How can I get command line arguments in a Qt Installer Framework script?

I am writing a Qt Installer Framework script, and I would like to allow the user to launch the installer with arguments and then apply those arguments in various ways. For example, a switch to auto accept the EULA, a means to directly pass the target directory, a list of the components to be installed, etc.

Solution

  • The syntax to pass arguments to QIFW installer is Key=Value.

    You can provide command line argument like below

    YouInstaller.exe Arg1=true

    Then you can get this value in Component or Controller script as below

    var Arg1 = installer.value('Arg1')

    Controller Script
