficult to view and dismiss. The BizTalk databases can become locked and inaccessible while modal dialog boxes are open. For this reason, on production systems, all scripts should run in silent mode.

Value Description
0 Does not change the user interface (UI) level.
1 Uses the default UI level.
2 Performs a silent installation (the default).
3 Provides simple progress and error handling.
4 Provides authored UI; suppresses wizards.
0x80 If combined with any above value, Windows Installer displays a modal dialog box if the script has executed successfully or if there has been an error. No dialog box is displayed if the user cancels the operation.
0x40 If combined with the 3 value, Windows Installer displays progress dialog boxes but does not display any modal dialog boxes or error dialog boxes.
0x20 If combined with the 3 value, Windows Installer displays progress dialog boxes but does not display any modal dialog boxes or error dialog boxes.
