Advanced Windows Installer Options

The FICO® Xpress Insight 5 software can be installed and removed interactively using the Windows operating system user interface. There is also the option to automate these processes.

The JAVA_HOME and XPRESS_INSIGHT_* environment variables need to be set globally. During a manual installation, this would be performed using the System > Advanced > Environment Variables dialog in the Windows UI. Setting these variables in an automated script may, depending on the scripting method, only apply those changes during the execution of the script itself. Take steps to ensure that variables are set globally, such as by using the Windows SETX or SET command.

Covered Topics
  • Command Prompt Options
    There are two tiers of options: the first set are used by the installer, the second are forwarded by the installer to the built-in Windows application msiexec.exe which handles the bulk of the installation process.
  • 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.
  • Silently Modifying an Existing Installation
    You can modify or remove an installed instance of Xpress Insight 5 by running the installer in the usual interactive way.
  • Silent Uninstallation
