Sample Command Lines

A most definitive reference to MSI Command Line arguments can be found here. The following examples have been tested, but are only intended to demonstrate general Command Line principles.

Make sure that the command line has been opened using the option Run as administrator so that the silent install application has the correct User Access Control (UAC).

Example 1: Installing E3D Design with a custom installation directory and Projects directory setting an All Users License Server

msiexec /i "Full Path to .MSI file" PRODUCTDIR=D:\E3DX.X PROJECT=D:\Projects LICENSETYPE=0 LICENSESERVER=https://license.connect.aveva.com /qb!-

Example 2: Installing the product & projects to different locations, setting writeable areas to a separate drive, configuring a License Server and not creating Desktop Shortcuts.

The installation will run without user intervention and generate a log file in the Users Temp directory. Installs all Features to the C:\

msiexec /i "Full Path to .MSI file" PRODUCTDIR= "%ProgramFiles%\AVEVA\E3DX.X" PROJECT=D:\Projects AVEVA_DESIGN_DFLTS=D:\DFLTS AVEVA_DESIGN_USER=D:\USERDATA LICENSETYPE=0

LICENSESERVER=https://license.connect.aveva.com DESKTOPSHORTCUTS=0 /qb!-

Example 3: Removing an Installation

msiexec /x "Full Path to .MSI file" /qb!-
