How do I perform a silent installation of the ALS Client configuration Tool?

To silently roll out the ALS Client configuration tool to all users:

The ALS installer .msi can be run by command line to silently install the whole product by using the command which is supplied along with a silent-30363(release number).bat file if the ALS release is on a DVD release.

The bat file basically runs msiexec sending the output to a logfile named with the date and time, as follows:

set mndate=%DATE:/=-%

set mntime=%TIME:/=-%

set logfilename=C:\AVEVA\sinstallog\AVEVA_Licensing_install_%mndate%-%mntime%.log

Then msiexec is run to install ALL ALS writing the output to the logfilename.

Example:

msiexec /i "ALS103\Licensing1.03.msi" /qn REBOOT="ReallySuppress" /l*e "%logfilename%" /passive ADDLOCAL=ALL

Now to install the Client change ADDLOCAL=ALL to ADDLOCAL=CLI,CLIHLP. If they do not want the Client Help files then it can be reduced to ADDLOCAL=CLI

Example:

msiexec /i "ALS103\Licensing1.03.msi" /qn REBOOT="ReallySuppress" /l*e "%logfilename%" /passive ADDLOCAL=CLI
