This chapter looks at automated installations (without user dialogs).
In some cases, such as for software shared systems, it is necessary that the installation of Gpg4win works without interaction using dialogs. However, in order to still define all installation settings in advance, Gpg4win supports the configuration of the installation path and other options on the command line as well as a control file.
The installation path can be indicated with the option
/D=<PFAD>, which must be submitted as the last option on
the command line. The file name (here: gpg4win.exe) may
vary depending on the version. It does make a difference whether you
use capital or small letters when entering information in the command
line. If required, access rights (e.g. read and write) may also be
configured in the installation folder. An example:
gpg4win.exe /D=D:\Programme\Gpg4win
Using the option /S, the installation runs "silently",
hence without any dialogs. If no other parameters are set, all default
settings will be adopted.
Gpg4win also supports a so-called control file. You can use the option /C=<INIFILE> to enter a control file (name usually ends in .ini).
Another example:
gpg4win.exe /S /C=C:\TEMP\gpg4win.ini
This .ini file should contain exactly one section
[gpg4win]. It is where various settings can be made,
including absolute path information for the configuration files to be
installed. Relative paths, hence those that are dependent on the
current working directory, cannot be entered here. Absolute paths
contain the complete path including the drive name. Usually settings
must be entered if the default settings should not be used. Exceptions
to this rule are documented in the example on the next page.
This is an example of the contents in a control file which displays all authorized key words:
[gpg4win] ; Installation settings. Leave out or leave empty for ; Default settings inst_gpgol = true inst_gpgex = true inst_kleopatra = true inst_gpa = true inst_claws_mail = false inst_compendium = true ; The locations at which linkages are to be prepared. inst_start_menu = true inst_desktop = false inst_quick_launch_bar = false ; In contrast to the other options, this option overwrites ; the user's settings in the installation assistant. inst_start_menu_folder = Gpg4win ; Standard configuration files. gpg.conf = D:\config\gpg-site.conf gpg-agent.conf = D:\config\gpg-agent-site.conf trustlist.txt = D:\config\trustlist-site.txt dirmngr.conf = D:\config\dirmngr-site.conf dirmngr_ldapserver.conf = D:\config\dirmngr_ldapserver-site.conf scdaemon.conf = D:\config\scdaemon-site.txt gpa.conf = D:\config\gpa-site.conf
A corresponding request for automatic installation with a control file
gpg4win.ini and an installation path
D:\Programme\Gpg4win could look as follows:
gpg4win.exe /S /C=C:\TEMP\gpg4win.ini /D=D:\Programme\Gpg4win
