I am not sure if RAD Studio from 2007 to XE6 are using same type of installer to package. As end user of RAD Studio, I always run Setup.exe in RAD Studio and perform the installation by selecting options from the wizard dialogs page by page.
Is there any options in RAD Studio installer that may perform the installation via command line only without GUI dialogs?
Some useful links regarding silent Delphi installs, not really an answer but what I found doing my own research

Has some notes on some of the command line parameters - still need to supply the license however

This article indicates that silent installs are not possible (not sure of its age however)

XE6 release notes, doesn't say anything about silent installs

I'm running the 2005 version of delphi, which is all we are allowed to use for our school projects (so I can't update to a more recent version of delphi)
What I'm trying to do is install the TChart component into my delphi so that I can add the component to my VCL Form however can't seem to find the download link for the source code to install it via a package inside of delphi.
Could you possibly help me get TChart installed onto my delphi 2005 version? If its even possible..
Thanks
As the previous comments indicate, TeeChart Standard should be included in Delphi 2005 installation, as with all RAD Studio versions.
If you want to use this version but you can't find the TChart component in the palette, search for the dcltee*.bpl in the bin folder in the IDE installation and try to install it through the Components list in the IDE.

I installed my Delphi 2005 Personal but after running the IDE it gives me AV and some help bpl file error. I came to a conslusion that this occurs because somehow I don't have installed Microsoft Document Explorer.
Then my question is: where can I download Microsoft Document Explorer? I can't find any links myself. I think it comes with Visual Studio but I don't want to install it only to have a help system in Delphi.
Update
When installing Delphi I did a certain trick to not install .NET 1.0 stuff and I did wrong. There was the Microsoft Document Explorer in one of these packages. Just had to install the .NET SDK.

Afaik it is part of MSDN, but that is an huge download:

The Embarcadero FTP server might also be a smart location to check.
I found same problem when trying to install devExpress component for Delphi 2010. Problem was solved when reinstalling the help build.
Typically, the install of the JEDI libraries is done using the installer. Does anybody know if the installer
Works with Rad Studio XE (Delphi and Builder)
Can be easily modified to do so if not
Knows of some manual install instructions?
Thanks
Depends on what JEDI Libraries your talking about as there are several.
Typically updated JEDI Library are available for download on sourceforge a few days after release. As they are not permitted to publish the required changes before the release. But since the JCL is used in the RAD Studio IDE, it is always updated to the latest version.
The JCL (JEDI Code Library) is on the partner DVD.
JCL for XE can be downloaded from Code Central here: http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/27879
The JVCL (Jedi Visual component Library) can be downloaded from Code Central here: http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/27901
The Delphi XE Partner DVD contains JCL and JVCL.
If you are using the Delphi XE trial, then it's possible that jedi installer does not work even when Jedi make the release with support of Delphi XE. That is because the tral version of the products doesn't support command line tools (e.g. command line compiler) that the installers need to compile Jedi's BPLs
The current state of the JCL and JVCL do not work with Builder C++ XE.
The author has stated he hopes for a release On Sept 10, 2010
Unless you are in a hurry you should wait for an official release, but if there are not "breaking changes" (and AFAIK XE has not), it's not difficult to modify the packages to generate different bpl/dcp names at least and install them manually.
I just downloaded the Delphi 2010 iso from my SA-subscription and wanted to install it in addition to my other Delphi installations on my notebook computer. Unfortunately it refuses to install because the machine is running Windows 2000.
Is it possible somehow to get it to install it anyway? Or is there a technical reason why it might not work, even if it installed?
edit:
Some more information:
Delphi 2009 installed fine on that computer, so dotNET 2.0 is already installed.
The Delphi 2010 installer comes up, asks me for the language to use and then says "This product requires at least Windows XP. Setup cannot continue."
What I am looking for now, is either:
a way to get the installer to skip this check and install anyway - or -
a reason why this would not work (e.g. Delphi is using some Windows API that is not available in Windows 2000)
You could try to start the setup.exe with the /Win2K parameter. Maybe this helps. But I heard from a German forum that a user who installed Delphi 2010 into Windows 2000 had lots of problems with the IDE. So use the /Win2K parameter at your own risk.
And you must have at least .NET 2.0 SP1 installed
According to the minimum system requirements, Windows 2000 is not supported. They might use some XP+ specific API's these days, but then again they might not, as Delphi 2009 installed fine on Windows 2000.
The first thing you might want to check is if you have .Net (2.0 minimum) on your machine. According to the document linked above, they try to install The .Net 3.5 distributable otherwise, and that one definitely requires XP minimum.
windows 2000 is supported in Delphi 2010, check the following link:
Target Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7 from single source
I think the problem is from your pc, maybe because there are other versions are installed, can you post the message?
When we select Help / CodeGear Help from the Delphi 2007 for Win32 (Enterprise) menu, we get the error 'Access violation at address 02E85FC7 in module 'htmlhelp2100.bpl'. Read of address FB300182.'.
Then when we exit Delphi we get the Windows dialog 'CodeGear RAD Studio for Windows has stopped working'.
Selecting a keyword in the editor and pressing F1 displays a busy cursor for a couple of seconds then nothing. No help, no error.
Is anyone out there able to use the Delphi 2007 help system when installed under Windows 7?
Editing, compiling, linking all seem to work just fine.
We have loaded the IDE both with normal privileges and 'Run as administrator'. Same result.
Even though there is a prerequisite check for the .NET framework 2.0 SDK during installation and the check passes, to get the Delphi 2007 for Win32 help system to work under Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit you must download and install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK (including the documentation).
If you download and install the .NET framework 2.0 SDK after you have already installed Delphi, then execute install_and_view.cmd from the Delphi Help/Doc directory, the help system will then work.
