Is there a way to run the Windows HISE installer from the command line without GUI?

[jmannix]

Or failing that, to extract the executable without running the full installer?

[d.healey]

@jmannix I don't think so, but I believe the installer just installs the HISE executable (possibly the plugin version also but I doubt it).

[jmannix]

@d-healey No worries, I was hoping I could extract the executable from the official installer from a CI pipeline without any user interaction but I will find a different approach.

[d.healey]

@jmannix Build it from source in your pipeline - the release version is always out of date anyway.

Another option is to upload the exe somewhere else and pull that in directly.

@d-healey definitely this it also makes sure that the source code you use for building the plugin matches the HISE source code.

To add to that if you do use the CI build configuration which is there exactly for this purpose - it skips some optimizations which you won‘t need if you only launch HISE to export your project to make the build go through faster.

[jmannix]

@Christoph-Hart Is there an example of a script that builds HISE from source code via the command line?

@jmannix check the tools directory of the repository. also check the CI Build workflows on github (click on the green checkmark)

Thanks everyone. I've got HISE building as part of the pipeline, and I can cache the results of that step to speed up subsequent builds.
