I found the command line option /S for installing erlang 17.3 x64 for
windows in silent mode, but I'd also like know know if there are command
line options for no docs and no Star Menu items?

Thanks,

wes

Hijacking the topic: is the source for creating the installer somewhere?

Hello,

I don't think there is a way to do what you want with the current
installer. The /S option is builtin into any nsis installer, which is why
it is there. For a full list of installer options see
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter3.html#installerusagecommon

To do what you want you will most probably have to edit the nsis script,
which can be found here:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/erts/etc/win32/nsis/erlang.nsi.
I've never really taken the time to understand what it does, but I think it
should be possible to do what you want.

Thanks. I'll see if I can figure something out from that.
