Unable to install / uninstall WireShark silently

0

According to the documentation, running the installer with a "/s" will enable WireShark to be installed silently with the default settings.

I've downloaded wireshark-win32-1.4.3.exe and have been unable to get the /s switch to work.

After a manual install, I have tried a silent uninstall running "uninstall.exe /s". This does not work either.

Any help with the above?

Thanks

Are you using /s or /S? NSIS (the system we use to create installation packages) makes a distinction between upper and lower case options.

Thank you. I didn't realise the switch was case sensitive. I have tried "/S" and it worked.
