Install AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management Client

You can install AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management client in different methods. The client configuration file (Aveva.Erm.Client.exe.config ) includes a profile section with SERVERHOST and SERVERPORT values. With the settings applied, the client connects to the erm01 server on port 9200 using the net.tcp protocol.

Using Double Select

Run the installer Aveva.Erm.Installer.msi and follow the instructions. The double select method of installation does not support properties.

Using msiexec.exe and Command Line Properties

Open a command prompt and run the following command:

msiexec /i Aveva.Erm.Installer.msi SERVERHOST=erm01 SERVERPORT=9200

The SERVERHOST and SERVERPORT properties are overridden using command line properties.

Using msiexec.exe and a Transform File

Note: For instructions on how to generate a transform file, see Create an installer transform.

Open a PowerShell console and generate a transform file that overrides the SERVERHOST and SERVERPORT properties by running the following command:

..\InstallTools\SetupClient\New-InstallerTransform.ps1
-InstallerPath Aveva.Erm.Installer.msi
-TransformPath Aveva.Erm.Installer.mst
-ServerHost erm01 -ServerPort 9200 -Verbose

Open a command prompt and run the following command:

msiexec /i Aveva.Erm.Installer.msi TRANSFORMS=Aveva.Erm.Installer.mst

The SERVERHOST and SERVERPORT properties are overridden using the transform file.

Using msiexec.exe Silently

Open a command prompt as administrator and run the following command:

msiexec /i Aveva.Erm.Installer.msi SERVERHOST=erm01 SERVERPORT=9200 /qn

If a transform file is generated run the following command:

msiexec /i Aveva.Erm.Installer.msi TRANSFORMS=Aveva.Erm.Installer.mst /qn

When using the /qn option, the installer runs silently in the background without displaying any user interface. A visual indication after the completion of the installation is not provided.

Silent installation is mainly for bulk roll-out on multiple client machines.

Using msiexec.exe to Extract Files

Open a command prompt and run the following command:

msiexec /a Aveva.Erm.Installer.msi TARGETDIR=c:\temp\ermclient

The command extracts the AVEVA Enterprise Resource Management Client files from the .msi package to the specified target directory for testing or evaluation. The server host and port are configured manually in the Aveva.Erm.Client.exe.config file.

The client application is not installed with shortcuts and you can use the client without administrator privileges.
