R devel - Jun 2005 - Unattended Windows installation of R modified with v2.1.1

FYI, I just noticed that an unattended Windows installation of R v2.1.1 
patched (2005-06-22), that is,

  rw2011pat.exe /silent /sp- /norestart

no longer installs the perl scripts INSTALL, build check and so on (I 
think this is the flag "Source Package Installation Files" in
InnoSetup.
   It used to do this as I can remember. I have not tried

/COMPONENTS="comma separated list of component names"
set the initial list of components: Components are named main, chtml, 
html, latex, manuals, refman, libdocs, devel, tcl, mbcs, Rd and trans.

from the rw-FAQ.html, which will probably do what I want.

If this modification was not intended, I just want to make the 
maintainer of the R Windows InnoSetup script (Duncan M and Brian R?) 
aware of it.

Cheers

Henrik

Well, rw2011.exe does install the default set of components for me, and 
nothing has changed in the last few days.

Note that Inno Setup does pick up default options from a previously 
installed version of R, so that might be the explanation.  (It might even
do so if one had already been uninstalled: the docs are not clear about 
this.)

Specifying /COMPONENTS is probably what you want to do to be sure.
