Disable MongoDB logging with flag on MsiExecWithFlags?

Question

I'm installing MongoDB using Inno Setup. Related line of my setup.iss file:

  MsiExecWithFlags('{app}\dependencies\mongodb.msi', 'SHOULD_INSTALL_COMPASS="0" ADDLOCAL="ServerService"', 'MongoDB Community Server');

I need to completely disable MongoDB logging, and I've found that in order to achieve that I need to set systemLog.quiet = true, but it's not working:

  MsiExecWithFlags('{app}\dependencies\mongodb.msi', 'SHOULD_INSTALL_COMPASS="0" ADDLOCAL="ServerService" systemLog.quiet="true"', 'MongoDB Community Server');

Is disabling MongoDB logging even possible to set, as a flag in parameter of installer?

Answer 1

Don't use the .msi file. The MongoDB server is a single .exe (mongod.exe), you don't need anything else apart from a configuration file. Download the .zip, extract it and copy the .exe with your .iss file.

After copy run mongod.exe --config <the config file you created> --install to create the service.

See my repository https://github.com/Wernfried/mongoDB-oneclick as example. It should be no challenge to extract the ISS commands from the batch file, I created there.
