New Installation Framework

Plant SCADA 2023 R2 includes a new installation framework that simplifies the selection and installation of required components.

Plant SCADA's core components appear as a single entry within the Programs and Features list in Windows Control Panel, making it easier to uninstall. The new framework also supports Modify functionality, which means you can easily add and remove components (see Uninstall or Change Components).

The installation of Plant SCADA can also be executed via a command line, enabling support for an unattended silent installation. The required components are specified via a configurable response file that represents the forms normally seen when interacting with the user interface of the Plant SCADA installer.

Four preconfigured response files are provided. They install a typical set of required components, or they can be used as reference for your own customized response file.

• All.txt – installs all components

• DevelopmentWorkstation.txt – installs components for a development workstation

• RuntimeClient.txt – installs components for a runtime client

• Server.txt – installs components for a runtime server.
