[SOLVED] Powershell silent / unattended install of Delphi Tokyo 10.2

Powershell silent / unattended install of Delphi Tokyo 10.2 - for CI use in win docker container

I'm attempting to create a powershell command that silently installs Delphi Tokyo 10.2 - to be used as an automated compiler in a Windows Docker container. I've not been able to find any recent documentation on how to implement an unattended/silent installation using the proper installer commands / switches.

I was able to determine that the Tokyo and Rio installers use Inno Setup - and should be given Inno Setup installer commands/switches.

From the Tokyo installer about page:

This is the command I've messed with thus far:

.\radstudio10_2_3_esd__93231.exe /sp- /verysilent /suppressmsgboxes /norestart/ /log="c:\somelocation\install.log"

However I am not able to get the install process to go past the first page or EULA checkbox. The failed silent install log shows:

Here's a portion of the logs from a non-silent install of the same installer package:

So in the above successful non-silent install - notice the line in the logs that says Message box (OK) this occurs after I accept the EULA. So at present i'm not sure how to pass an installer switch to suffice the EULA page silently.

Has anyone had success with creating a silent / unattended install of Delphi Tokyo or Rio? Or has found documentation that helped them achieve something similar?

Any help is much appreciated!

Kind Regards,

For Delphi 2007 and Delphi XE2 we were able to do a silent installation with setup.exe /s, see https://delphisorcery.blogspot.com/2011/07/unattended-delphi-installation-how.html for reference.

But this did not work for Delphi 10.2 Tokyo anymore. So our IT department called Embarcadero directly for more information on how to do a silent installation. But unfortunately they told us, the installation process can not be done silently!
