Run the installer from a Windows command prompt or Powershell prompt with the /? option to display the following help dialog box.

The dialog box shows all the options available from the command line, including /passive and /quiet to disable most or all prompts and dialog boxes. These options are useful to automate the installation of AVEVA Unified Supply Chain on multiple computers.
-
/install: performs a standard installation. This is the default.
-
/repair: repairs the existing installation.
-
/uninstall: uninstalls the application.
-
/layout path_to_folder: creates a local copy of the installation bundle in the specified folder, or in the local folder if no path is specified. Not useful for AVEVA Unified Supply Chain installations, since the installer already contains all the necessary files.
-
/passive: displays a minimal user interface with no prompts.
-
/quiet: displays no user interface and no prompts.
-
/norestart: suppresses any attempt to restart the computer.
-
/log log_file_name: writes the log to the specified file. By default, a log file is created in the %TEMP% folder.
Other command line options use the KEYWORD=VALUE syntax and are listed in the following table. With the exception of SUPPORTEMAIL, these options determine the default values for various parameters when creating a profile for a new install of AVEVA Unified Supply Chain.
