I need assistance in setting up a silent install script to install Scopy on Windows, with the drivers.

I moved this question to the correct forum for you.

I put a new file in releases called - Scopy-v1.4.1-Windows-portable.zip

https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/scopy/releases/tag/v1.4.1 

This should contain everything to install Scopy. This will not install the drivers however. 

I think you can install the drivers by unpacking this self extracting archive - https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/plutosdr-m2k-drivers-win/releases/tag/v0.9 

and then running dpinst.exe /se /q 

The /se /q parameters should supress the dialog boxes and make a silent install

Hello, so the zip file looks like it is just the directory structure that the Scopy install creates.

Yes, simply unzip that and you should be good to go ..

Well, thanks for trying. The portable copy is not going to do me any good. Can't register in Windows.

My install is working to properly install Scopy, I just have the same issue installing the drivers. I have tried using the one you sent, but it still wants to ask for user intervention if I run it after Scopy is installed, if I run it before Scopy is installed it will "run" unattended but it won't put anything in "Programs" I don't believe it installs.

I have a saved inf file for installing Scopy created according to information from the scopy-v1.4.1-Windows-setup.exe /? help info.

I am using this installation command: "scopy-v1.4.1-Windows-setup.exe" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /LOADINF="scopy.inf" /LANG=English

Then I try to install the drivers with this command: PlutoSDR-M2K\dpinst.exe" /se /q

I don't know if anyone has any additional information to help me. I can't get past this part.

Thanks.

This is the contents of the Scopy.inf file: 

[Setup]
Lang=english
Dir=C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Scopy
Group=Scopy
NoIcons=0
Tasks=deleteini,deletepreferences

Drivers and Scopy are two different things. Scopy installer bundles the drivers as well but this is skippable. The driver install is a regular dpinst driver install so it should be possible to silent install them if you have administrator rights. The installer for Scopy is built based on this recipe built with InnoSetup - https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/scopy/blob/master/scopy.iss.cmakein 

The installer for the m2k drivers are built based on this recipe - https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/plutosdr-m2k-drivers-win/blob/master/dpinst.xml 

I don't know if this information helps you or not ..

Oh, no, that isn't helping at all, I already had looked at those files during my troubleshooting process. I need the developers to chime in and give me some assistance because I am running these with an Admin install tool that elevates the privileges and the installs are not acting right to give us a fully unattended install. Manual install is fine. If the developers see what I have posted above, they may be able to tell me if I need to change an option or do something differently. Thanks anyway.

I am the main developer of Scopy. We have not developed the installer tool ourselves, but rather dpinst is a driver install tool from Microsoft.

You can compare the output of dpinst.exe /c  (user install)

and the output of dpinst.exe /se /q /c (unattended install) -

On my machine the output is the same.for both.

We can look into the logs but it sounds like your issue is not driver specific but rather install tool specific, and we cannot really advise on dpinst behavior.

Ah, well, that makes sense, I have run the dpinst.exe installs many times before from other driver suppliers without issue but didn't use those switches. Only used /s before, which also does not help in this instance. What does the /c do? Is there a log for dpinst when it runs? When I save the Scopy install to the Scopy.inf and choose to add the drivers through there, I get the same results where it want to ask the user to click next when it tries to install the drivers after installing Scopy. And I can send that install to a log file bit it didn't reveal anything about why it asks for user intervention. It is like it is not passing along the run silent switches.

Is there someone I should talk to that supplied that driver install for this product?

Thank you for your response and assistance.
