[Bug 53938] New: Silent Install

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53938

          Priority: P2
            Bug ID: 53938
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
           Summary: Silent Install
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
          Reporter: jb@bolioshot.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
           Version: 7.0.30
         Component: Packaging
           Product: Tomcat 7

This is a feature request.  Currently installing Apache Tomcat 7 silently
defaults to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0 even if a
previous install was in a different directory.  I am requesting that the silent
install switch (/S) installs Tomcat in the directory located in the registry
key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat\7.0\Tomcat7\InstallPath, which is the location of the
previous install, whether in the default location or not.
I am aware of the install switch /D=install directory, but if that switch isn't
used, it should default to the location of the previous install that is shown
in the registry.
If you are able to fix it for 7.0 could you also fix it for every supported
version of Tomcat?
Thanks -JB

1. I think it will be counter-intuitive. You are proposing that the installer
program change its behaviour based on some hidden system state.

2. I do not see a merit in such feature.

3. If Tomcat uninstalls, the key should be removed from the registry. So you
would not be able to use this feature.

4. If you consider installing over already-installed Tomcat, see bug 51496.

5. You are wrong with the key name. The key name depends on parameters that are
chosen during installation. It is

"SOFTWARE\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat\@VERSION_MAJOR_MINOR@\$TomcatServiceName"
