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 Prompt 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.
Two directives are needed for a truly silent installation:
|
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.
|
| 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"
