Silently install the AVEVA Real-Time System software

See Switches and variables for the command-line installation of AVEVA Real-Time System for a list of the available switches and variables that you can use for a silent installation.

Silently install the AVEVA Real-Time System software

1. Verify that you do not have an older version of AVEVA Real-Time System (RTS) installed by using the Add and Remove Programs feature from the Windows Control Panel.

2. Open a Command Prompt window.

3. At the command prompt, enter the full file path of the SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe file.

   If the file path contains spaces, enclose the file path in quotation marks. For example:

   "C:\Installs\AVEVA Process Simulation 2025.1\SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe"

4. Add the /install and /quiet switches to the command:

   "C:\Installs\AVEVA Process Simulation 2025.1\SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe" /install /quiet

5. If you want to change the name of the installation log file, add the /log switch and file name to the command:

   "C:\Installs\AVEVA Process Simulation 2025.1\SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe" /install /quiet /log "C:\Install Logs\AVEVA Process Simulation.txt"

   If the file name does not include the full file path, the log file appears in the folder from which you run the command (that is, the current directory shown at the command prompt). A copy of the log file always appears in the %TEMP% folder.

6. If you want to change the install location from the default installation folder (%LocalAppData%\SimSci), add the InstallFolder variable to the command, and then set it to the file path for the folder in which you want to install the RTS software. For example:

   "C:\Installs\AVEVA Process Simulation 2025.1\SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe" /install /quiet InstallFolder="C:\AVEVA\Process Simulation 2025.1"

7. Press Enter.

   The installation program runs and installs the software in the background.

   You will not see any notifications or messages when the installation completes.

   If you want to view the progress of the installation, including when the installation completes, use the /passive switch instead of the /quiet switch. In this case, the Setup Progress screen appears while the installation program runs.
