Silent Install with MSIX

To silently install a product for all users on a machine, PowerShell must be opened with Administrator privileges, use the Add-AppxProvisionedPackage command.

Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -SkipLicense -PackagePath C:\apps\AVEVA.UnifiedEngineering_XXXX.2408.1409.5230__ rmxc60bdg8z8w.msix

In the examples, XXXX indicates the product version number, for example, 3000.

After physical installation of the application is completed, the following syntax can be used in the command line application to supply responses to the first run wizard dialogue silently.

ue -interactive:false -tool:setup --args:--eula true --ProjectPath <project path> --DefaultsPath <defaultspath> --UserdataPath <userdatapath> --license <license> --telemetry false

For example:

ue -interactive:false -tool:setup --args:--eulaAccepted true –ProjectPath “c:\users\public\documents\AVEVA\Projects\” --defaultsPath “c:\users\public\Documents\AVEVA\UnifiedEngineering\Defaults\” --userDataPath “c:\users\public\Documents\AVEVA\UnifiedEngineering\UserData\” --license “abc” –-telemetry false

Information regarding the details of an existing install can be accessed using the Get-AppxPackage PowerShell command.

For example, Get-AppxPackage AVEVA.UnifiedEngineering returns the following:

Furthermore, if only one element of this data is required, this can be gathered using a more discreet syntax (Get-AppxPackage AVEVA.UnifiedEngineering).Version
