You can use the SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe and SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetupAllUsers.exe files as commands in a Command Prompt window or other command-line tool to do the following:
-
Open the AVEVA Real-Time System (RTS) installation wizard with a preconfigured setup.
-
Passively install RTS.
-
Silently install RTS.
-
Repair or uninstall an existing RTS installation.
All the controls that are available in the RTS installation wizard are available as variables or switches for the SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe and SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetupAllUsers.exe commands.
The following table lists the available switches that you can use with the SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe and SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetupAllUsers.exe commands.
|
Switch |
Description |
|---|---|
|
/install, /repair, or /uninstall |
(Optional) These switches direct the command to install, repair, or uninstall RTS, respectively. The /install switch is the default. That is, if you do not use any switches with the SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe or SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetupAllUsers.exe command, the software attempts to install RTS. If you use no switches, or only the /install switch with the command, the installation wizard opens, and you must confirm each installation step in the installation wizard. You must have a version of RTS installed to successfully use the /repair switch or /uninstall switch. Using the /repair switch opens the RTS installation wizard to the Modify Setup screen with the Repair button highlighted. You must select Repair to complete the uninstallation. Using the /uninstall switch opens the RTS installation wizard to the Modify Setup screen with the Uninstall button highlighted. You must select Uninstall to complete the uninstallation. You should ensure the following criteria are met before you try to uninstall RTS:
|
|
/passive or /quiet |
(Optional) These switches direct the command to passively or silently install RTS, respectively. A passive installation displays only the installation progress screen of the RTS installation wizard when you install RTS. You cannot make any changes to the installation options in the installation wizard. You must use the other available switches and variables to modify the installation as needed. A silent installation does not display the RTS installation wizard. You must use the other available switches and variables to modify the installation as needed. You should use these switches only with the /install switch. |
|
/log {log.txt} |
(Optional) This switch changes the name of the log file for the installation to the specified file name. 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). If the file name contains spaces, enclose the file name in quotation marks. The log file is always a plain text file regardless of the specified file extension. If you do not include the /log switch in the command, the log file appears in the %TEMP% folder and uses the default naming format of AVEVA™_Process_Simulation_RTS_yyyymmdd######.log. |
The following table lists the available variables that you can use with the SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe and SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetupAllUsers.exe commands.
|
Variable |
Description |
|---|---|
|
InstallFolder= |
This variable sets the installation folder to the specified file path location. You can use this variable only when you are installing RTS. This variable corresponds to the Destination folder box on the feature selection screen of the RTS installation wizard.
You can use this variable with the /install switch and any of the optional switches (/passive, /quiet, and /log). For example, the following command installs the single-user edition of RTS to the C:\AVEVA\Process Simulation 2025.1 folder: "C:\Installs\AVEVA Process Simulation 2025.1\SimSci.SimCentral.RtsCoreSetup.exe" /install InstallFolder="C:\AVEVA\Process Simulation 2025.1" |
