Install and Configure in Silent Mode

To initiate a silent installation, open a command prompt with administrative privileges. The basic structure of the silent installation command includes three components:

• the complete path to the setup.exe file (usually denoted by the DVD drive letter on your local machine),

• the command line switch for silent installation, and

• the full path to the response file.

In the examples provided below, C:\ represents the system drive, and D:\ represents the DVD drive.

To see descriptions of the switches and options available, enter /? after the setup command.

D:\setup.exe /?

Setup.exe will install products in UI and Silent mode.

Setup.exe [/silent] [/silentmodify] [/silentrepair] [/silentuninstall] [/silentnoreboot] [/silentpatch] [/mingui] [responsefile] [/nowait]

/silent specifies the installation is silent Install and doesn't show UI.

/silentmodify specifies the installation is silent modify and doesn't show UI.

/silentrepair specifies the installation is silent repair and doesn't show UI.

/silentuninstall specifies this is silent uninstall.

/silentnoreboot specifies the installation is silent Install and doesn't show UI with no reboot.

/silentpatch specifies the installation is silent patch Install.

/mingui specifies the installation is silent with mingui.

/nowait specifies with silent Install/modify/repair/uninstall with immediate return to command line. responsefile specifies the response file.

Examples: setup.exe /silent responsefile.txt

setup.exe /silent responsefile.txt /domainname=adminuserdomainname /uname=adminusername / upwd=adminuserpassword

setup.exe /silentmodify responsefile.txt

setup.exe /silentrepair {productguid}

setup.exe /silentrepair {productguid}.{ownerguid}

setup.exe /silentuninstall {productguid}

setup.exe /silentnoreboot responsefile.txt

setup.exe /silentpatch

setup.exe /mingui responsefile.txt

setup.exe /silent responsefile.txt /nowait

setup.exe /silent responsefile.txt /domainname=adminuserdomainname /uname=adminusername / upwd=adminuserpassword /nowait

setup.exe /silentmodify responsefile.txt /nowait

setup.exe /silentrepair {productguid} /nowait

setup.exe /silentrepair {productguid}.{ownerguid} /nowait

setup.exe /silentuninstall {productguid} /nowait

Silent installation syntax: D:\setup.exe /silent <path\response-file-name>

Note that the full file specification of the response file (filename and location of file) must be included. For example: D:\setup.exe /silent C:\docs\BMInstall\response.txt

The /silent switch completely disables the graphical user interface of Setup.exe. There is no input from or feedback to the end user. However, the installation will output progress to a log file. The log is usually found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA\Install\ {} \ILog.log

Silent installation with minimal GUI syntax: D:\setup.exe /MINGUI Running setup with the /MINGUI switch will cause setup to install without any input from the end user, but it will display the progress of the installation on screen.

Silent installation with automatic system restart disabled: D:\setup.exe /silentnoreboot Running with the /silentnoreboot switch will keep the command window open so you can preserve messages from the installation process. A manual reboot will be required after installation completes.

For configuration only with command-line help: Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA and run the following command:

Configurator.exe /Silent=true /action=add /feature="AVEVA Enterprise Licensing:LicAPI2,Common Platform:ASBRuntime,AVEVA Batch Management:General,AVEVA Batch Management:BatchServer,AVEVA Batch Management:BatchHistoryServer,AVEVA Batch Management:BatchRuntimeClient,AVEVA Batch Management:BatchDevelopmentClient,AVEVA Batch Management:BatchReportingServer" /Response="C:\Response\All_Features_Configuration-Response.txt”
