[stunnel-users] Install directory with /S /D=[path]

[Yoshitake, Aaron]

Hi all,

I'm making an installer that installs stunnel as a dependency, and I'd like to customize its install directory while running it in silent mode.

Per the NSIS docs, my command has the /S switch for silent mode, but when I try /D=[path], the installer ignores it and installs to Program Files (x86)/stunnel anyway.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron,
You are right. The installer was developed with the MultiUser.nsh macros. I understand the only suported command line switches are /AllUsers, /CurrentUser and /S . There is no provision to specify a target directory.
You may be able to hack the installer sources to do what you want. Or you can repack the files. I have the sources of an Inno Setup installer if want to take a look. Although Inno Setup installers are considered insecure this days :)

Regards,Jose

Thanks for the info, Jose!

No worries, I’ll just install to the default directory.. no harm done.

Cheers,
Aaron
