# Stein - Silent Temp Installer

[![CI Status](https://github.com/nkristek/Stein/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/nkristek/Stein/actions)

This application makes it easier to install, uninstall or reinstall multiple MSI-installers. 

It was built for an environment with regular builds of an application.

**Please note:** This application needs administrator privileges to operate on installers without UI.

## Available options

### No UI during install

It will start the installation with the "/QN" option which means it will be installed in the background with default options.

When this option is set, the [Disable reboot after installation](#disable-reboot-after-installation) option should be strongly considered especially when operating with multiple installers at once.

### Disable reboot after installation

It will start the installation with the "/norestart" option which means the installer should not automatically reboot the system after installation. 

### Filter duplicate installers

If enabled, only one installer per application will be installed. This is usefull, when there are multiple installers which install the same application but different languages.

### Install log

It will start the installation with the "/L*V LOGPATH" option which means the installer should log all operations.

You can optionally set a limit on how many log files should be kept. After an operation, the oldest log files will be deleted.

### Additional arguments

When performing a custom operation you can define additional arguments for each installer.
