Extract the required files

Launch the PI AF Client install kit to extract the files required for an installation or upgrade through the command line, cancelling the installation after the files have been extracted. Follow these steps to extract the contents from the PI AF Client install kit (PI AF Client_2024_R2.exe).

Note: Check the actual executable filename in your install kit to ensure you are using the correct filename in your command line syntax. For example, a typical filename is PI AF Client_2024_R2.exe.

1. Double-click the install kit to be extracted.

   If User Account Control (UAC) is enabled for the logged on user, a UAC message displays asking if you want to allow the installation to make changes to the computer.

2. Click Yes to continue. Click No to Cancel.

   A dialog displays with a default extraction path for the installation files.

3. Change the path if you want to extract the files to a different location.

   You can use the folder icon to browse to and select a different location, or you can type a new path.

4. Click OK to continue or click No to Cancel.

   A dialog displays with a progress bar showing the progress of the file extraction. Click Cancel to exit the extraction process.

5. The Welcome window opens. At this point the files have been extracted, so you can click cancel to exit the installation.

6. Navigate to the location where the files were extracted.
