Silent Installation

The Communication Drivers Pack supports silent (command line) installation. The prerequisite products that are installed during the silent installation includes:

• Activation-based Licensing components

  • AVEVA Enterprise Licensing

  • AVEVA Enterprise License Manager

  • AVEVA Enterprise License Server

Before initiating the silent installation of Drivers Pack, it is strongly recommended that you stop all the DAServers, OI Servers, and Communication Drivers.

Silent Installation Syntax

The basic syntax of the silent installation command consists of the full path to the Silent_Install_Setup.bat file (typically the DVD drive designation on your local computer), and the command line switch.

<DVD>: AVEVA Communication Drivers Pack>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /<argument>

The usage instructions can be retrieved by the following command line. It returns the supported operations - install and uninstall.

<DVD>: AVEVA Communication Drivers Pack>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /?

To install/uninstall the Communication Drivers Pack

1. Open a command prompt using Run as administrator

2. Run the batch file set up with the /install or /uninstall switch respectively.

   Installation: C: AVEVA Communication Drivers Pack>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /install

   Uninstallation: C: AVEVA Communication Drivers Pack>Silent_Install_Setup.bat /uninstall

3. Wait for the system to display the confirmation message - Silent installation completed successfully or Silent uninstallation completed successfully

The silent installation process installs all the Communication Drivers along with the prerequisite products. However, the uninstallation process uninstalls only the Communication Drivers and the dependent components. All the prerequisites and independent components should be uninstalled manually.
