MSI option for python addon installation with command line

[Matthieu Penant]

I was wondering if there was any way to tell the MSI to install the python addon through the command line? I'd like to provide this option in the chocolatey package.

I have no idea how such installations work on the command line. I do not think there are any wix-experts in the cppcheck team. Do you have some information about how to improve our wix scripts?

Thanks for the hint about wix, it got me on track to find the solution:

• Considering the features defined here: https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/blob/master/win_installer/cppcheck.wxs
• Considering this hint about installing features from the command line with wix: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/246329/wix-how-to-select-features-from-command-line

I managed to achieve a full install with the following command-line:

msiexec /i cppcheck-1.87-x64-Setup.msi ADDLOCAL=CppcheckCore,CLI,GUI,Translations,ConfigFiles,PlatformFiles,PythonAddons,CRT

Complete doesn't seem to work, but putting all the features works fine. It makes it more fragile to changes if you add/remove features, but I don't think it happens so often.

The complete version of the package will be available soon there : https://chocolatey.org/packages/cppcheck

Thanks again for your help Daniel!
