Installing Delphi silently

[FreeDelphiPascal 11]

I tried to install Delphi 11.3 using the silent installer.

I extracted the exe and the gof files from the ISO and put them in a folder.

The problem is that the silent installer started to download all the stuff from the web (took a bit under 1 hour to finish).

 

The documentation is very poor. It only says: "Silent Install is available for offline and online installation. In the offline installation, there is a GOF file and the setup executable. In the online installation, there is a setup executable and an automatic download of the required packages in the background."

 

Issue: It installs EVERYTHING!

This is my command line:

radstudio_11_esd_113236a.exe /SILENT /NORESTART /LOG="Log.txt" /FEATURES=delphi_windows;samples;help;dunit;interbase_express;interbase_2020

For this command line, it also installed CBuilder, which, as you can see, is not in the list.
I have a feeling that the order in which the parameters are listed is relevant! Update: I changed the parameter order. It still installs everything.

 

Issue: It installs from the web

In the "DOS" box, it says "downloading...". Maybe it is only saying that, and the installation is so long because it installs ALL possible packages and CBuilder?

 

Has anyone seen the same behavior?

Is the new silent installer (D11) broken? It worked for D10.4.
