The NSIS installers options for a silent install were:
/S for silent installation
/D=dir to specify the installation directory
How could you call it a bug?
It was a NSIS feature that you replaced with this code years ago:
[...]
;=== Check that it exists at the right location
DetailPrint '$(checkforplatform)'
${If} ${FileExists} `$0\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe`
;=== Check that it's the real deal
MoreInfo::GetProductName
`$0\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe`
Pop $1
${If} $1 == "PortableApps.com Platform"
MoreInfo::GetCompanyName
`$0\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe`
Pop $1
${If} $1 == "PortableApps.com"
;=== Check that it's running
FindProcDLL::FindProc "PortableAppsPlatform.exe"
${If} $R0 == 1
;=== Do a partially automated install
StrCpy $AUTOMATEDINSTALL "true"
[...]
I don't know if the code is exactly the same active today but the trick still
works this way.
For people not experts in coding, this lines recognize if the
PortableAppsPlatform.exe file is present and running and, just in case, they
enable the automated install.
So what's my point?
You can do whatever you want with the your code but have the courage to tell
the true: everyone must know that applications portabilized with the PAF format
can be automated install only from PortableApps.com launcher.
Then the communities for free and open software will decide if using such a
method is ethical or not.
