Silent Installations

Many of the options here are substitutes for actions that can be done via the installer UI that means they can be specified in a script and run without user intervention.

When using this option, it is worth taking a log, using the "/v /L" or "/v /Log" options mentioned in Available Options When Using msiexec.exe in the previous section Command Window Options, in case any problems are encountered. The installer detects that the procedure is intended to be silent and will not show any error message dialogs.

Note Logging directives are omitted for space and clarity in the following section. You should to specify a log file when performing silent installation operations.

Two directives are needed for a truly silent installation:

Directive	Description
/s	Installer option will hide the opening dialogs as the installer is being unpacked before running
"/v /quiet"	msiexec option suppresses the UI for the rest of the installation

To perform the equivalent of a Custom install silently, use the ADDLOCAL option defined earlier to set which parts of Xpress Insight are included. The options are:

• Server for the Insight Server
• Worker for the Insight Execution Worker

If ADDLOCAL is not specified, all of Xpress Insight 5 will be installed. To install everything except specified element, set ADDLOCAL to the special value ALL and REMOVE to the element names:

/s "/v /quiet ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=Worker"

Note This may become more useful as and when more elements are added to the installation. Multiple elements for the ADDLOCAL or REMOVE value can be listed sequentially separated by commas. For example, " /v ADDLOCAL=Server,Worker"
